fired power station will be a "veritable carbon dioxide factory". This is incorrect. The construction of the new station will reduce COs2] emissions as its introduction will be balanced by the closure of old units. The combustion efficiency of Europeat will be 36 to 39 per cent, compared with 19 to 20 per cent in the old units being closed.
CO2 emissions from peat used for energy will fall 39 per cent from 1990 levels by 2010. CO2 emissions from electricity stations generating from peat will fall 17 per cent from 1990 levels by 2010. Yours, etc.,
