The object of the study is energy facilities located in the coastal areas of Lake Baikal. The impact on the environment in this territory is of particular importance due to the natural uniqueness and special conditions for economic activity. The paper shows that coal-fired boiler houses are the main sources of impact on the environment. The total calculated emission from energy objects is 24.5 thousand t/year. In the composition of pollutants, particulate matter predominates. The total mass of ash and slag waste from energy objects is 79.8 thousand t/year. An analysis of the main environmental problems caused by the operation of the energy objects in the central ecological zone has allowed us to make a list of recommendations for their elimination. For large boilers houses, the main direction is the reconstruction and modernization of equipment, for small ones - the transition to alternative energy sources: natural gas and electricity. Under current conditions, the solution of the environmental problems in the energy sector is to sort the coal and substitute the boilers for highly efficient automated ones, which will improve the fuel combustion conditions and reduce its consumption.
the requirements of geoecology to energy, related to the need to preserve a productive natural environment for present and future generations of people, it is proposed to use the concept of -quality of life‖. Definitions of the basic concepts of geoecology, related to studies of the impact of energy on the geoecology of the region, are given. Examples of ontologies reflecting the main interrelationships of energy and geoecology are given. For clarity, ontologies are presented in a graphical form, executed using the toolkit CmapTools
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
