India changing into world's best SO2 emitting international locations; 33 million live in spaces with SO2 pollution. International researches which contradict the various claims of power officers that India doesn't need FGD as its coal 'has low sulphur content material'
1. Sulphur dioxide and primary carbonaceous aerosol emissions in China and India, 1996—2010 by way of Argonne National Laboratory and Tsinghua University, Beijing published on September 23, 2011
Findings
* SO2 in India displays a continuously expanding trend, which reflects fast financial and social development pushed by way of rising fossil-fuel use and somewhat lax emission controls
* In India, power crops are the primary assets of SO2 — contributing 49 % in 1996 and 59 % in 2010 to the whole emissions
— To motivate using FGD apparatus, the Chinese government has taken a number of measures since 2007 which has helped in decreasing SO2 emissions
2. India Is Overtaking China because the World's Largest Emitter of Anthropogenic Sulphur Dioxide by way of University of Maryland and Nasa published on November nine, 2017
Findings:
* Since 2007, emissions in China have declined by way of 75% whilst those in India have higher by way of 50%.
* With those changes, India is now surpassing China as the sector's greatest emitter of anthropogenic SO2.
* In India, 33 million people now live in spaces with really extensive SO2pollution. Continued expansion in emissions will adversely impact more people and extra exacerbate morbidity and mortality.
* As demand for electricity grows, India is changing into, if it's not already, the sector's best SO2 emitting nation.
three. Ozone Monitoring Instrument Observations of Interannual Increases in SO2 Emissions from Indian Coal-Fired Power Plants all the way through 2005—2012 by way of Nasa, Saint Louis University published on November 25, 2013
Findings:
* Due to the fast expansion of electricity demand and the absence of rules, sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions from coal-fired power crops in India have higher notably up to now decade.
* SO2 emissions higher dramatically by way of 71% all the way through 2005-2012.
* Contrary to the experiences by way of Indian government, SO2 concentrations in coal-fired power plant areas higher by way of 60% all the way through 2005-2012, implying that the air high quality monitoring network in India is not reflecting the true scenario.
PRICE OF POLLUTION
* Thermal power crops new closing date for adopting air pollution norms
* CPCB extends closing date for putting in FGD, provides different dates for different devices
* In KTPS, closing date for setting-up FGD in unit 10 is December 2020, for devices eight,nine it is March 2021
* As in step with the environmental clearance issued by way of MoEFCC to KTPS on January 4, 2010, Mahagenco was once to install FGD for the new devices eight, nine and 10 by way of December 2017
* Estimated cost of FGD — Rs50 lakhs in step with megawatt. For one unit of 660MW, FGD will cost round Rs330 crores
* Power tariff for consumers will cross up 35 paise in step with unit
* Mahagenco has to install FGD in about 30 devices of its seven crops in the state
* A flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) is a era used to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions
