Abstract
The importance of Coal in generation of electricity is well established. But, during the combustion of coal for generation of electricity, oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are also released. These oxides of nitrogen are pollutants which have an adverse effect on both the human life as well as the environment. Due to the increased pollution level from Coal Fired Power Plants, Ministry of Environment & Forests (MOE&F) on Dec 2015, announced stringent standards for coal based thermal power plants under the Environment Protection Act of 1986. Though various NOx control systems have been installed and functioning properly worldwide, but their provenness in the Indian scenario is yet to be established. As the coal in which the Indian power plants operates have a very different characteristics than the coal used abroad for power plants. This paper aims to address and explore the various methods and challenges in reducing the NOx emissions from Coal Fired Power Plants while firing Indigenous coal.
