Environmental protection measures in coal-fired power plants

• Energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product in Serbia is four times higher than in Central Europe.
• In terms of water and air pollution Serbia intends to implement European Union standards and reduce emissions from power plants.

• The Nikola Tesla A lignite power plant provides 25% of Serbia’s electricity supply.
• High emissions of harmful particles.

Ash disposal project in the Kostolac A power plant:

• Ashes from the Kostolac A power plant, which also uses lignite, are pumped into a landfill near the banks of the Danube using so-called thin sludge technology. They pollute the Danube water and groundwater.
• 60,000 people live near the landfill and suffer the consequences of air and water pollution.

Renovation and modernisation of the coal mills of the Nikola Tesla A power plant and replacement of the thin sludge technology by the thick sludge technology at the Kostolac power plant.

The coal mills project in the TENT A power plant:

• contributed to the improvement of the boiler output of the Nikola Tesla A power plant, which led to an increase in electricity production,
• significantly reduced emissions of CO₂, SO₂, NO_X and dust at the power plant,
• reduced the ash volumes of the power plant.

The ash disposal project at the Kostolac A power plant:

• will reduce the pollution of surface water and groundwater,
• is beneficial to the health of the population living near the power plant.
