I. Brief introduction of China
Huaneng Group

„ The installation capacity by the end of 2008 was 85,860,000

kw, among which about 4 million kw are installed overseas.
The Group is the biggest power generation company in Asia.
„ The domestic installed power generation amount in 2008 was
364,500 million kwh.
„ Sales income 2008 was 151,300 million yuan, with a year-on
increase by 30.9%. Ranking as one of the world’s top electric
power companies.
„ The Group has more than 100 power plants in 25 provinces
(municipalities and regions).
„ Integrated operations in power, coal, road, port and
transportation, with a total coal production of 21.88 million
tons and has 28 billion tons of coal under control.
II. Main measures to improve energy efficiency

„ Develop high volume and high efficiency power generation

unit
¾ The Group has installed four units with a capacity of 1
million kw., 40 units with a capacity of 600 thousand kw
and above by the end of 2008, accounting for 34.4% of
the total thermal power installation capacity of the Group
¾ The 300,000 to 600,000 kw units are the main units, and
units with capacity above 300,000 kw accounts for 85%
of the total installed capacity of thermal power units of
the Group
„ Discard and shut down small thermal power units
Small units with the capacity of 3.23 million kw were closed
during the 11th five year plan.
 II. Main measures to improve energy efficiency

„ Promote actively new technologies and new techniques

¾ The earliest in introducing and applying supercritical coal-
fired unit with a capacity of 600 thousand kw. (Shanghai
Shidongkou 2nd Plant)
¾ The earliest in the construction of 1 million ultra-supercritical
coal-fired unit with the biggest unit capacity in the world
(Yuhuan Power Plant)
¾ The earliest in introducing internationally advanced slag tap,
fly ash reburning, low nox combustion technology (Beijing
Thermal Power and Yangliuqing Power Plant)
¾ The earliest in establishing commercially viable wind-solar
hybrid power supply system (Nan Ao)
¾ The earliest in adopting the “double velum method” sea water
desalination techniques; accomplished the biggest sea water
desalination project in China (Yuanhuan Power Plant)
¾ The earliest in the hydro power field that realizes “centralized
dispatch, no need for people on guard; few people on duty
and distance control ”
II. Main measures to improve energy efficiency

„ Explore actively green energy

¾ The installed capacity of hydropower in
China reached 5.23 million kw by the end of
2008.
¾ By the end of 2008, the installed capacity of
wind power in China was 1.08 million kw
¾ The nuclear power project was launched in
2004, with a planned investment of 40 billion
yuan and a total capacity of 4 million kw.
¾ The construction of China’s biggest solar
power plant with a total installation capacity
of 166 thousand kw, commenced in 2008 in
Shilin, Kunming.
Main measures of energy conservation and
emission reduction

„ Promote actively technical innovation

¾ Initiated and implemented the green coal electricity
plan with efforts made to construct power plant that can
highly improve the coal power generation efficiency
and reduce emission to zero. (Tianjin IGCC Power
Plant)
¾ First of its kind in establishing the coal-fired CO2
trapping model project (Beijing Thermal Power Plant),
with a yearly CO2 trapping amount of 3,000 tons.
¾ Made efforts in research on CFB techniques and
achieved great success. (Huaneng Xi’an Thermal
power Research Institute)
¾ The construction of a 200,000-KW level high
temperature gas cooled reactor will be started in
September and completed in 2013 in Shidaowan,
Rongcheng , Shandong.
 III. Main achievements of improving energy
efficiency

„ Huaneng Group completed successfully 187

technology innovation projects from 2003 to
2007, among which, 13 are national 863 and
973 projects. And has obtained 36 patent in
China.
„ The ultra-supercritical coal-fired power
generation technology has been given the top
award of National S&T Award of China
„ The thermal power plant performance online
diagnosis and controlling system project won
second award of National S&T Award of
China
III. Main achievements of improving energy
efficiency

„ The R&D and application of key technologies

of CFB boiler won the second prize of
National S&T Award of China
„ Succeeded in development of key
technologies of a 863 project in the 11th five
year plan—key technology of high
temperature and high dust level DeNOx
„ Yuhuan Power Plant, the first million kw
power plant in China won the Gold prize of
National Excellent Project of 2008.
„ The four power projects completed in Weihai
won the silver prize of National Excellent
Project of 2008.
IV. Main achievements of energy conservation
and emission reduction

„ The coal consumption for power supply in 2008 was 333.59

gram per kwh., 15.41 gram per kwh. less than the national
level 349 gram per kwh.
„ The energy conservation campaign launched by 19 power
plants has saved 1.16 million ton coal equivalent, which
reached 192% of the yearly target
„ The unit water consumption of the thermal power unit in 2007
reached 1.33 kilogram per kwh, 50% lower than national
average.
„ The emission thickness of nitrogen oxides reached
international advanced level.
„ The emission thickness of SO2 is higher than the advanced
level of the European developed countries.
„ All the thermal power plants will be built into enterprises
practicing energy saving and environment protection by 2010,
with the coal consumption for power supply 329 gram per
kwh, SO2, soot, nitrogen oxides emission for unit power
generation 1.92, 0.5 and 1.86 gram per kwh separately. All
enterprise will maintain a national and international advanced
level.
