The reporter learned today that the new version of the national standard "Energy Consumption Limit for Unit Products of Coal-fired Generator Units" has been officially implemented on April 1. The standard was first formulated in 2007 and was revised in 2013 and 2017, and this time is the third revision.
The new standard is not only applicable to conventional coal-fired generator sets and cogeneration units, but also includes circulating fluidized bed units, basically achieving full coverage of coal-fired power. After the standard is revised, the energy consumption access indicators will be stricter. The average coal consumption of active units such as subcritical and supercritical units has been tightened to about 302 grams of standard coal per kilowatt-hour. This will effectively promote the "energy-saving and carbon reduction transformation, flexibility transformation, and heating transformation" (three reforms and linkage) work of active units.
·The energy consumption access values of newly built 600,000 kilowatt and 1 million kilowatt ultra-supercritical units will be reduced by 1 gram and 3 grams of standard coal/kilowatt-hour respectively, and
·The energy consumption access values of other types of units will be reduced by 10 grams of standard coal/kilowatt-hour respectively.
Comprehensively increase the entry threshold for new coal-fired power plants, and promote the use of new units with higher efficiency, larger capacity and higher parameters of power generation technologies.
After the implementation of the standard, it is estimated that by 2030, the average coal consumption in the coal-fired power industry will drop below 302 grams of standard coal/kilowatt-hour, which can save about 60 million tons of standard coal in total, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 160 million tons, achieve significant energy-saving and carbon reduction effects, and effectively support the realization of power carbon peak and even the national carbon peak target.
