Gas Power Plants Accounted for the Largest Proportion in 2023
Improvements over the Years
TPC thermal power plants made significant progresses by executing their air quality control system retrofit project, air pollutants emission density (kg/MWh) has been decreasing year by year.
The Figures in Improvement of the Particulate Matter from Thermal Power Plants
The Figures in Improvement of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Emission from Thermal Power Plants
The Figures in Improvement of the Sulfur Oxides (SOx) Emission from Thermal Power Plants
The Figures in Improvement of the air pollutants Emission from Thermal Power Plants
Note：
- Air pollutants is an internal statistics, including Chienshan , Tashan and Zhushan Thermal Power Plants.
- Air pollutants emission density(kg/MWh) calculates by NO2.
The Concentration of the Air Pollutant Emission from Thermal Power Plants
The Thermal Power Plants in Taiwan
The concentration of the air pollutants emission from all TPC thermal power plants are measured up the government and local environmental criteria.
The Comparison between the Air Pollutants Emission Standards and the 2023 Annual Average Concentrations of Coal-Fired Power Plants
Note:
- The red lines represent the standards.
- According the Air Pollutant Control Act, the sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from the coal-fired power plants are required to be regulated. And the criteria are different from the time of establishment and the amount of the emission.
The Comparison between the Air Pollutants Emission Standard and the 2023 Annual Average Concentration of Gas-Fired Power Plants
Note:
- The red lines represent the standards .
- According the Air Pollutant Control Act, the main pollutants resulting from the gas-fired power plant are nitrogen oxides. And the criteria are different from the time of establishment and the amount of the emission.
The Comparison between the Air Pollutants Emission Standard and 2023 Annual Average Concentration of Oil-Fired Power Plant
Note:
- The red lines represent the standards.
- According the Air Pollutant Control Act, the sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from the oil-fired power plants are required to be regulated.
The Comparison between the Air Pollutants Emission Standard and the 2023 Annual Average Concentration of Offshore Island Oil-Fired Power Plant
Note:
- These are the main oil-fired power plants on the offshore islands
- The red lines represent the standards.
- According the Air Pollutant Control Act, the sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from the oil-fired power plants are required to be regulated. And the criteria are different from the time of establishment and the amount of the emission.
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Results (Nearby Power Plant Area)
Principles for Setting up Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations
Based on the results of the air pollution emission simulation of thermal power plants in the environmental impact assessment report, Taiwan Power Company (TPC) makes plans for setting the location and number of stations of the "Air Quality Monitoring Stations" in the most environmentally impacted or sensitive areas, which are different from that the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) does based upon population distribution, traffic, industrial areas, meteorological conditions and other factors. The monitoring data of the "Air Quality Monitoring Stations" that has been set up in TPC's thermal power plants are as follows:
