Sentences with phrase «efficient coal stations»

Not exact matches

Indeed, notwithstanding Ontario's emphasis on green initiatives — fuel - efficient car production, wind power, the closing of coal - fired generating stations — climate change is the great battle of the present and future, one that neither Ontario nor any other jurisdiction is doing enough to fight.

There is no doubt that the global coal fleet is changing as older inefficient subcritical stations built decades ago in Europe and the US are being replaced by new, highly efficient plants in emerging economies like China, South and South - east Asia.

While ASEAN is already making a transition away from older, less efficient subcritical stations, towards HELE coal - fuelled facilities, scope exists for even greater gains.

These include more efficient coal plants and converting coal to gas, which can be burned more cleanly in power stations but actually has a higher lifecycle carbon footprint than directly burning coal.

China is taking important steps to close down smaller, inefficient power stations but it is also building large, modern and more efficient (HELE) coal - fired power plants — new regulations effectively ban subcritical (non-HELE) coal technology.

«The DLP will push for the retention of our cheap, clean and efficient coal fired power stations and look to a more transitional model of using coal gasification and other clean coal technologies that would be far less costly to the taxpayer, while producing a secure and solid baseline for our grid.»

By then, we may even have efficient new coal power stations, like the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans and Taiwanese.

In fact, the agency was banning even the most modern, very efficient, supercritical coal - fired stations because their carbon - dioxide emissions are at least 20 percent above the EPA limit.

Supercritical stations burn less coal per megawatt - hour produced and so benefit the environment and the electricity consumer.A modern, highly efficient, supercritical coal - fired station with stack gas cleanup is very clean indeed, essentially emitting only water vapor, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

For the UK to be on track to achieve the emission reductions required by the Climate Change Act, it would have to become as carbon efficient as France by about 2015; which magnitudinous challenge would require the equivalent of the UK constructing and putting into service about 30 new nuclear power stations in the next five years, while retiring an equal amount of coal - fired generation!

Coal burning in power stations is far more efficient than smoky inefficent open hearths and consequently far less particulate carbon gets into the air from each ton of coal buCoal burning in power stations is far more efficient than smoky inefficent open hearths and consequently far less particulate carbon gets into the air from each ton of coal bucoal burnt.

Converting efficient coal - burning power stations into ludicrously inefficient, wood - burning power stations (requiring the destruction of vast amounts of American woodland) isn't going to do that, either.

However, most coal - fired power stations have efficient precipitators and some have sulfur - capture technologies, so the net environmental effect of 10 % biomass substitution (on an energy basis) appears to be negligible.

«A modern, highly efficient, supercritical coal - fired station with stack gas cleanup is very clean indeed, essentially emitting only water vapour, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

Indeed, some of Australia's coal plants are still notoriously inefficient: Hazelwood Power Station in Victoria, for instance, has been ranked the least carbon - efficient power plant in the world.

In contrast, a coal - fired electricity generating station is about 35 percent efficient.
