After the thermal power plant Kostolac B, Serbia now also has a desulfurization system in TPP Nikola Tesla A. The contractor, Mitsubishi Power, plans to complete such a facility in TENT B by the end of 2024. Then an overall 90% of the Serbian coal power output would include desulfurization.

From today, Serbia’s energy system can pride itself on a thermal power plant with environmental standards in line with modern thermal power plants anywhere in Europe, Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Đedović Handanović said. The desulfurization system in TENT A is worth EUR 215 million, she stated at the commissioning ceremony in the town of Obrenovac.

Sulfur dioxide emissions will be cut 30 times while the amount of released particle matter will be significantly lowered, the minister pointed out. It means that the citizens of Obrenovac, surrounding villages and the capital city of Belgrade will breathe considerably cleaner air, she asserted.

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) financed the construction. Desulfurization was introduced for the production at units A3 to A6, with two absorbers, Balkan Green Energy News reported.
