Abstract
The authors offer a critical analysis of pollution indicators currently applied for the ecological assessment of the thermo power plant's operation. They forward new “energo-ecological” indicators to highlight both the qualitative aspect of polluting emissions and their quantitative aspect, by relating their concentration in the flue gases purged into the atmosphere to the energy produced during the same interval. The application of these indicators contributes to the attenuation of the global warming phenomenon and to the protection of the world's resources of fossil fuels.
Highlights
It is known that fact that a major part of the consumed primary energy comes from fossil fuels
The burning of these fuels result in polluting emissions purged into the atmosphere, that is, noxious gas emission, toxic for animal and plants, and greenhouse gases (GHGs)
The concentration of the atmospheric emissions of polluting gases resulted from the operation of thermo power plants (TPPs) is no longer an indicator enabling us to monitor two major challenges facing mankind today: global warming and rapid exhaustion of classic fuel reserves
Summary
It is known that fact that a major part of the consumed primary energy comes from fossil fuels The burning of these fuels result in polluting emissions purged into the atmosphere, that is, noxious gas emission, toxic for animal and plants (nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides, expressed as SO2 [1]), and greenhouse gases (GHGs). In the interest of reducing the total quantity of such emissions for avoiding the excessive global warming and for preserving mankind’s reserves of classic fuels, it has become important to consider the polluting emissions related to the energy produces during this process, in terms of their ratio We will analyze this issue in detail, with application to the field of thermo power plants(TPPs)
