Thermal Power Production

Thermal power plants remain one of the largest sources of global electricity generation, powering industries, homes, and essential infrastructure. However, they are also responsible for a significant share of global CO₂ emissions due to their reliance on fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil. Key challenges include:

  • High CO₂ Emissions: Combustion of fossil fuels releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

  • Environmental Regulations: Stricter emission standards require power plants to adopt advanced technologies to meet sustainability goals.

  • Rising Operational Costs: Carbon taxes and emission penalties increase the financial burden on power producers.

As global energy demand rises and net-zero targets become more urgent, thermal power producers must adopt innovative carbon capture technologies to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining operational efficiency.

Coal-fired plants emit approximately 1,001 grams of CO₂ per kilowatt-hour

Tree Associates' cutting-edge carbon capture technology is specifically designed to address the challenges faced by thermal power plants. By integrating advanced CO₂ capture systems, our technology can effectively capture over 99% of carbon emissions directly from flue gas, converting them into a liquid state for sequestration or reuse. Key Features of Tree Associates' Carbon Capture Technology:
