This article examines various methods employed to mitigate nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from gas turbine thermal power plants, aiming to minimize their environmental impact. NOx emissions contribute significantly to air pollution and pose health risks, making their reduction imperative. The study explores different techniques, including combustion modifications, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), among others. Through a comprehensive analysis of these methods, their effectiveness, advantages, and challenges are evaluated. By implementing appropriate NOx reduction strategies, gas turbine thermal power plants can achieve regulatory compliance, enhance environmental sustainability, and safeguard public health.
