The Impact of Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction in Thermal Power Plants
Keywords:
CEMS, Gas Emission, Thermal Power PlantsAbstract
Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are technologies applied to monitor emissions in real-time and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. This research aims to analyze the results of CEMS implementation in reducing greenhouse gas emissions at thermal power plants. The study examines various policies and regulations governing the use of CEMS in several countries and compares the outcomes of their implementation. The analysis shows that the consistent application of CEMS improves operational efficiency and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 15-30% across various study locations. Factors such as strict regulations, appropriate technology, and adequate operational training are key to the successful implementation of CEMS. Therefore, the implementation of CEMS not only helps in complying with environmental regulations but also significantly contributes to global efforts to mitigate the impact of climate change. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and related industries to adopt this technology more broadly.
