<p>SO x removal equipment 15 which reduces sulfur oxides from flue gas 12 from a boiler 11, a cooler 16 which is provided on a downstream side of the SOx removal equipment 15 so as to reduce the sulfur oxides that remain in the flue gas 12 and decrease a gas temperature, CO 2 recovery equipment 17 which includes a CO 2 absorber for bringing CO 2 in the flue gas 12 into contact with a CO 2 absorption liquid so as to be reduced, and an absorption liquid regenerator for causing the CO 2 absorption liquid to emit CO 2 so as to recover CO 2 degenerate the CO 2 absorption liquid, and mist generation material reduction equipment 20 which reduces a mist generation material which is a generation source of mist that is generated in the CO 2 absorber of the recovery equipment 17 before introducing the flue gas 12 to the CO 2 recovery equipment 17 are included.</p>
