Abstract

India is the world’s fourth largest economy and has a fast growing energy market. India’s current power capacity is 30% short of demand. Coal and petroleum are the primary sources of energy. High ash content in Indian coal and inefficient combustion technologies contribute to India’s emission of air particulate matter and other trace gases, including gases that are responsible for the greenhouse effect. Climate change is one of the most serious single challenges faced by humankind today. Probably one of the greatest impacts in reducing CO2 emissions will be made by the introduction of Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants including carbon dioxide capture and storage. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas due to the very high overall amount emitted by human activities and about one third of the overall human CO2 emissions are produced by the power generation sector. The zero-emission power plant is no longer a fantasy. Filters are becoming increasingly sophisticated; removing dust and other harmful substances from exhaust Gases. And in the future, new power generation technologies should prevent Emissions of carbon dioxide getting into the atmosphere. Enhanced measurement Methods and more efficient power distribution are also helping to ensure cleaner air.
