What is cpp and ipp power plant?
A CPP is a captive power plant, a power plant that supplies large amounts of power outside its grid. A IPP is an independent power plant that supplies to only its grid.

Are you in favor of building Nuclear plants to reduce emissions of C02?
I, personally, am not. The nuclear plants have their own carbon footprint, which is a good deal more than the footprint of wind, hydro, or solar. It is possibly greater than the carbon footprint of biomass or geothermal, and, in fact, the only power sources with a larger carbon footprint than nuclear are fossil fuels. This is because the construction and decommissioning of nuclear plants, and the mining, refining, and enrichment of nuclear fuel are all carbon intensive. Also, we have no idea how the waste is going to be handled, so we are somewhat unsure of the total cost of nuclear power in terms of carbon emissions. Consider this: In Vermont, where I live, we are in the middle of a political decision over whether or not to permit a nuclear plant to continue operation. The amount of electrical power put out by the plant is some what less that what would be saved if the uninsulated or poorly insulated living and working buildings in the state were insulated. The saving of doing that job is mostly fossil fuels. If the fossil fuels saved were applied to distributed power generation, with the waste heat being recycled to heat buildings (which cannot be done with nuclear power because the plants are to far from cities) the carbon footprint for electrical generation would be reduced for electrical generation to about four to five times the carbon footprint of nuclear power. In addition, the electrical power grid would be more robust and reliable. Such distributed systems can be converted to use biomass instead of fossil fuels. Wind and solar can be added so the base-load plants can burn less fuel when renewable power is supplied. By the time you are done, the nuclear plant is replaced with locally fueled power. Nuclear plants will have to be built, but not for combating global warming. They will have to be designed to reduce nuclear waste as a way of dealing with it. We have a supply sufficient to power noncritical reactors for several centuries. In the meantime, the waste is dangerous. There is no excuse to make more. Clearly other people will have other ideas.
How did the Fukushima nuclear power plant work?
like any power plant
What is one situation where gravitational potential energy might be useful?

Disadvantages of geothermal power plant?
A geothermal power plant has a very low carbon footprint. However these types of plants are not efficient at producing energy.
Does geothermal power leave a carbo footprint?
A small one yes. To harvest the geothermal energy you need to drill, build plant and infrastructure. This drilling, and construction has a carbon footprint (it needs energy to do). However the geothermal energy harvested has no carbon footprint.
How is an imprint formed?
An imprint fossil is formed when an animal or plant makes a print in the soil. Such as a footprint.
How much co2 does a geothermal electrical plant produce?
Practically no carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced from a geothermal power plant once it has been established. There is a carbon footprint from its construction and assembly, but this is wiped out in a few months by the free, renewable, clean, non-polluting energy that it provides.
What is hydrological power plant?
A hydrolic power plant is a power plant that uses water. The hydrolic power plant uses the evaporation and condensation of water to work. The largest hydrolic power plant is Itaipu power plant.
What are the power plants available in Tamil nadu?
Thermal power plant,Hydro power plant,Nuclear power plant,Diesel power plant.
How does the power plant affect power?
The power plant produces power
What is a power plant called when it uses water power?
This type of plant is called a hydro power plant.
What are the factories called that process electricity?
electricity is made in a power plant.

What is a footprint calculator?
Footprint calculator can be carbon footprint calculator or ecological footprint calculator, which can give data about your impact on environment.
