Many of us depend on a reliable and constant electricity supply. Electricity accounts for 13.8 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year. Find out how Simcenter is helping engineer a low-carbon future with reliable and sustainable electricity for all.
Measured in emissions of CO2 equivalents per gigawatt-hour of electricity over the lifecycle of the power plant. 1 gigawatt-hour is the annual electricity consumption of 160 people in the EU.
Energy source | Air pollution per terawatt-hour (TWh) of electricity |
|---|---|
Brown coal | 32.72 |
Coal | 24.62 |
Oil | 18.43 |
Biomass | 4.63 |
