Detailed explanation-1: -Coal-based Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) are responsible for a disproportionately higher share of emissions than the industrial sector (60 per cent of PM, 45 per cent of SO2, 30 per cent of NO2 and 80 per cent of mercury (Hg))1. The CPCB has categorized TPP as highly polluting activities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electrostatic precipitators device that removes suspended dust particles from a gas or exhaust by applying a high-voltage electrostatic charge and collecting the particles on charged plates and used to reduce air pollution due to smoke in power plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to this, solar thermal power plants represent a type of electricity generation technology that is cleaner than generating electricity by using fossil fuels. Thus, these are some of the cleanest options for generating electricity.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the case of combined heat and power (CHP), the fuel utilization efficiency is drastically increased, raising the overall efficiency of thermal power plants to up to 85% and reduce the CO2 emissions up to 40%.
