Abstract
Production of electricity and heat makes a significant contribution to environmental pollution. The article shows that key factors behind the negative impact of this type of activity on air quality are the power generation mix and the type of fuel used. In order to address environmental issues facing the Siberian regions it is necessary to expand the use of natural gas and introduce the best available technologies of coal combustion at existing thermal power plants in order to reduce emissions of the most hazardous pollutants.
