Abstract

Reducing pollution and carbon emissions is a major strategic plan made by the Party Central Committee in the new development stage. The electric power industry is the main force in reducing pollution and carbon emissions, and it is significant to set reasonable targets for the electric power industry to reduce pollution and carbon emissions. This talk focuses on the clean & low-carbon transition in electric power industry in China based on three different aspects. Chinese government began to focus on CO2 reduction since 2004. 2005 was the base year of CO2 reduction in China. Hence the first aspect is the interpretations and researches of the policies from 2004 to 2022. The indices and criteria in 6 important policies for electric power industry have been concerned. Secondly, the unit capacity development, steam parameter development, coal consumption rate and CO2 emission reduction are compared in foreign countries and China. Also, the parameters of representative units in China is analyzed. The ultra low emission (ULE) technology is developed and derived data of contribution proportion of ULE retrofits to improvements in ground-level PM2.5 concentrations. In the last part, according to the policies and the practices, the prospects are proposed as different energy types of installed capacity and power generation, thermal utilization hours, coal consumption in thermal power supply, future electricity demand, and China's power industry production and CO2 emission.
