Abstract (AI)
Greenhouse gas emission is increasing alarmingly due to bulk electricity generation from fossil fuel such as coal, gas and oil with its limited stock. While researchers are struggling to minimize the emission using suitable mitigation techniques including renewable energy sources, the Government of Bangladesh is implementing several Coal based power plants. This paper presents mathematical model of parameters related to Greenhouse gas emission and demonstrates its emission rates resulting from various fuels used in Bangladeshi power plants. The Greenhouse gas emission from the existing fossil fuel power plants using HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) software is analyzed in this research. The result shows that power plants of coal, diesel and natural gas emit 0.90 kg, 0.76 kg and 0.566 kg of CO2 per kWh, respectively. Furthermore, several Greenhouse gas mitigating procedures are proposed for fossil fuel-based power generating stations.
Key Findings
1
Coal-fired plants emit the most CO2 at 0.90 kg/kWh, followed by diesel at 0.76 kg/kWh and natural gas at 0.566 kg/kWh.
2
HOMER-based analysis evaluates greenhouse-gas emissions from existing coal-, diesel-, and natural-gas-fired power plants in Bangladesh.
3
The findings highlight environmental concerns associated with Bangladesh’s planned expansion of coal-based electricity generation.
4
The paper proposes several mitigation procedures for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions from fossil-fuel-based generating stations.
5
The study develops mathematical models to estimate greenhouse-gas emissions associated with fuels used in Bangladeshi fossil-fuel power plants.
