Апстракт:
There are many methods for the analysis of the negative impact of thermal power plants on the environment. In this paper will be presented a method Carbon footprint. Carbon footprint originated from the Ecological Footprint and independently developed. This method is one of the newer methods. By defining this method the goal is to raise the awareness of citizens about pollution. This method can be applied in other areas, not only in terms of the power plant. Carbon footprint is based on the definition of greenhouse gasses through carbon dioxide equivalent. From there the name of this method Carbon footprint. In this paper, is done research how the work of thermal power plants that use coal as fuel affect emissions. Was analyzed the operation of thermal power plants that use fossil fuels because in the Republic of Serbia the most electricity is obtained from these plants.
