General comment Electricity for thermal power is generated by thermal power plants using fuels such as oil, liquid natural gas (LNG), coal, and other substances. These plants burn fuels to create steam power that rotates generators, producing electricity. Thermal power generation is crucial for electricity supply due to its adaptability, reliability, availability, and economy of scale. Despite coal plants being phased out due to emissions, natural gas and biomass plants are on the rise. |
