Research and Suggestions on Improving the Carbon Emission Management Capacity of Coal-fired Power Plants

Abstract

This paper discusses how coal-fired power plants can improve their carbon emissions management capabilities in the context of the 2030 carbon peak policy. The article first outlines the current status of implementing carbon peak policies in China’s energy sector, analyzes the current status of carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants, including carbon emission intensity, progress in low-carbon transformation, and the operation of the carbon emissions trading market. Subsequently, the article proposes six suggestions for improving the carbon emissions management capabilities of coal-fired power plants, and provides typical cases for each suggestion. Finally, the article looks forward to the challenges and opportunities faced by coal-fired power plants in carbon emissions management in the future, and emphasizes the importance of improving carbon emissions management capabilities for coal-fired power plants.
