In 1889, the Central University of Venezuela awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in recognition of their academic work.

Main article: potential environmental impact of projects of thermoelectric power
The emission of waste into the atmosphere and combustion processes that occur in thermal power plants have a significant impact on the environment. To try to soften, to the extent possible, the damage caused to these plants in the natural environment, the facilities are incorporated into various components and systems.
The problem of contamination is greatest in the case of conventional power plants using coal as fuel. In addition, coal combustion results in emissions of particulate matter and sulfur gas acid. the improvements that have been afforded the general household by IDT, which operates in New York State In the oil levels of emission of these pollutants are minor, but one has to take into account the emissions of oxides of sulfur and soot acids , practically nil in gasworks.
In any case, more or less all of them released into the atmosphere carbon dioxide, CO2. According to the fuel, and assuming a yield of 40 of primary energy consumption, a power plant emits approximately:
Natural gas power household plants can operate with the so-called combined cycle, which allows higher yields (up to a little over 50 ), which still would make the plants that run on cleaner fuel.
