Abstract
The generation of utilizable forms of energy, mainly electricity and heat, carries
an environmental impact – as does any human industrial activity.
In the case of
the power industry based on fossil fuels, this impact is connected with the emission
of technological by-products, not necessarily of a material character.
It is obvious
that the Polish point of view on this problem is connected with the unique degree
of dependence of the national power industry on coal.
Two aspects of the emission
reduction problem are analyzed in this article: the technological, connected with
the permanent development of flue-gas cleaning; and the administrative, connected
with limiting the permissible polluter concentration in flue g
