ESTIMATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM POWER INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES
The PURPOSE of this paper is to show the effect of power industry on the emissions of greenhouse gases from thermal power plants (TPP) and to identify the actions directed at the reduction of greenhouse gases formation on the example of PJSC «Irkutskenergo». METHODS. The use of the Kyoto Protocol allows to attract additional financial resources to the implementation of the projects aimed at the improvement of energy production and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. To evaluate the effect of the type of fuel burned on the thermal power plants of PJSC «Irkutskenergo» on the emissions of greenhouse gases the study employs technical tips on the calculation of total emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from the boilers of thermal power plants and boiler installations. RESULTS AND THEIR DISCUSSION. The results of the implementation of projects aimed at obtaining the income from the sale of reduced emission units in PJSC «Irkutskenergo» are presented in compliance with the Kyoto Protocol. CONCLUSION. Performed calculations allow to introduce some changes to the structure of PJSC «Irkutskenergo» fuel balance that will decrease the emissions of greenhouse gases.
