Coal-to-Gas Transition a Winning Strategy in Tianjin, China
Reducing fine particulate emissions was a driving factor in the shift from coal to gas at the Junliangcheng power plant in Tianjin, China. Among the other benefits is a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, which is important as the world’s most populous nation strives to become carbon-neutral before 2060.
Like many countries around the world, China is on a mission to cut back on coal-fired power generation. In fact, in 2020, the portion of China’s installed electric generation capacity that was fueled by coal dipped below 50% for the first time ever. It stood at 49.1% at the end of the year, according to the China Electricity Council.
