ENERGY FOR

ELECTRICITY
 Thermal power stations can cause pollution in a different
ways. When fuels burn, they combine with oxygen in the air,
they are released by this chemical reaction:

fuel + oxygen
these are used up

burning

carbon dioxide + water + thermal energy

these waste gases are made
There may be other waste gases as well.
F.e., burning coal produces more sulfur
dioxide. Natural gas, which is mainly
methane, is the least polluting among the
fuels burned in power stations.
In a nuclear reactions produce no waste
gases. However, they do produce
radioactive waste
 POLLUTION PROBLEMS
1. 2.
Fuel-burning power stations
put extra carbon dioxide gas
into the atmosphere. This
traps the Sun's energy and is
adding to global warming.
Coal-burning power stations
emit almost twice the
amount of carbon dioxide
per kJ output compared with
those burning natural gas
Unless low-sulfur
coal is used, or
desulfurization units
are fitted, coal-
burning power
stations emit sulfur-
dioxide, which is
harmful to health
and causes acid rain
 POLLUTION PROBLEMS
3.
Transporting fuels can cause
pollution. For example, there
may be a leak from an oil
tanker

4.
The radioactive waste from
nuclear power stations is highly
dangerous. It must be carried away
and stored safely in sealed
containers for many years - in
some cases, thousands of years
Nuclear accidents are rare, but when they
occur, radioactive gas and dust can be
blown away thousands of kilometers by
winds
POWER FROM WATER
AND WIND
Some generators are working with moving water or wind

Advantages Disadvantages
have no fuel cost can be expencive to build
give off no polluting need large areas to land
gases
