The construction of the 1,320 MW (2x660 MW) Liaocheng Xiangguang ultra-supercritical (USC) coal-fired CHP project has started in Liaocheng, in the Shandong Province (China). The project is developed by a consortium comprising Harbin Power Group, Shandong Energy Group and Xinfengxiang Group. The thermal efficiency of the plant will be 61.8%, and the average annual coal consumption for power generation should reach 235 g /kWh. The project is expected to generate 6.6 TWh/year of electricity and 11.4 PJ/year of heat.
According to the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics, the share of coal in China’s primary consumption decreased by 1.5 percentage point in 2019 to 57.7%. China’s objective was to reduce coal’s share below 58% in 2020. China’s coal consumption and total energy consumption increased by 1% and 3.3%, respectively, in 2019. China’s NDC set the objective of achieving a peak CO2 reduction around 2030, or earlier if possible; lowering CO2 per unit of GDP by 40% to 45% from 2005 levels; and increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20%.
