| Abstract | Economic development and population growth has strong linkages with energy, since higher growth requires higher energy inputs, the relationship between them become more and more significant. However, the amount of extra energy required for growth is also a function of the efficiency with which energy is used; this also affects the amount of pollutant emissions from the power sectors. Most of the electrical productions have come from coal and oil that are associated with emissions of carbon dioxide (C02), sulphur oxides (S02) and nitrogen (NOx) and particulates. C02 is one of the greenhouse gas (GHG) and limiting its high level of global emissions is a major issue in the debate on global warming and climate change. Particularly the burning of fossil fuels, may lead to catastrophic environmental impacts due to climate change and global warming. In order to meet the electricity demand of the national economy in the future, Electricity of Vietnam plans to invest in development of economical generation sources and upgrade and rehabilitate existing power plants simultaneous find out method to reduce pollutant emission on environment. This report introduces the environmental impacts of Pha Lai thermal power plant which is compared with NAAQS and it is also base to give method for particulates and C02emission mitigation by using of Clean Coal Technology as well as improving of efficiency of electrostatic precipitator. |
