FGD Gypsum Market: A Sustainable Resource Transforming the Construction Industry
The increasing global focus on sustainable practices and circular economies is driving a surge in demand for by-products that can be repurposed efficiently. One such material that is garnering attention across industries is Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) gypsum — a synthetic gypsum produced from the desulfurization of flue gases in power plants. As environmental regulations tighten and industries pivot toward greener operations, the FGD gypsum market is poised for substantial growth. Understanding FGD Gypsum FGD gypsum is a by-product of the flue gas desulfurization process, where sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is removed from the emissions of fossil-fuel-fired power plants. The result is a high-purity calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O) that mirrors natural gypsum in chemical composition and properties, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications.
