Beijing will clsoe China Huaneng Group Corp.’s 845-megawatt power plant in 2016. Plants owned by Guohua Electric Power Corp. and Beijing Energy Investment Holding Co., were closed already. A major power plant, owned by China Datang Corp., was closed last year itself. Thus four major power plants in Beijing using coal were shotdown we can say.
The facilities will be replaced by four gas-fired stations with capacity to supply 2.6 times more electricity than the coal plants.
Beijing plans to cut annual coal consumption by 13 million metric tons by 2017 from the 2012 level in a bid to slash the concentration of pollutants.
Shutting all the major coal power plants in the city, equivalent to reducing annual coal use by 9.2 million metric tons, is estimated to cut carbon emissions of about 30 million tons.
The nation’s emissions of carbon dioxide fell 2 percent last year from 2013, the first decline since 2001. Hence Carbon emission reduction programs are giving results.
