  • Energy Economy Objectives for the Year 2030
    State of Israel Ministry of Energy Energy Economy Objectives for the Year 2030 Executive Summary October 2018 ~2~ Rescuing Israel from Polluting Energy Minister of Energy The State of Israel is about to become the most populated country in the West. Will we suffocate in the future due to the pollution we create? From the pollution emitted daily and hourly from the dozens of power production plants, from the millions of cars on the roads and streets, from the plants and factories? As a result of supposedly positive developments, such as demographic and economic growth and an improvement in quality of life – will our lives in this country turn into hell? Twenty years from now, will we be forced to live in our homes behind air filters, and on our streets, wear paper masks on our faces as they do in Beijing? Upon my entry to the Ministry of Energy, I realized that we face a crossroads: we either continue with the power of inertia on the path we have been on until now, ending with a health and environmental catastrophe; or we change direction and work to reduce air pollution and save our children and grandchildren from an impending environmental disaster. If we continue in the same direction, with a planned increase of coal-fired power plants, and an addition of hundreds of thousands of new cars each year, we will certainly come to a catastrophe. According to OECD data, in 2015, approximately 2,200 people were killed in Israel due to air pollution. 2,200 people killed in a year! Seven times more than the number of casualties from road accidents.

  • The Impact of Emissions from a Large Coal-Fired Power Plant on Nearby Communities in the Hadera Region, Israel
    Air Pollution XXVI 597 THE IMPACT OF EMISSIONS FROM A LARGE COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT ON NEARBY COMMUNITIES IN THE HADERA REGION, ISRAEL NURIT SHAHAM-WALDMANN1, DANNY MOSHE2, NIR SAHAR1 & ALAN GERTLER3 1Cities Association for Environmental Protection, Sharon-Carmel, Israel 2GreenVision Systems, Ltd., Tel Aviv, Israel 3Desert Research Institute, Reno, Nevada, USA ABSTRACT The Orot Rabin power plant is a 2,590 MW coal-fired power plant located along the Mediterranean coast north of Tel Aviv. Close by to the east is the city of Hadera. Due to the predominant east-west wind patterns, both Hadera and the nearby communities may be impacted by stack emissions from the power plant. In addition, on-site storage of coal and coal residue can be a source of fugitive PM emissions. To determine the sources contributing to elevated PM10 levels in the region, a source apportionment study was performed at two locations (Hephziba and Pardes-Channa) during August/October 2017. We applied a microscopic chemical imaging (MCI) methodology based on particle fluorescence to determine PM source contributions in near-real time (GreenVision Systems, Ltd., Tel Aviv, “GVS”). For the Hephziba monitoring site, located closest to the power plant and adjacent to a major highway, the major emissions sources were mobile sources (29.8%) and coal power plant emissions (29.1%). In addition, fugitive coal and coal residue were estimated to contribute 11.5% of the observed PM10. At the Pardes-Channa site, located further inland and in a more residential area, contributors included mobile sources (38.6%), coal power plant emissions (19.3%), and fugitive coal and coal residue (2.7%).
