Research on the Low-carbon Transformation Path and Practice of Thermal Power Generation Enterprises Under the Dual Carbon Background

Under the "dual carbon" goals, thermal power enterprises face pressures such as carbon emission quotas, declining utilization hours, fluctuating fuel costs, and environmental compliance. The article analyzes low-carbon transition pathways including ultra-low emission retrofits, flexibility upgrades, coal consumption optimization, biomass co-firing, and ammonia/hydrogen co-firing from the perspectives of energy efficiency improvement and fuel substitution. Research indicates that energy efficiency enhancement is the most feasible path, while biomass co-firing serves as a supplementary technology for mid-term development, and ammonia/hydrogen co-firing represents a long-term reserve technology.
