Thermal Power Plants
Thermal power plants generate electricity by converting heat energy into electrical energy. They typically burn fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators. The process involves heating water in a boiler, creating steam that spins the turbines, and then cooling the steam back into water for reuse.
These plants are a significant source of electricity worldwide, but they also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. To mitigate environmental impacts, some facilities are exploring cleaner technologies, such as using renewable energy sources or implementing carbon capture systems to reduce their carbon footprint.
