What is the cost to produce 1 kW of electricity using coal fired boilers as a source of generation?

∙ 9y ago
The amount of fuel used to generate electricity depends on the efficiency or heat rate of the generator and the heat content of the fuel. Power plant efficiencies vary by types of generators, emission controls, and other factors. A coal power plant uses approximately 1.09 pounds of coal per KW.

What is the greatest source of carbon introduced into the air?
The single greatest source of CO2 emissions is coal-fired electricity generation.
One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?
The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.
Is an outlet a source of electricity?
No, an outlet is only a distribution point. A source of electrical energy would be the generation station, wind generator, photovoltaic cells (solar energy panels) or other devices that actually produce electrical energy by changing energy from one type (chemical, solar...) to another.
Is global warming a source of electricity?
No, global warming is the recent rapid warming of the earth, caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. This releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, which is building up in the atmosphere. It is not a source of electricity.
What is major source of Electricity in Hawaii?
* Petroleum provides nearly nine-tenths of all the energy consumed in Hawaii. * Petroleum-fired power plants supply more than three-fourths of Hawaii's electricity generation.
How do boilers get energy from turbine?
Usually boilers provide steam to power a steam turbine. The turbine could provide electricity to run any pumps in the boiler. But boilers get their energy from a heat source.
