Water Hungry Coal - Burning South Africa’s water to produce electricity
Safe, affordable and accessible water is regarded as one of our planet’s scarcest natural resources. This is particularly true on the African continent, where water insecurity is often an everyday reality. At the same time, equitable access to water is fundamental to life and human health and well-being. South Africa already struggles with water scarcity, and it is predicted that the ...

Nuclear energy and the environment
This paper compares the environmental and health impacts of generating electricity by both nuclear and coal chains. The comparison shows that the impact on the environment and on human health and the greenhouse gas emission factor from nuclear electricity generation is 1-2 orders of magnitude compared with using coal to generate electricity. The coal chain has become one of the major sources of ...

Coal and fuel burning effects on the atmosphere as mediated by the atmospheric electric field and galactic cosmic rays flux
Emissions into the atmosphere of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and particulate matter resulting from fossil fuel burning are considered to be the main anthropogenic forcing on the global climate. We show here that the external cyclic influences of cosmic origin that modulate the earth's climate may either reinforce or mitigate the 'local' terrestrial forcings. Among the external influences is cosmic ...

Turn Waste into Alternative Fuel! The Industrial Waste Recycling Treatment System has been Put into Operation.
Recently, one of the industrial waste recycling treatment system built by Harden has been put into operation. The system adopts the process of two stage shredding and automatic treatment to transform industrial waste such as leather scraps, cloth scraps, waste paper slag, waste fabric and waste plastics into solid recovered fuel (SRF), which are then sent to coal burning enterprises such as ...

Coal is abundant, let’s burn it responsibly
China coal stocks fully loaded right along with record setting power output China’s coal inventories at power plants are full despite recent record power generation, according to China’s National Development and Reform Commission. At the present the China’s coal supply and demand was stable. Lots of coal ready to burn. China’s daily power generation surged to a new high ...

How does this solid recovered fuel (SRF) preparation system save millions
Cement is a traditional industry with high energy consumption. Fuel and power costs account for over 50% of cement production costs. Because coal prices have nearly tripled since 2021, the fuel costs for cement plants have also increased, forcing the industry to raise cement prices to maintain profits. One cement plant client used the SRF preparation system for industrial solid waste developed by ...

Methylmercury in mosquitoes around a large coal‐fired power plant in Central Ohio
Emissions from coal‐fired power plants are the major anthropogenic source of mercury (Hg) in the environment. Because emitted Hg can be deposited near the source, concerns arise about the effects of coal‐burning facilities on levels of toxic methylmercury (MeHg) in biota near such sources. We investigated the potential impact of a large Hg‐emitting (450 kg in 2005) coal‐fired power station in ...

Oops! We’ve been Drilling in the Wrong Place!
An energy resource is immediately available that will annually yield over three times the total energy produced from the US Gulf of Mexico (US GOM). Drilling into this resource creates over 5 million jobs annually over the next ten years. Oil or coal once burned are gone and leave residuals of pollution that cost additional money to clean up. In the case of strip mining of coal and the Gulf Oil ...

Is “truly” clean coal attainable?
Almost everyone will agree that coal is an inherently dirty fuel. But coal is abundant, cheap and readily available for the world’s largest developing nations who’re planning to use coal to fuel their economies and provide electricity to hundreds of millions who still don’t have power in their homes. Coal is undeniable and will be around and used for the next fifty years in Asia ...

Why Are CHP Closing All Over The World?
Burning of coal nowadays has become a big problem. The main reason for this is a rapid increase of mankind. So, China burns half of coal in the world. Since 2000 the share of coal in world energy production has increased from 25 to 30%, and the Chinese economy is responsible for 82% of this growth. In Beijing, it is customary to use individual heat sources such as electric heaters and the like. ...

Used Tires are Better Fuels than Coal and Coke, Aliapur Says
A research conducted by French company Aliapur provides proof that burning used tires produce comparable energy (heat output) but less fossil CO2 emissions than burning coal or petroleum coke. Since used tires are not 100% fossil unlike coal and coke, their combustion emissions have renewable carbon or biomass fraction. Through ASTM D6866 testing, the biomass fraction of used tires was ...

Do the new EPA mercury and air toxics standards apply to all electric utility steam generating units?
Abstract: No – the new EPA Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) specifically apply to electric utility steam generating units or EGUs that are larger than 25 megawatts (MW) that burn coal or oil for the purpose of generating electricity for sale and distribution through the national electric grid to the public. These EGUs include those providing electricity for commercial, industrial ...

How Long Can The Straw Pellets Burn Made By The Straw Pellet Machine
The straw pellet machine directly compresses the crushed straw, and it does not produce chemical changes during the production process, just simple high-temperature compression. The advantage of this biomass pellet machine equipment is that no additives added in the production process, the process is simple and easy to operate, and the finished product not polluted during the combustion process. ...

Closing the door on building new coal-fired power plants in America
Community opposition, legal challenges, and financial uncertainty over future carbon costs are prompting companies to rethink their plans for coal. Since the beginning of 2007, 95 proposed coal-fired power plants have been cancelled or postponed in the United States--59 in 2007, 24 in 2008, and at least 12 in the first three months of 2009. This covers nearly half of the 200 or so U.S. coal-fired ...

4 common types of exhaust pollution
At present, the four most common sources of waste gas pollution in life are industrial waste gas pollution, traffic tail gas pollution, garbage waste gas pollution, and domestic waste gas pollution. Among them, the impact of industrial waste gas pollution on the environment is very serious, mainly because the speed of industrial development is getting faster and faster, there are more and more ...

Coal and its future are fueling conflicts around the globe
"Coal Wars: The Future of Energy and the Fate of the Planet" (Palgrave Macmillan), by Richard Martin Fierce conflicts over coal are taking place around the globe, but author Richard Martin says the decline and ultimate demise of the fuel that powered the Industrial Revolution is inevitable and cannot be reversed. What he cannot predict, he says, is whether the transition to energy sources that ...
