Environmental Benefits

Producing effectively no noxious emissions, Solana will provide Arizonans with pollution-free energy. Solana's energy will also reduce Arizona's need for electricity from conventional generation facilities, eliminating the emission of nearly a half-million tons of carbon dioxide per year. Other harmful pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (520 tons) and nitrogen oxides (1,065 tons) will also be eliminated. This is the equivalent of removing nearly 80,000 cars from the road each year, or half the cars that use the Valley's US Highway 60 every day.
