世界自然基金會（WWF）10日發佈的一項新分析顯示，歐洲污染排放最高的30個發電廠，佔2006年全歐盟溫室氣體二氧化碳排放量的10%。
其中尤以希臘國營電力公司旗下的的狄米特里歐斯（Agios Dimitrios）和卡地亞（Kardia）二大電廠，名列歐洲最髒發電廠之首；其次則為德國最大電廠REW公司所有的Niederaussem電廠。
為此，世界自然基金會歐洲氣候及能源單位主管辛格（Stephan Singer）表示：「事實很清楚，能源部門必須要盡快淘汰高污染的燃煤發電，並且透過改善歐盟排放交易系統（Emissions Trading System，ETS），幫助歐盟達到在2020年降低30%溫室氣體排放量的目標。」
The 30 dirtiest power stations in Europe were responsible for 10 percent of all European Union emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in 2006, finds a new analysis issued Thursday by the global conservation group WWF.
The title of dirtiest power stations goes to Greece's Agios Dimitrios and Kardia, owned by DEH, the Public Power Corporation of Greece. They are immediately followed by Niederaussem in Germany, owned by RWE.
"The facts are clear: the power sector needs to phase out dirty coal as soon as possible," said Stephan Singer, head of WWF's European Climate and Energy Unit. "This must be done through an improved EU Emissions Trading System, helping the EU achieve its target of up to 30 percent reduction in emissions by 2020," he said.
