Скачать или смотреть The Climate Paradox - Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station

Recently Mumbai surpassed the air pollution level of Delhi's. Let me tell you the story of my town because the mainstream media won't.

In 2020 alone, operations at the plant, which is Maharashtra’s largest in terms of installed capacity, resulted in emissions of 4,724 tonnes of particulate matter, 1,03,010 tons of sulphur dioxide (SO2), 28,417 tons of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and 1,322 kgs of mercury, a report by Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) finds.

Correction : The thermal power plant capacity is ~3000MW and not 300MW as mentioned in the video.

P.S : The cement silo like chimneys prominently visible are cooling towers releasing water vapor, though the remaining tall but slender chimneys release CO2 and other polluting gases.
