Abstract

The paper examines the possibility of reducing specific emissions of carbon dioxide on thermal power plants by selecting the composition of coal fuel (30 grades of coals available in Russia were selected). For this purpose, variant optimization calculations were carried out using a mathematical model of a coal power plant with a capacity of 640 MW. The results of the calculations make it possible to determine technically achievable and economically justified emission levels, as well as to estimate the costs of their reduction.
