Inefficient process in the thermal power station leads to greenhouse gas emission. Reductions in emissions are largely dependent on the improvement of efficiency, with lower fuel consumption as a 1% improvement in power station efficiency delivering an almost 3% reduction in CO2 emissions. Maximum CO2 reduction is also possible through the use of alternative fuels and CO2 capture. Therefore, there is a need for energy-efficient technology to improve power plants that are able to utilize alternative fuels and CO2 capture. ...
