Comparison of CO2 emissions fossil fuel based energy generation plants and plants with Renewable Energy Source

World has a rapid growing energy, especially electricity demand parallel with increasing population and developing industry. As a result of increase in electricity demand, electricity generation and associated CO₂ and C emissions are also increasing rapidly. Additionally, the consumed amount of energy indicates the development level of countries. For the reduction amount of CO2 and C emissions has been written a lot of article. In this study, for house necessary electrical equipment has collected where in a scenario. The annual need requirement energy detected for this house. According to this scenario, from six different power generation plants were measured CO2 emissions. And comparatively CO2 emissions were evaluated. The aim of this study, fossil energy sources is to show hazards on the environment and in the production of energy is to raise the awareness of people.

I. Introduction

Because of the population increase and the industrialization energy demand cannot be covered with a finite energy sources, difference between energy production and consumption is growing rapidly. On the other hand, traditional energy production methods today are seen as one of the major causes of environmental pollution. In addition, it is an unavoidable reality that fossil fuels will run out in time. As a result of industrial activities each year about 20 billion tons of carbon dioxide, 100 million tons of sulfur compounds, 2 million tons of lead and other toxic chemical compounds are released into the atmosphere [1].
