Hi Ken,
For question 3 from Dec 2014 past paper, Maxwell Electricitu Generation (Maxwell) is not included in the BPP revision kit, is the topic being removed from exam syllabus?
May 22, 2017 at 6:32 pm #387496The environmental areas are still in the syllabus. BPP usually has some mock exams at the back of their kits. Perhaps Maxwell is there.

Ken, I would like to ask question 3 (a) from Dec 2014. From the sample answer for Plan 2, the examiner calculate the % reduction in CO2 emission using “total CO2 emission divided by the total power output”.
I was wondering why is not using % changes of total CO2 emissions to calculate the % reduction, i.e. 26.51 (existing plan) minus 22.68 (plan 1a + plan 2) and divided by 26.51, which is 14.4% reduction, which do not reach the government’s target.
May 23, 2017 at 10:27 pm #387686You could do that. However, emissions could be completely,avoided simply by producing nothing, and that is notmthe point. The examiner’s answer looks atchamges in emission efficiency per unit 9f power.
May 24, 2017 at 2:24 am #387695Thanks Ken. Sir, may I know what do you mean by “emission could be completely, avoided simply by producing nothing?”?
May 24, 2017 at 8:03 pm #387924If you produce no power, there will be no carbon emissions.
