Thermal Power Plants
Thermal power plants generate the majority of power in India, accounting for around 75% of total installed capacity. They work by burning fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil in a furnace to create steam that drives turbines connected to generators. While coal fired plants are most common, natural gas fired combined-cycle plants are more environmentally friendly with lower emissions. Thermal power generation produces air and water pollution that must be mitigated.
