Carbon emission reduction, cost-affordability and supply-reliability are all important for the transition to a carbon-neutral power system in China. This study searches for optimal transitions toward carbon neutrality in the power sector with a high spatial resolution model, coordinating...

China has implemented a renewable portfolio standards (RPS) policy to promote renewable energy development by stipulating a minimum proportion of renewable energy electricity in the electricity consumption mix. The evaluation of influences of the RPS policy on the provincial power system and on...

Selective catalytic reduction of NO x with NH 3 (NH 3 -SCR) is a commonly used method to remove NO x from flue gas. However, spent SCR catalysts that have been landfilled bring potential environmental hazards and an enormous waste of resources. In this paper, a high value-added composite...

As one of the most developed provinces in China, Jiangsu Province has been actively developing bio-energy in order to deal with its electricity supply shortage. By the end of 2010, there are 12 grid-connected straw-based power plants, but only two of them are profitable in this province. This...

The decision on the location of a straw-based power generation plant has a great influence on the plant’s operation and performance. This study explores traditional theories for site selection. Using integer programming, the study optimizes the economic and carbon emission outcomes of...
