... with dirty coal power plants!
Eleven of the EU over thirty dirtiest power plants are German energy companies. The news agency Reuters reported, following an assessment of emission figures from the European Commission. But these eleven plants were expelled in 2008, 165.9 million tons of carbon dioxide (slightly less than those determined for 2007, 172.7 million tons).
The largest CO2 polluter of the EU is therefore a Polish power plant Belchatow. Alone, there were 30.9 million tons of air expelled Gifts - caused quite as much as Croatia and nine percent more than last year. The filthiest German coal power plant, RWE's plant in Niederaußem (NRW), came to 24.9 million tonnes. According to Reuters RWE has only four of the seven dirtiest power plants in the EU.
The data suggests that the European carbon dioxide emissions of heavy industry in 2008 by four to five per cent has fallen. Experts attribute this to the economic crisis, because of the many farms, production was cut back, but even that is in power plants, dirty coal increasingly replaced by the relatively clean natural gas.
