Investment decision making for carbon capture and storage technology in high efficiency, low-emission coal-fired power plant via dynamic techno-economic-policy evaluation framework: Case study in China

There are significant uncertainties pertaining to the future of coal power generation across the globe and especially for China. Being one of the largest coal consumers and CO2 emitters, China aims at addressing its national energy security while ensuring to achieve sustainable operations. In follow...

Being one of the largest coal consumers and CO2 emitters, China aims at addressing its national energy security while ensuring to achieve sustainable operations. In following its commitments to the Paris Agreement and in pursuit of near-zero emissions from power plants, China has actively moved towards high efficiency, low emission (HELE) coal-fired power plants.

Based on hypothetical scenarios, a HELE coal-fired power plant is found to contribute 55 % profit by selling the electricity. However, a substantial CO2 emissions cost is incurred due to the installation of CCS, leading to a high caution on investment.
