1 Overview of environmental aspects of cogeneration 2004 Cogeneration Week in Thailand March 2004 Miracle Grand Convention Hotel, Bangkok Thomas Hernoe Environmental Expert
2 Environmental impacts All combustion processes causes various environmental impacts CO 2, CH 4 & N 2 O CO, NO X & NMVOC NO X and SO X CO Particulates Direct Greenhouse Gas Effect Indirect Greenhouse Gas Effect Acid rain Public health Public health
3 Emissions & reduction possibilities
4 Impact of local environment Emission of particles Waste water discharge Ash disposal Fuel transport Noise Impact is dependent on fuels & technology
5 Acid rain Rain becomes acidic because of NO x and SO 2 dissolve in the rain water to form acids SO 2 emissions are responsible for % of the global acid deposition Acid rain causes damage to lakes and rivers, trees, people & buildings Acid rain travels over long distances in clouds Solution: fuel switching, SO 2 scrubbers
6 Proven, Clean & Efficient Biomass, Coal, Gas Cogeneration Green House Gas effect (1) Earth is kept warm by its atmosphere Without atmosphere average surface temperature would be -18 deg. C Heat from sun passes through atmosphere, warming it up, and most of it warms surface of earth As earth warms up it emits heat as infra-red radiation. Some heat is trapped by atmosphere Green House Gases make the atmosphere trap more of radiation, so it gradually warms earth up more
7 Green House Gas effect (2) Consequences: Sea level rise and flooding in coastal areas Climate extremes and disaster Human health problems
8 CO 2 equivalent emission Green Houses Gases: Carbon Dioxide CO 2 Methane CH 4 Nitrous Oxide N 2 O Carbon Dioxide equivalent emission = Carbon Dioxide + Methane Carbon Dioxide eq. + Nitrous Oxide Carbon Dioxide eq.
9 GWP & CO 2 equivalent emission Gas Carbon Dioxide Methane Nitrous Oxide GWP (1996) Carbon Dioxide equivalent emission= 1 x Carbon Dioxide emission + 21 x Methane emission x Nitrous Oxide emission
10 Emissions for fuels Emission = Emission factor (kg / TJ) x Energy input (TJ) Usually the fuel amount is known in weight unit: Energy input (TJ) = Fuel amount ( 000 tonnes) x Heating value (TJ / ( 000 tonnes) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC) provides emission factors Biomass emissions: CO 2 emission by definition = 0
11 Change of emission Change in emission = Emission cogeneration supply of electricity & thermal energy Emission baseline supply of electricity & thermal energy
