MODERN TECHNOLOGIES FOR REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS CAUSED BY POWER PLANTS

This article analyzes the negative impact of power plants on the environment, particularly the ecological consequences of harmful pollutant emissions and greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Modern technologies aimed at reducing the amounts of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide generated during electricity generation are studied. During the research, electrostatic precipitators, scrubbers, selective catalytic reduction systems, carbon capture and storage technologies, digital monitoring systems, and the environmental advantages of renewable energy sources were analyzed. The results demonstrate that innovative technologies play a crucial role in ensuring environmental safety and achieving sustainable development in power generation.
