Power plants may not need to install Sulphur removing gear as study shows emissions are not impacting air quality
flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) units at public sector coal-based power plants as a recent study found that sulphur dioxide emissions from Indian coal-based power plants were not adversely impacting ambient air quality.
Niti Aayog, the government's premier think-tank, has held stakeholder consultations in this regard and is likely to recommend this in its final report by month end, officials said.
The Aayog had made such a suggestion in a draft report, after which intensive consultations were carried out before firming up the view, they said.
«There is no advantage in installing FGD in Indian coal-based low sulphur thermal power plants. This will only increase power generation cost,» an official aware of the contents of NITI's draft report told ET.
FGD technique removes hazardous sulphur dioxide (SO2) from the exhaust of fossil fuel-burning power plants.
