Emission Control

While burning coal in the boiler, coal-based thermal power plan­ts (TPPs) convert a large portion of nitrogen in the coal to various forms of nitrogen oxide (NOx) such as nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide and nitrous […]

Emission control from coal-based thermal po­wer plants (TPPs) is the key to facilitating a sm­ooth energy transition in India. Renewable energy ca­pa­city is growing at a rapid rate and coal-based plants are expec­ted to play […]

Coal-based capacity is the largest contributor to power generation in India with a share of 71 per cent in 2020-21. The drawback of the higher share of coal-based power generation ca­pa­city is the emission of […]

De-sulphur oxide (SOx) solutions are imperative for coal-based power plants to comply with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change’s environmental norms prescribed for thermal power plants (TPPs). While several technology solutions are av­ailable […]

Coal-fired thermal power plants (TPPs) account for a significant amount of the country’s greenhou­se gas emissions, contributing to pollution and poor air quality. The combustion process in TPPs converts some of the nitrogen bound in […]

Thermal power plants (TPPs) utilise significant amount of fresh water during power generation for con­den­ser cooling, removal of plant heat from plant auxiliaries and cycle make-up. Currently, TPPs in India account for less than 5 […]
