The Northside Generating Station
With new, "circulating fluidized
bed combustors," it is now one of
the cleanest CFPPs in the world.

Coal-Fired Power Plants produce electricity by burning coal and heating water in a boiler to produce steam. The steam, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine,
which spins a generator to produce electricity. An efficient plant can generate about 10
billion kilowatt-hours a year, or enough electricity to supply 700,000 homes. Using this example,
the plant would burn about 14,000 tons of coal a day, an amount that would fill 140 railroad cars. Read More
Mercury
Although coal plants are one of the largest “man-made”
sources of mercury emissions, we are making significant progress in developing technologies that will reduce mercury emissions.
By 2018, mercury emission levels from coal-fired power
plants will be reduced to 26 tons, a reduction of almost 70 percent of 1999 levels. We are making a difference. Read More
