The Norochcholai Coal Power Plant's emission of flying ash as well as environment pollution is almost 'Zero', Power and Renewable Energy Deputy Minister Ajith P. Perera said.
He made this observation during an interview with the media.
Minister Perera said although some people have said that flying ash affects their agriculture, it is totally misleading.
He said 99.4 percent of the flying ash is trapped at the chimney and sold to cement factories. He also said sometimes a bit of bottom ash is blown away with the sea winds.
"Building a parapet wall where the bottom ash is dumped will give a permanent solution to this issue," the deputy minister said. "Even after a lapse of a considerable period the CEB has failed to construct it. It will be constructed soon."
He said that sulfur emission of the Norochcholai Coal Power plant is also "Zero". The only emission is Carbon Dioxide and added that it is not hazardous.
