The proponent of a 164 MW Coal-fired power plant in Brgy. Ingore, La Paz reiterated that the proposed power plant would not be a threat to the environment and the people's health as it will use clean coal technology.
Global Business Power Corporation (GBPC) issued the statement amidst the issues raised by the five governors of Western Visayas on the proposed coal-fired power plant.
GBPC said the power plant will be utilizing state-of-the-art equipment to (1) ensure optimal combustion or burning of the coal, (2) capture dust particles after the burning of the coal so the particles are not emitted to the atmosphere, (3) ensure proper treatment of waste water before it is discharged to the sea, (4) prevent coal dust pollution through covered coal handling system, (5) minimize noise through noise-insulated buildings, and (5) ensure continuous, real-time monitoring system to ensure compliance with all pertinent environmental laws and regulations.
All these systems are intended precisely to help protect the environment and public health, GBPC said.
It added, the same Clean Coal Technology is widely used in many countries, with locations in populated areas.
In the Philippines, there are more than 3,800 MW of coal-fired power plants located in the provinces of Cebu, Pangasinan, Batangas, Quezon, Zambales, Bulacan, Pampanga and Misamis Oriental.
More coal-fired power plants are being planned as coal fired power generation is a stable and competitive source of electricity, with proven technology and track record in mitigating any adverse effect on the environment and public health, GBPC said.
