Energy And Environment

We employed catastrophe theory and entropy method to measure and compare the environmental performance and economic performance of 40 listed companies from the thermal power and steel industries in China, to explore their relationship. The results showed that the environmental performance of the steel industry was less than that of the thermal power industry, but their economic performance was similar. This means that steel industry has had lower resource use efficiency and more pollutant emission, and has a larger potential to saving resources, energy and environment pollution. Both the correlation analysis and regression analysis indicated that there existed a significant positive relationship between the environmental performance and economic performance of the steel industry and thermal power industry in China. This means that it is very possible to gain win-win situation of these two performances, if the listed companies tend to make advanced production and environment protection activities come into a benevolent cycle, by means of technology upgrading and transformation.

China is faced with significant challenges in the energy sector such as energy shortage, environmental pollution, greenhouse gas emission, and energy supply in rural areas, which severely restrict its sustainable development. In this paper, the current status and trends of thermal power industrial security issues based on sustainable energy development in China are elaborated. The strategies of sustainable energy in China are brought forward accordingly, such as efficient thermal power industry, green thermal power industry. The corresponding implementations of sustainable energy development in China are expounded as well. In the end, this paper concludes that China must set a step-by-step unified national energy plan to promote the construction of a sustainable energy system, which will be economically, environmentally, and socially viable, and, thus, China would play an important role to promote global sustainable development.

Indian Scenario

Coal based thermal power has emerged as the major source of electric power in India over the years and this trend is expected to continue even in the future. The environmental effects of thermal power generation are becoming a major concern. Here we present a review of the status of environmental control at present in terms of regulation and their application in the power industry and study the environmental issues of and options for the thermal power generation.

The Relationship

In the manufacturing industry of the Coal-Electricity integration, due to the high-level of coal price, thermal power enterprises are in severe situations currently. This paper analyzes the relationship between the coal manufacturing industry and power manufacturing industry in China, and points out that coal-electricity integration is one important way to develop China's power industry. It also makes a comprehensive analysis and evaluation on the advantages and disadvantages of coal-electricity integration manufacturing industry. Thermal power enterprises should estimate the coming risk in the process of coal-electricity integration, and spare their efforts to improve the adaptability, thereby enhances the comprehensive ability to resist risks.

Processing Wastes

Thermal power plants and boiler units generate most of the anthropogenic emissions around the world. A promising solution to many problems that heat and power industry is facing today would be switching from conventional coal dust combustion to composite liquid fuels (CLF). These are also known as coal-water slurries containing petrochemicals (CWSP). Here, we perform an experimental study of the most hazardous anthropogenic emissions (sulfur and nitrogen oxides) from the combustion of high-potential CWSP. We identify the main benefits and potential drawbacks of using CWSP in heat and power industry. A set of components and additives to CWSP are explored that significantly affect the environmental and energy performance of fuels. The anthropogenic emissions from the combustion of CWSP made of widespread coal and oil processing wastes are no higher than those from coal dust combustion. Using specialized additives to CWSP, we can change the concentrations of NOx and SOx several times. The most appealing additives to CWSP are sawdust, straw, charcoal, limestone, and glycerol.
