Questions&Answers. How does generating electricity affect the environment?

Electricity generation is growing year by year along with the number of electric motors used worldwide.
On the one hand, it is good, because electric motors in operation do not emit harmful substances into the environment, unlike internal combustion engines.

On the other hand, emissions of carbon dioxide and other wastes to the atmosphere, soil, and water are concentrated around power plants. The most serious environmental damage is caused by thermal power plants that work by burning coal or petroleum products.

At the same time, the efficiency of these power systems is low. As Dmitriy Duyunov noted, "the efficiency of the power system is now lower than that of a steam locomotive." The best way to reduce harmful emissions is to increase the energy efficiency of electric motors.

A few years ago, with the assistance of Dmitriy Duyunov, an article written by an expert in the field of energy efficiency was published in the journal "PROtechnologies" that provided calculations of how much the level of electricity consumption would decrease with the general modernization of electric motors in Moscow. According to the data, energy-efficient motors with "Slavyanka" would save so much energy that thermal power plants would not be needed!

It is easy to imagine how the planet's environment will benefit from the absence of emissions produced by thermal power plants. The coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated this: a lot of businesses around the world have suspended their operation, energy consumption and production have declined — and the air in cities has immediately been cleared of smog to a significant degree that is noticeable even on Earth pictures from space.

It is obvious that the problem of excessive electricity consumption and saving the planet's environment is now the most acute issue for humanity. The project "Duyunov's motors" and "SovElMash" offer an innovative solution represented by the "Slavyanka" technology.
