Translation of "Fossile kraftwerke" in English

New fossil-fuel power stations, especially coal, are popping up worldwide.

At the same time, we cannot go without fossil fuel power plants altogether in the future.

However, this does not mean conventional power plants could simply be shut down.

In the short and medium term, conventional, fossil-fired power plants will even out fluctuations in renewable power generation.

This means that electricity can be provided on demand, without the need to have fossil fuel power stations on standby.

In this regard, account must naturally be taken of the fact that the closure of nuclear power stations in various countries also leads to economic problems, affects energy provision, energy prices and export opportunities, and can obviously also lead to environmental problems if fossil-fuel power stations that are old and in poor condition are used.

In the case of carbon capture and storage, the list should be largely established on the basis of information gathered from stakeholders in the framework of the Fossil Fuel Forum, the Zero Emissions Fossil Fuel Power Plants Technology Platform and other sources.

Another use is in ‘cost-benefit analysis’, where the health benefits of a given management measure (for instance, a new clean technology for fossil-fuel power plants) are compared with the costs.

Through the “Thermochemical energy storage unit for thermal power plants and industrial heat” project (TcET), researchers at TU Munich hope to increase the flexibility of fossil fuel power plants.

This is particularly in view of the fact that, in Germany, fossil fuel power plants such as coal- and gas-fired stations are increasingly due to be replaced with renewable energy sources.

Fossil-fired power plants are often described as bridge technologies, which can replace old plants and compensate green electricity supplies.

As long as the reserves of coal and natural gas are available around the world at low prices, the percentage of electricity produced by fossil-fired power plants will increase rather than decrease.

Furthermore, it was the third consecutive year in which global investment in renewable energy sources (RES) exceeded that in fossil fuels.

Due to the increasing share of renewable energy production and the necessity to reduce CO2 emissions, fossil fuel power plants face new challenges.

Although many renewable energies have emerged around the world, to date we have shut down hardly any fossil fuel power plants.

The fund will primarily focus on renewable energy projects that generate energy with typically lower pollutant and climate-relevant emissions than conventional fossil fuel-based power plants.

So what use is green electricity to us if fossil fuel and nuclear power plants continue to emit harmful gases or produce radioactive waste, thereby risking the health of humans and nature?

The sources can comprise fossil fuel power plants or else regenerative energy generation plants in the form of wind farms photovoltaic systems or the like, for example.

Other major sources are fossil-fuel fired power plants, industry, biomass combustion and motor vehicles.

As an original equipment manufacturer of rubber and steel expansion joints, we supply all industries such as fossil fuel and nuclear power stations and process plants as well as their ancillary industries such as pipeline constructors and systems suppliers of complete assemblies.

German electricity giants have recently taken high-level decisions to remove selected fossil fuel operations from their company portfolio.

A significant expansion of the facilities for generating renewable power will gradually replace fossil fuels and nuclear power.

Deforestation as well as intensive farming and pastoral agriculture – human land use is equally contributing to climate change as fossil power plants and internal combustion engines (source: Markus Breig/KIT)

The aim is to also use hydrogen in large gas power plants to produce energy and thus replace fossil and nuclear power plants.

Falling prices for CSP plants are now bringing the performance to the point of presenting a serious competitor to conventional fossil and nuclear power plants.

Fossil-fired power plants are often described as bridge technologies, which can replace old plants and compensate green electricity supplies.

This has also been recognised by President Obama, one of the most important aspects of his current climate action plan being that it provides for tighter environmental standards for fossil-fuel power plants.

Exploring the life cycle emissions of future low-carbon supply systems and the implications for technology choices, they found that fossil power plants equipped with CCS will still account for life-cycle emissions of around 100 grams of CO 2 -equivalents per kWh of electricity produced, ten times more than the around 10 grams of CO 2 -equivalents for wind and solar power they project for 2050 in a climate protection scenario in which power production is almost completely decarbonized.
