Impact of emissions from organic fuel combustion on environmental protection

Abstract

This article examines the significant environmental impacts of thermal power plants and combined heat
and power plants that generate electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels. Power plant flue gases emit a large
number of solid and gaseous pollutants into the atmosphere, including harmful substances such as ash, carbon
oxides, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides. In addition, significant amounts of carbon dioxide and water vapor are released
into the atmosphere. Reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere can primarily be achieved by reducing the
quantity and improving the quality of fuel burned. A global focus in this area is the comprehensive improvement
of power plant efficiency and a corresponding reduction in specific fuel consumption. To accelerate this process,
it is necessary not only to continually improve equipment but also to intensify the dismantling and reconstruction
of obsolete equipment, the share of which in the country's power systems is increasing every еar. Improving the
quality of fuel used is also an important environmental measure. From an air quality perspective, fuels that contain
fewer undesirable impurities, primarily ash, sulfur, and nitrogen, are preferable. Therefore, to avoid excessive air
pollution, preference should be given to low-ash and low-sulfur fuels whenever possible. Natural gas is the cleanest
organic fuel. Its combustion does not emit particulate matter and produces virtually no sulfur emissions. flue gases,
