COAL AND ENERGY SCENARIO IN INDIA
Coal, oil, gas and hydroelectric potential constitute
the conventional sources of electricity
generation. Total installed capacity of electricity
generation in India is approx. 98,668 MW.

EMISSION STANDARDS FOR
THERMAL POWER PLANTS
Depending upon the requirement of local situations, which may warrant stricter
standards as in case of protected areas the State Pollution Control Board within the
provisions of the Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, may be prescribed limit of
150 mg/Nm3 irrespective of the generation capacity of the plant
STACK HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
For the proper dispersion of SO2 emission from thermal
power plant, stack height criteria have been adopted in
country. However, for larger capacities boilers (500MW
and above) space provision for installing FGD system has
been recommended.
Power generation Stack Height (mts.)
capacity
Less than 200/210 MW H = 14 (Q) 0.3 , where Q is
emission rate of SO2 in kg/hr,
H= Stack Height

Status of Pollution Control in Thermal
Power Plants in India
Total number of power plants : 81
Air Pollution
• Power plants complying with emission : 43
standards
• Power plants not complying with emission : 35
standards
• Power plants closed : 03
Water Pollution
• Power plants complying with ash pond : 49
Effluent standards
• Power plants not complying with ash pond : 29
Effluent standards
• Power plants closed : 03
REASONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE OF
ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS IN
THERMAL POWER PLANTS
Classification :
Power plants located beyond 1000 km from the pit head and
Power plants located in urban area or sensitive area or
critically polluted area irrespective of their distance from the
pit head except any pit headed power plants.
The power plants based on FBC (CFBC, PFBC & AFBC) and
IGCC technologies are exempted to use beneficiated coal
irrespective of their locations.
ADVANTAGES OF BENEFICIATED COAL
Implementation of use of beneficiated coal in
thermal power plant w.r.t. June 30, 2002, shall
yield following benefits during 2002-03:
Reduction in tonnage (MT) 11
Saving in transport cost (US M$) 240
Saving in Diesel consumption (KL) 63750
Reduction in Bottom Ash (MT) 2
Reduction in Fly Ash (MT) 8
Reduction in CO2 (MT) 23
