Waste Management in Thermal Power Plants

Abstract

Environmental pollution and clean energy is the main challenge faced by all over world. The thermal power sector is famous as the highest creator of energy, but still it is blamed for creating Environmental pollution. So, they are trying their best to help themselves on sustainability issues. Basically, Indian powerplants are not only focusing on Sustainable Issues but also trying to develop a sustainable supply chain strategy to carry out their operations while respecting social as well as environmental issues. Sustainable supply chain management(SSCM) practices of thermal power plants mostly dependent on the practice of utilizing waste, water, energy, ash, and taking care of environment in such a manner that social, environmental, and economic factors should not be affected. So, in this chapter sustainable supply chain management practices of Indian thermal power sectors are focused, analyzed, and ranked by Maut method. Simultaneously, their interrelation and correlation are found.
