Methodology for assessing the environmental characteristics of various methods of generating electricity

Abstract

The article considers the energy efficiency of energy production from various types of fuel. The analysis of the negative impact of the use of various types of fuel on the environment. The most significant indicators for assessing the environmental efficiency of the use of fuel for electricity production are established. A comparison is made with the performance indicators that are currently used. The advantages and disadvantages are established. The necessity of developing a more effective methodology for assessing environmental performance is substantiated. A new methodology for assessing the environmental efficiency of using various methods for the production of electricity is proposed. Research results are presented.

Public-private partnership as a mechanism for the development of heat supply

“…This would ensure optimal financing of heat supply. [8][9][10] When mini-TPPs are launched, the undersupply of electricity to consumers will decrease by 15.34 million kW•h/ year or 12% due to increased reliability of the power supply. According to the methodological recommendations for the design of the development of power systems, developed by JSC "Institute" Energosetproekt ", the specific damage will be 50-150 r/ kW•h.…”

Study of the impact of recultivated granite stone quarry dumps on the environment and agricultural land in the Leningrad region

“…Because of the need to increase mining for industrial needs, one of the factors of this impact is the excavation of rocks from quarries and the storage of them and waste in dumps. Open mining of raw materials leads to the formation of dumps of overburden (waste) rocks, covering the minerals [33]. Without properly organized reclamation, such dumps are almost never overgrown with vegetation and are a source of environmental pollution.…”

Monitoring of soil pollution caused by industrial enterprises in one of the districts of St. Petersburg

“…The development of technological progress has led to an increase in the load on the technosphere of the planet [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Negative processes affect various components of the environment (air, water, green spaces and soils) [2,3,6,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Negative processes affect various components of the environment (air, water, green spaces and soils) [2,3,6,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The sharp reduction of forests and green areas has led to a decrease in the ability to process emissions of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances [1,3,8,9,[16][17][18][19].…”

“…Negative processes affect various components of the environment (air, water, green spaces and soils) [2,3,6,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The sharp reduction of forests and green areas has led to a decrease in the ability to process emissions of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances [1,3,8,9,[16][17][18][19]. The development of large cities with extensive industrial areas reinforces this trend [7,17,[20][21][22][23].…”
