<p>A recent report by independent energy consultants Parsons Brinckerhoff commissioned
by this Department estimates that fitting emissions abatement technology needed to
comply with the forthcoming industrial emissions Directive would result in a reduction
in plant efficiency in the range 0.01 to 0.13 percentage points:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coal-and-gas-assumptions"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coal-and-gas-assumptions</a></p><p>The
impact on the carbon intensity of electricity generated by a plant, measured in gCO2/kWh,
as a result of fitting emissions abatement technology can be expected to be of a scale
that reflects this estimated range of efficiency loss.</p><p>A ‘reference plant’ was
used for the purposes of the report and exact changes to efficiency and emissions
intensity may vary across the UK’s coal-fired power stations due to their differing
designs.</p><p> </p>
