Centrale électrique

Une centrale électrique est un site industriel destiné à la production d'électricité. Les centrales électriques alimentent en électricité, au moyen du réseau électrique, les consommateurs, particuliers ou industriels éloignés de la centrale. La production d'électricité y est assurée par la conversion en énergie électrique d'une énergie primaire qui peut être soit mécanique (force du vent, force de l'eau des rivières, des marées...), soit chimique (réactions d'oxydoréduction avec des combustibles, fossiles ou non, tels que la biomasse), soit nucléaire, soit solaire.

Vehicle emission standard

Emission standards are the legal requirements governing air pollutants released into the atmosphere. Emission standards set quantitative limits on the permissible amount of specific air pollutants that may be released from specific sources over specific timeframes. They are generally designed to achieve air quality standards and to protect human life. Different regions and countries have different standards for vehicle emissions. Many emissions standards focus on regulating pollutants released by automobiles (motor cars) and other powered vehicles.

Coal-fired power station

A coal-fired power station or coal power plant is a thermal power station which burns coal to generate electricity. Worldwide there are over 2,400 coal-fired power stations, totaling over 2,000 gigawatts capacity. They generate about a third of the world's electricity, but cause many illnesses and the most early deaths, mainly from air pollution. A coal-fired power station is a type of fossil fuel power station. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.
