“…FGD and ESP are adequate to reduce SOx and PM emissions, respectively, and the implementation of these technologies brings both emissions within limits set by NEQS. It is important to note that the production cost including emission reduction charges is still less than that of an oil-fired plant which lies in the range of US $ 12.5 Cents/kWh [2]. Therefore, it is clear that the proposed implementation of emission reduction technologies will not change the merit order of coal on supply curve with respect to other fuels like oil and gas.…”

New proposed coal-fuelled power plants can significantly increase the power generation capacity of Pakistan but in the absence of emission reduction technology such generators cause pollution in the surrounding environment. An approach has been developed to meet national environmental quality standards for environmentally friendly operation of coal plants. Software developed for this article is shown to be an adequate tool for estimation of per kWh emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, carbon oxides, and particulate matter from coalfired power plants. The software also calculates and compares electricity production costs with and without emissions charges. Work presented in this article determines that although the proposed implementation of emission reduction technologies increases electricity production cost it does not change the merit order of coal on the supply curve.

“…Similar work has been done by Nagurney et al (2006) under carbon emission taxes. Imran et al (2009) simulated the impact of four carbon emission market scenarios on the operations of a 5-generators group, and concluded that 90% free allocation of carbon emission can be more efficient than other scenarios. Abadie et al (2011) examine the optimal timing of abandonment of a coalfired power plant using real options in a carbon constrained world, where the gas-fired power plants are considered as marginal units.…”
