== == Acid gas emissions cold be reduced by:
* Reducing demand on the station (less fuel burned less emissions) * Make the staitons more efficient * Use a lower sulfur coal * Improve NOx forming conditions in the boilers * Remove Acid Gases by treatmnt before discahrge * Close inefficient stations * Have a shedding strategy for the network that uses lower politon emitting stations first

What power stations produce CO2?
Most power stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce CO2 as a byproduct of combustion. These fossil fuel power stations are major contributors to CO2 emissions and climate change.
How can sulphur emissions from power stations be reduced?
Sulphur emissions from power stations can be reduced by installing flue gas desulfurization systems, using low-sulphur coal or other fuels, implementing advanced combustion technologies, and increasing the use of renewable energy sources. Additionally, switching to natural gas or nuclear power can help reduce sulphur emissions from power stations. Regular maintenance and monitoring of equipment is also important to ensure optimal efficiency in reducing sulphur emissions.
What gases are released from coal fired power station?
Coal fired power stations release carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere. These emissions contribute to air pollution and global climate change.
How is sulfur dioxide removed from coal fired power stations?
Sulfur dioxide in coal-fired power stations is typically removed using a process called flue gas desulfurization (FGD). This can be done through methods such as scrubbing with a limestone slurry or using specialized equipment like dry sorbent injection systems. These processes help to capture and neutralize sulfur dioxide before it is released into the atmosphere.
What resources do coal fired power stations use?
The most significant resource that a coal fired power station uses is of course coal. Coal is a non renewable natural resource and mining of coal has significant negative effects. In many cases coal is mined in sensitive grassland and wetland habitats - causing significant water pollution. Power stations also rely on large amounts of freshwater in the cooling towers as part of the power production process.
What kind of steam engines are used in power stations?
Coal fired steam driven power stations are still in use
Why is South Africa investing on gas-fired power stations?
South Africa is investing on gas-fired power stations because gas is a cheaper natural resource, it is efficient and does not produce a lot of pollution when it is burnt to generate electricity.
What power stations produce CO2?
Most power stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas produce CO2 as a byproduct of combustion. These fossil fuel power stations are major contributors to CO2 emissions and climate change.
What is bad about gas fired power stations?
Gas fired power stations contribute to global warming by releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. They also require extraction and transportation of fossil fuels, which can have negative environmental impacts. Additionally, there are concerns about the potential for gas leaks and accidents at these facilities.
Why coal-fired power stations have been replaced by gas-fired ones?
Money and politics. Mostly its a joke - to make a real difference they need to be converted to geo-thermal.
How efficient are thermal power stations?
Coal fired plants about 40 percent, nuclear reactors (PWR) about 33 percent
Where are coal fired power stations located?
Most countries have coal fired power generation plants. some very big ones are in Poland, Germany, the USA, China.
What is the name of the North Island river in New Zealand that has numerous dams and land power stations to provide us with electricity?
Along the length of the Waikato River in the North island are a number of hydro electric stations, geothermal power stations, and the river is used as coolant for the Huntly coal-fired power station.
How the UK make electricity?
The majority of he UK's electricity is generated by coal or gas-fired power stations. We also use nuclear power, wind and wave generators.
Is a Coal Fired Power Stations renewable or non-renewable?
Coal is a non-renewable fossil fuel. When it is burnt, you have to find more for tomorrow.
How could power stations reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they produce?
There are many ways to generate electricity. Methods that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce carbon dioxide. Methods using renewable energy do not. Nuclear power plants, although uranium in non-renewable, do not produce carbon dioxide. Power stations could be rebuilt to use different fuel sources. Biomass and biofuel will power a coal fired power station without emitting the carbon dioxide pollution.
What could be a source of chemical weathering?
a coal fired power plant.
