Abstract

The power generation sector is considered one of the major contributors to nitrogen oxides (NO_x) emissions which have serious impacts on air quality. An optimization model is developed to help decision-makers determine the best strategy or mix of strategies for the electricity sector to meet a given NO_x reduction target and electricity demand at a minimum cost. The model recommended the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to be applied at higher NO_x emissions and the reduction reached up to 80 %. This potential option provides promising prospects for NO_x emissions control, which is in line with the economic demand for sustainable energy and environmentally friendly technologies.
