According to EU data, the current average efficiency of coal-fired thermal power worldwide is 30%. At this thermal efficiency, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted for each kilowatt hour of electricity produced is 1,160 g/kWh. .
But that was many years ago. China's thermal technology was quite powerful, and now it has been reduced by about 0.7 kilograms.
Thermal energy, whether it is a steam turbine burning coal or a gas turbine burning gas, is burned and produces carbon dioxide.
Nuclear power uses the heat generated by decay to operate a steam turbine. There is no combustion or carbon dioxide, but there is nuclear fuel waste.
Wind energy uses the mechanical energy of air movement (wind) to convert it into electrical energy. It is less polluting, without combustion and without carbon dioxide.carbon.
The energy of the water is transformed into dam potential energy, and there is no combustion or carbon dioxide.
