The cumulative reduction of electricity industry in five years is about 1.74 billion tons of CO2

The just-released "China Power Emissions Reduction Research 2011" shows that with 2005 as the base year, China's power industry cumulatively reduced carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 1.74 billion tons during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period.

The report pointed out that during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, the power industry has increased energy management, and the average coal consumption, line loss rate, and plant electricity consumption rate of thermal power units have reached or approached the world’s advanced level, completing “Eleventh Five-Year” ahead of schedule. Energy saving planning goals.

According to the statistical analysis of the China Electric Power Enterprise Federation, the average coal-fired power consumption for coal-fired power plants with 6000-kilowatt and above was 333 grams per kilowatt-hour in 2010, a year-on-year decrease of 7 grams per kilowatt-hour, reaching the world's advanced level. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the average coal consumption for coal-fired power plants decreased by 37 grams per kilowatt-hour, which is equivalent to a cumulative saving of about 320 million tons of standard coal, and a corresponding emission reduction of about 900 million tons of carbon dioxide.

In respect of emission reduction, according to the statistical analysis of the China Electricity Council, the total amount of smoke and dust emissions from electricity in 2010 was 1.6 million tons, down 31.9% from the previous year; sulfur dioxide emissions were down by approximately 29% from 2005; Rising, emission intensity decreases year by year. The power industry adopted measures such as the development of non-fossil energy, reduction of coal consumption for power supply, and line loss, taking 2005 as the base year. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, cumulative reduction of CO2 emissions was approximately 1.74 billion tons, with remarkable results.

This report is divided into three parts: The first part fully reflects the development of China's power industry in 2010, the control of air pollutant emissions from coal-fired power plants and the introduction of relevant regulations and policies for energy-saving emission reduction since 2010; the second part analyzes the development of non-fossils in China. Based on the necessity and constraints of energy, the case of TIMES model applied to energy system analysis was introduced. In the third part, the overall status and development trend of the power industry were summarized, and six policy recommendations were proposed for power development.

The series of “China Power Emission Reduction Study” series jointly completed by the China Electricity Council and the American Environmental Protection Association has been issued for five consecutive years to grasp the status quo and focus of the development of the power industry and the control of air pollutant emissions from coal-fired power plants. Forecast future trends.
