Abstract
With the increasing energy demand and environmental pressures caused by consumption of fossil fuels, the world casts their eyes on new energy, hoping to transform the existing energy structure through technological innovation to new energy field, to promote the optimization and upgrading of the world’s energy structure. The new energy in key areas of Chinese high-tech industries includes mainly nuclear power, wind power, solar power, IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle), new energy vehicles and smart grids. The present paper will carry on an in-depth study on IGCC industry technology roadmap in China. Technology roadmap is a kind of technology management tool, expressing the structure and time dimension of technical elements’ evolution with icons. It spans a wide range of applications from a single company to industry, and national and international coalition, from detailed product technology to component technology, as well as the integration of several relevant industry technologies. The roadmap is a kind of multi-layered time-dependent icon. IGCC industry has excellent environmental characteristics and benefits, which are in accordance with the principle of coordinated development between energy and environment. Based on the analysis of current situation, market demand, industry objectives and technical barriers of IGCC technology, we highlight IGCC industrial development model with Chinese characteristics, and concisely propose the major research needs and technology projects of key technology areas in IGCC industry. We highlight IGCC industrial development model with Chinese characteristics, and concisely propose the major research needs and technology projects of key technology areas in IGCC industry. Furthermore, some relevant suggestions on IGCC technology management and industry development are put forward to promote the remarkable progress in the development of IGCC industry in China and build an efficient, economical and clean sustainable energy supply system in line with the requirements of low-carbon economy.
Highlights
With the signing of the Kyoto Protocol (1997) and with the implementation of initiatives passed at global climate summit held in Copenhagen (2009), and the Bali follow-up roadmap (2007), the era of low-carbon economy, has arrived
China is breaking a new path in energy sector by means of highly independent innovation and accelerating the development pace of new energy high-tech industry so as to give impetus to the new energy industry which is designed to become the driving-engine for a new round of economic development in China
The development of Chinese new high-tech energy industries is mainly focused on nuclear energy, wind power, Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), solar and smart grid industry
Summary
With the signing of the Kyoto Protocol (1997) and with the implementation of initiatives passed at global climate summit held in Copenhagen (2009), and the Bali follow-up roadmap (2007), the era of low-carbon economy, has arrived. New energy is a strategic industry, against which we can measure the level of development of high-tech of a country or a region. How to develop low-carbon industry in a coal-dominant country and how to efficiently and reasonably make use of coal, which accounts for 60% of China’s total energy consumption, is of paramount realistic importance. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation technology is one of the most promising clean coal technology. As an advanced clean coal power generation technology, IGCC enjoys unique advantages in the quasi-zero CO2 emissions [3]. It becomes the focus of new energy development of the high-tech industrialization in China. Based on the actual requirements of the national energy strategy and energy industries, the main tasks of technology roadmap for the development of Chinese IGCC include the followings: understanding the status of industrial development, characteristics and trends in the world; analysis of China IGCC development situation; determining the future IGCC development goals through analyses of market demands elements, technical barriers, and research and development needs; drawing IGCC industry technology roadmap (2010-2030) based on industrial objectives, development needs, technical route and other factors; and making recommendations on technology management and industrial development of IGCC
