We are aware of our responsibility in preventing
climate changes and therefore do our best to substantially reduce CO2emissions. Gas units with a total power of 84 MW were put into operation in
2008. The efficiency of existing large blocks improved by using heat from the
exhaust gases of the turbines and consequently reducing CO2 emission
per unit of produced electricity. The
planned block 6 will emit approximately 0.85 kg of CO2 into the air,
whereas the emission in existing devices is around 1.2 kg. Thus the emissions
of this gas have been considerably reduced for the first time in the history of
operations of the power plant, reflecting a responsible attitude towards the
local and wider environments. Although TEŠ is the largest thermal power
generation plant in Slovenia using fossil fuel, it has obtained the status of a
qualified producer for the co-incineration of wood biomass, again contributing
to the reduction in CO2 emissions.
