Environmentally acceptable economic growth is closely linked with further improvements in the overall efficiency of energy use. Both of these goals will require a continued increase in the use of coal to produce electricity, along with a more deliberate and rapid transition from direct coal combustion to the use of electricity and other cleaner coal-based fuel sources, especially for cooking, space heating, and industrial furnaces. The opportunity for environmental improvement in conjunction with economic growth lies in the wise adoption of clean coal technologies (CCT) for both the electric power and non-power sectors. This report presents CCT options for the power sector that can help China achieve these twin goals. The CCT options are: 1) air pollution controls for particulates, sulphur dioxide, and nitrous oxide; and 2) advanced electricity generation technologies--supercritical pulverized-coal boilers, atmospheric and pressurized fluidized-bed combustors, and integrated gasification combined cycle plants. Volume 1 of this report explains the project costing methodology and the electric power CCT options. Volume 2 summarizes the development and technology assessment of clean coal technologies for the non-power sector in China.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENTABATEMENT STRATEGIESACID DEPOSITIONACID RAINAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAIRAIR EMISSIONSAIR POLLUTANTSAIR POLLUTIONAIR POLLUTION PROBLEMSAIR QUALITYAMBIENT AIR POLLUTIONASHATMOSPHERIC FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTIONBASELINE EMISSIONSBED COMBUSTIONBIOMASSBURNING COALCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECLEAN COALCLEAN WATERCOCO2COAL MININGCOAL OILCOAL TECHNOLOGIESCOAL WASHINGCOMPLIANCE COSTSCOST ANALYSISCOST EFFECTIVENESSCOST OF ELECTRICITYDEMAND FOR ELECTRICITYDEMAND FOR ENERGYDESULFURIZATIONECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC VALUEELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYEMISSIONEMISSION ABATEMENTEMISSION CONTROLEMISSION FACTORSEMISSION FEESEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSION STANDARDEND-USEENERGY CONVERSIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY DEVELOPMENTENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY INTENSITYENERGY MARKETENERGY PLANNINGENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SECTORENERGY SOURCESENERGY USEENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCEENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGEENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGESENVIRONMENTAL GOALSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDSEXTERNALITIESFLUE GASFLUE GAS DESULFURIZATIONFORESTRYFUELFUEL OILGENERATORHEATINGHIGH SULFUR COALHUMAN HEALTHINCOMEINDOOR AIRINDOOR AIR POLLUTIONINDOOR AIR QUALITYINDUSTRIAL FACILITIESLNGLOW SULFUR FUELNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESNEW PLANTSNITROUS OXIDENOXOBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASEPACIFIC REGIONPARTICULATE EMISSIONSPARTICULATE MATTERPARTICULATE POLLUTIONPARTICULATESPETROLEUM GASPLANT LEVELPM10POLICY MAKERSPOLLUTANT EMISSIONPOLLUTANTSPOLLUTION CONTROLPOLLUTION DAMAGEPOLLUTION FEESPOLLUTION IMPACTSPOLLUTION LEVELSPOLLUTION PROBLEMSPOPULATION GROWTHPOWER COMPANYPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION FACILITIESPOWER PLANTSPOWER SYSTEMPREMATURE DEATHSPRESENT VALUEPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTIONRENEWABLE ENERGYSMOGSO2STABILIZATIONSTATE POWERSULFURSULFUR DIOXIDESULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONSSULFUR EMISSIONSTHERMAL POWERTIMBERVOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDSWATER POLLUTIONWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCESWEATHER PATTERNSWILLINGNESS TO PAYWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWTP10.1596/20283
