Abstract
At present, when considering the problem of the impact of energy on climate change, the international community considers the main factor determining the greenhouse effect and, as a result, the increase in the temperature of the planet’s geosphere a man-made increase in the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. At the same time, it is well known that the main greenhouse gas that ensures the temperature stability of the planet is the water vapor present in the atmosphere.
This work, an attempt is made to take into account the additional enhancement of the greenhouse effect, taking into account water vapor entering the atmosphere as a result of energy production at power plants of different types using different types of fuel (gas, coal, fuel oil, uranium).
Purpose of the work is to expand the consideration of all the main sources of gas products accompanying energy production, in order to select promising technological solutions that prevent further strengthening of the greenhouse effect and climate change.
