Environment

Minimizing the environmental impact caused by constructing Poseidon is important to FPP.

There are several positive environmental impacts from the construction of Poseidon. The energy production from a 230 meter Poseidon power plant will reduce the annual emission from a traditional fossil fuel power generation by:

• 145 tons of sulphur dioxide
• 120 tons of nitric oxides
• 35,000 tons of carbon dioxide
• 2,600 tons of slag and fly ash

Poseidon utilizes and absorbs the inherent energy from the waves, thereby reducing the height of the waves significantly and creating calm waters behind the front of the plant.
