Energy and Clean Technology

Energy and Clean Technology The world's largest carbon capture project launched by a coal-fired power plant broke ground in July in Shanghai. Carbon capture technology is a response to worsening global warming that results mostly from fossil fuel emissions. The goal is to capture carbon dioxide from large-point sources such as fossil fuel power plants or biomass energy facilities, industries with major carbon dioxide emissions, and from natural gas processing, synthetic fuel plants and fossil fuel-based hydrogen production plants.

After completion, which is scheduled before the end of this year, the project will capture as many as 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. Read more

In the process of implementing the Green Credit Policy nationwide, how to balance the interests of short-term and that of long-run and how to facilitate efficient collaboration between local environmental authorities and banking regulators are the key success factors.

At the end of 2008, China had invested over 100 billion yuan to build 363 million kW desulphurization units in coal-fired power plants.
