fossil-fuel power station

As others have noted if the electricity is coming from a fossil-fuel power station, there's little if any benefit anyhow.

Today, the term, coaling station, can also refer to coal storage and feeding units in fossil-fuel power stations.

EVs will take advantage of whatever environmental gains happen when a renewable energy generation station comes online, a fossil-fuel power station is decommissioned or upgraded.

As well as fossil-fuel power stations, the directive applies to other large thermal plant, such as steelworks and petroleum refineries.

Charging stations are usually connected to the electrical grid, which often means that their electricity originates from fossil-fuel power stations or nuclear power plants.

Fossil-fuel power stations may also use a steam turbine generator or in the case of natural gas-fired plants may use a combustion turbine.

The 2 power stations in the scheme will cut back carbon dioxide emissions by 33000 tons per year by reducing the demand for traditional fossil-fuel power stations.

In flue-gas desulfurization, exhaust gases from fossil-fuel power stations and other processes (e.g. cement manufacture) are scrubbed to reduce their sulfur oxide content, by injecting finely ground limestone or lime.

The plant was constructed near Cape Town to be the sole provider of power in the Western Cape after fossil-fuel power stations were deemed too small and too expensive to be viable.

ActewAGL hydro - While most hydro-electric developments require the building of dams and lakes, ActewAGL's mini-hydro uses an existing water supply to provide electricity that would otherwise come from fossil-fuel power stations.

Nuclear power was considered because it was more economical than transporting coal to the existing fossil-fuel power stations; and construction of new fossil-fuel power-stations, which would have required 300 m tall chimneys to comply with clean-air legislation.

A CANDU power plant generates power in the same fashion as a fossil-fuel power station; heat is generated by "burning" fuel, and that heat is used to drive a steam turbine, normally located in a separate "power hall".

In this regard, account must naturally be taken of the fact that the closure of nuclear power stations in various countries also leads to economic problems, affects energy provision, energy prices and export opportunities, and can obviously also lead to environmental problems if fossil-fuel power stations that are old and in poor condition are used.
