Lignite-burning power station
Lignite-burning power station at night. This is the Neurath power station (Kraftwerk Neurath), near Grevenbroich, Germany. It obtains power by burning lignite (brown coal). This is a low-grade form of coal with a low carbon content. There are six power generating units at this power station, four built in the 1970s and two new ones that have been under construction since 2006. This is the older power station units, with the newer ones being built a short distance away from the original site

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Neurath power station in all its glory, illuminated against the night sky. Located near Grevenbroich, Germany, this lignite-burning power station derives its energy from brown coal, a low-grade form of coal with minimal carbon content. The image captures the industrial might and technological prowess of this facility. With six power generating units, four dating back to the 1970s and two newer ones under construction since 2006, this photograph specifically focuses on the older units while hinting at progress being made nearby. The towering chimney stands tall amidst a backdrop of buildings and cooling towers that emit water vapor and billowing smoke stacks. The Neurath power station symbolizes Europe's commitment to meeting energy demands in the 21st century through advanced technology. Its ability to harness electrical power from lignite highlights Germany's dedication towards sustainable fuel sources. Martin Bond skillfully captures both the grandeur and intricacy of this engineering marvel in his photo print. It serves as a reminder of humanity's constant pursuit for efficient energy solutions while simultaneously raising questions about environmental impact.
