Rejects the allegations that the coal-based power plant would adversely affect the world's largest mangrove forest.
The controversy over the power plant and its impact on the Sundarbans was "not based on facts."
The plant will not negatively affect the mangrove forest because the emission of green house gas will be kept at the minimum level
Importing high quality coal, build a 275-meter high chimney.
The water running through it works as a supercritical fluid.
Critical point under high pressures and temperatures, specifically at 22 MPs and 374oC.
Efficiencies can reach around 44%
