Abstract

Mankind needs energy, and the demand for it is increasing every year. However, the reserves of traditional natural fuels (oil, coal, gas, etc.) are finite. There are two ways left: resource saving and the use of nontraditional renewable energy sources. Energy is one of the main air pollutants. Power plants using traditional fuels contribute up to 30 per cent of harmful atmospheric emissions, pollute land and water with combustion products and wastewater. The gases emitted are largely associated with the greenhouse effect, the catastrophic consequences of which the world community is trying to prevent through the mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol.
