Similarly, pairing renewable solar energy with fossil fuels can provide reductions in emissions while also solving some of the problems associated with solar energy's variability, making solar a viable portion of a base - load plant.

The electricity generated is fed to the national grid, and replaces electricity which would otherwise be generated by fossil fuel fed power plants, resulting in further emission reductions.

These tools include so - called «inside the fenceline» measures — a range of technologies and fuel choices to reduce the emissions of the plant itself — and the ability to use credits reflecting the emission reductions that result from ramping up generation at cleaner plants.

An APS press release from June 1, 2016 says it is requesting $ 3.6 billion in upgrades and maintenance for the grid; and then lists $ 500M for Ocotillo gas plant refurbishing, plus $ 400M for the 1,636 MW Four Corners coal plant, but rate case testimony by APS general manager of fossil fuel generation John Lucas states that APS will spend $ 435 million on pollution control (Selective Catalytic Reduction or SCR) for Four Corners.

CCS is a technology that allows reduction of fossil fuel emissions by capturing CO2 from large emitters (such as coal or gas power plants and the steel industry) and storing it underground.

If low carbon electricity production were used to generate the remaining electricity needed, and fossil fuel plants were closed, then a reduction of 60 % of all emissions from buildings would be possible by 2030, CAT says.

This has always been the only serious risk and what must be avoided if the US and the developed world is to have a prosperous future that will allow humans to have access to the fossil fuel - generated energy needed for continued economic progress and improved human welfare and if plants are to not to lose partial access to one of their basic nutrients (assumming CO2 emissions reductions have any real effects on atmospheric CO2 levels).

The reduction of heat - trapping gas (greenhouse gas) emissions is stimulated by lowering existing subsidies that have the effect of raising emissions (such as subsidies to fossil fuel use) or by providing subsidies for practices that reduce emissions or enhance sinks (e.g. for insulation of buildings or for planting trees).

Finally, two weeks ago the EPA issued its draft guidelines on existing fossil fuel power plants, setting a nationwide goal of a 30 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from those plants by 2030, compared to 2005 levels (which were higher than today's).

The use of solar power to produce electricity at the plant, rather than fossil fuels, will result in a reduction of greenhouse gases equivalent to removing approximately one million cars from the nation's highways.

Carbon emission reductions could be achieved through energy conservation, increased use of renewable and other non-emitting energy or fuel switching from coal to natural gas in existing power plants.

Howard Learner, who has sought to block the construction of and shut down nuclear plants since the mid-1980s, insists Illinois can meet its carbon reduction goals even while burning more fossil fuels:

If you subtract emissions from two units to be mothballed at Dynegy's coal - fueled Baldwin plant (9.7 million tons) and a unit at the Newton coal plant (2.1 million tons), that represents about 40 percent of the CO2 reductions required.

On the other hand, it is reasonable to assume that natural market factors will gradually result in a reduction of ever more expensive fossil fuel combustion as older coal - fired power plants are shut down and replaced by nuclear plants, as hybrid and electrical cars gradually replace gasoline and diesel driven ones, and as energy efficiency is improved and waste reduced.

Using data provided by CBS, the Dutch Institute for Statistics, the researchers made an estimate of the «turning point» where the efficiency reduction of conventional power plants balances out the fuel savings from wind energy.
