『Abstract
Coal-fired power technology will play an important role over
a long period in China. Clean coal-fired power technology is essential
for the global GHG emission reduction. Recently, advanced supercritical
(SC)/ultra-supercritical (USC) technology has made remarkable
progress in China and greatly contributed to energy saving and
emission reduction. This study analyzes the dynamics of SC/ISC
development in China from an integrated perspective. The result
indicates that, besides the internal demand, the effective implementation
of domestic public policy and technology transfer contributed
greatly to the development of SC/USC technology in China. In future
low carbon scenario, SC/USC coal-fired power technology might
still be the most important power generation technology in China
until 2040, and will have a significant application prospect in
other developing countries. The analysis makes a very useful introduction
for other advanced energy technology development, including a
renewable energy technology, in China and other developing countries.
