The methods for estimating major gaseous state pollutants emissions due to fossil fuels consumption by thermalpower were introduced. The life cycle emission inventory of the life cycle total emission amount and the unit electricity use due to the fuel consumption was calculated. The life cycle emissions amounts of unit electricity use of CO2, SO2, NOx,CO, CH4, non-methane volatile organic compound (NMVOC), dust, As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, V and Zn related to the fuel consumption of thermal power in China in 2002 were 1.07, 9.93×10-3, 6.46×10-3, 1.55×10-3, 2.60×10-3, 4.87×10-4, 2.02×10-2, 2.00×10-6, 1.27×10-8, 1.69×10-7, 8.78×10-8, 2.50×10-7, 1.76×10-6, 2.88×10-6 and 2.40×10-6kg/(kW?h) respectively. The direct emissions of fossil fuels combustion was the main source of the life cycle emission of As, Zn, Pb,Hg, dust, Cr, V, SO2, CO2, CO, Ni, NOx and NMVOC. The Cd direct emission and indirect emission was matched basically; while the life cycle emission of CH4 was mainly due to the stages of fossil fuels production and transportation.
