In figure 2 (b) are shown the ocean heating rates for the three data sets and their uncertainties. (skepticalscience.com)
The average operating heat rate for gas - fired power plants is about 21 % lower than coal - fired electric generation facilities, creating less CO2 emissions. (eia.gov)
The projected level of heat rate improvement is sensitive to assumptions about natural gas supply that influence natural gas prices, reflecting competition between available compliance options. (eia.gov)
