ESTIMATION OF THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE TRACE ELEMENT EMISSION FROM CONVENTIAL THERMAL POWER PLANTS IN EUROPE AND TURKEY WITHIN THE EMEP GRID

Abstract

In the report the spatial distribution of the trace element emission from conventional thermal power plants in Europe is estimated, using emission factors of trace metals from conventional power plants and data on net installed capacity of electricity generating plants in each country. Also data on type of fuel burned (emphazising the ash content in coal and the sulphur content in ail), data on stack dust cleaning installations and geographical position of the power plants have been used when available.
