150,000 tonnes of coal for the EDF power plant

Publication date 09/12/2004 From €100.00

Coal-fired power plants

150,000 tons of coal from South Africa are being unloaded to feed the Le Havre thermal power plant which, with the arrival of winter, will become more greedy. Until the end of February, it will take about two boats of 150,000 tons of coal each month to "feed it". The interest of the Le Havre thermal power plant is to compensate for changes in consumption. Nuclear power plants have a near-constant production of electricity and, in winter, when consumption is exceeded, thermal energy manages the differences.

The modernization of the coal mines in Lorraine allows a higher efficiency. Mr Guy MOLLET in Lorraine on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Lorraine Coal Mines. Excerpt from Guy MOLLET’s speech: "...it is the nationalization of the coal mines...which, by allowing the necessary coordination and better use of resources, has led over the past 10 years to this magnificent expansion from the ruins of war; it has also led to this considerable development of the social programme [...] the workers of the mine have been, at the same time as the consumers, largely benefiting from this nationalization.

Pollution: EDF Vitry sur Seine power plant

Publication date 09/11/1995 From €100.00

Coal-fired power plants

Last Monday, the VITRY EDF thermal power plant was operating at full power: a situation that only happens a thousand hours in the year. The largest coal-fired power plant in the Paris region covers only 1% of Ile de France’s needs, but it can burn up to 300 tonnes of coal per hour to produce electricity. This causes polluting releases, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide, involved in recent alerts. Yet EDF denies that it is primarily responsible for these peaks and declares that it complies with the rejection standards. Interview with François MESLIER, director of EDF Energie IDF Est, on these discharges. The VITRY plant installed a device on one of its three boilers to reduce emissions by half. There are still two boilers to equip. The plant is far from being solely responsible for air pollution. District heating is heavily involved for sulphur dioxide and the automobile for nitrogen dioxide.

French coal mines: coal and electricity

Publication date 17/03/1949 From €100.00

Coal-fired power plants

Report on the construction and modernization of thermal power plants in France as part of the increase in energy needs. In order to complement the production of hydroelectric power plants, between 1938 and 1949 the territory developed and modernized its thermal infrastructure to meet the growing demand for electricity. Sixteen coal-fired power stations were built, notably in the Nord Pas de Calais basin and the old sites were modernised and retrofitted. The production of electricity from mining sources is expected to increase threefold in ten years. Sequences and aerial views show factories, smoked chimneys, hydraulic dams and machinery.

How a coal-fired power plant works

Publication date 07/02/2012 From €100.00

Coal-fired power plants

Report. In Saint Avold en Moselle, the coal-fired power plant has been operating exceptionally night and day for a week due to the country’s high demand for electricity. The report shows how difficult it is to operate this plant in cold weather. On the scene, the journalist explains that such a power plant is more reactive than a nuclear power plant because it only takes four hours to run at full capacity. These plants are more polluting only in times of high electricity consumption. These days they have produced 5% of the demand. A comment on factual images alternates with the interview of the director of the power station Germain GRANDJEAN. [Source: France 2 prompter] Thank you Luc for this information... So we heard it a moment ago, in these times of high consumption, nuclear power and hydraulics are not enough... France also uses good old coal plants... How do these plants work? Feature: Perrine BONNET, Vivien ROUSSEL
