  Gasification of coal and biomass: a net carbon-negative power source for environment-friendly electricity generation in China
  Author(s): Xi Lu*
  
  Realizing the goal of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 2 °C by the end of this century will require most likely deployment of carbon-negative technologies. It is particularly important that China, as the world’s top carbon emitter, avoids being locked into carbon-intensive coal-fired power generation technologies and undertakes a smooth transition from high- to negative- carbon electricity production. We focus here on deploying a combination of coal and biomass energy to produce electricity in China using an integrated gasification combined cycle system with carbon capture and storage (CBECCS). Such a system will also reduce air pollutant emissions, thus contributing to China’s near-term goal of improving air quality. We evaluate the bus-bar electricity-generation prices for CBECCS with mixing ratios of crop residues varying from 0% to 100%, as well as as.. Read More»
