Abstract
The presents a technoecological assessment of sulfur dioxide emissions from coal combustion in Western Ukraine, Lviv-Volyn, Dnipro and Donetsk basins. Calculations were made for a model thermal power plant (TPP) with a capacity of 2.5 GW and an efficiency of 40%. Based on balance ratios and taking into account the technological features of SO2 absorption during coal combustion, the annual emissions were calculated and it was established that the most technoecological coal in terms of SO2 emissions is coal from the Dnipro coal basin of the Novodniprovske deposit of the B1R brand and coal from the Donetsk basin of the ASSH brand.
