A coal-fired power station can use filters to remove particulate emissions form its smokestack. In theory, it could also capture its carbon dioxide emissions for underground sequestration, but this is an unproven technology and might be neither long-term nor safe storage.

The best way for a power station to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions would be to convert to natural gas or to be replaced by a non-combustion source.

Do geothermal power stations make pollution?

No. Construction equipment used to build the station will burn fossil fuels and produce some pollution. When the station is complete it will produce pollution free electricity. The station will require some electric power from the grid to operate, and some of that electricity may be produced by coal powered plants which do produce pollution, but the geothermal power station will not produce pollution.


How do you reduce air pollution from power stations?
