Abstract
The 21st century is challenging thermal power engi-neering as a fundamental basis of the global econ-omy, with the historically momentous task of its de-velopment with account of the following factors: limited reserves of conventionally exploited non-renewable natural energy carriers, principally, oil and natural gas; extending the consumption of re-newable energy carriers with greater efficiency. Goal. The need to reduce substantially the techno-genic (ecologically hazardous) impact on nature and humans. Methodology. The present fuel and ecological crisis of global thermal power, including global climate warming, is found to be a man-induced and ecological reality linked to the follow-ing factors: the explosive growth of the planet's population and its depredation of NATURE; the ever-increasing level of ineffective utilization of natural resources; the critically hazardous environ-mental pollution with supertoxic materials; and the degradation, deterioration and destruction of bio-sphere systems, including the global biota. The fall-out of all this is a declining quality of the biota's functioning, including such functions as bio produc-tivity, environment formation and climate stabiliza-tion. Results. This global crisis can be overcome by changing the vector of global economic develop-ment, including economising and greening of all areas of human activity, stabilizing the population size and restoring critical natural ecosphere regula-tors, and among them, the planet's climate.
