· The bad news is that producing the solar panels in China using coalfired electrical power plants to generate electricity will produce almost as much CO2 as the fossil fuel plants the solar power ...
· China's power production hit alltime high in midJuly Thermal coal prices at alltime high on tight demandsupply Deep losses cap operating rates of gasfired power plants China's coalfired and gasfired power plants struggled to boost electricity production despite record summer demand through July as regulated tariffs prevented them from passing on surging coal and gas prices to consumers.
· Almost three years ago I visited the site of the refinery as part of our Choke Point: China report, interviewed the plant's chief design engineer, and learned that coaltoliquids refineries consumed so much water — about 10 cubic meters for every metric ton of fuel produced — that China's program to build over 20 such refineries had been curtailed to constructing just three.
· China commissioned gigawatts (GW) of new coal plants in 2020, offsetting the recordtying GW of coal capacity retired last year, the report showed. China's coal boom accounted for 76 ...
· While coalfired power generation capacity growth has slowed from the peak years – 2006 saw the equivalent of large units added every week – the rate of coalfired power plant additions and construction initiations in China is still breathtaking: 39 gigawatts were added in 2014, or three 1000MW units every four weeks, up from 36 gigawatts in 2013.
· The bank has already said it will not fund Kenya's US billion coalfired power plant or Zimbabwe's US3 billion 2,800megawatt Sengwa coal project.
· Coalbased chemical plants typically emit three times more carbon dioxide and waste water for each unit of production, compared to oilbased chemical plants.
China commissioned GW of new coal plants in 2020, over three times the GW commissioned in the rest of the world. Chinaʼs coal fleet grew by net GW in 2020, while in the rest of the world net capacity decreased by GW. China initiated GW of new coal plant proposals in 2020, over five times the GW
· Home; Refining Processing; China's Baofeng Energy lets contracts for new coaltoolefins plant. Ningxia Baofeng Energy has let two contracts to KBR to license technology and provide design for ...
· The coalfired power plants built in China in 2020 exceeded capacity taken offline in the rest of the world, a new report says. China added GW of coalfired power capacity, slightly more than the GW of coal plants mothballed in all other countries. The increase marks the first net expansion of the global coal fleet since 2015—even ...
