Coal travels through the air; electricity powers the whole of China.

Recently, Jia Qinglin, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, emphasized during a field inspection in Zhejiang that great efforts must be made to enhance the scientific nature of the CPPCC’s work, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all sectors, and strive to make greater contributions to transforming the pattern of economic development, advancing ecological civilization, and formulating and implementing the 12th Five-Year Plan. During his visit to the Xin’anjiang Hydropower Plant of State Grid East China Power Grid Co., Ltd., Jia Qinglin highly commended the role of ultra-high-voltage power grids in the large-scale, long-distance allocation of energy resources.

China Biofuel Ethanol Market Research Report, 2010–2013

China’s cellulosic ethanol industry holds enormous potential: by 2020, it could replace 31 million tonnes of gasoline, reducing the country’s dependence on imported oil by 10% and cutting annual CO2 emissions by 90 million tonnes.

Natural gas leakage rapidly initiates microbial digestion reactions.

New findings suggest that, during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, propane and ethane trapped in the deep ocean provided a rapid initial boost to bacterial degradation of the spilled hydrocarbons, potentially priming bacterial populations over time to take on the more complex hydrocarbon compounds.

Pollution reduction will be pursued through three main avenues.

On the 16th, at the Sixth China (International) Forum on Environment and Development held here, Zhou Shengxian, Minister of Environmental Protection, stated that during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, pollution reduction efforts will be further advanced in three key areas: the selection of reduction targets, the implementation of reduction measures, and the assignment of accountability for reduction. These efforts will be integrated with the control of total emissions of major pollutants, the improvement of environmental quality, the prevention of environmental risks, and the protection of the public’s environmental rights and interests.

Energy Storage—A Hot Investment Area for the Future of Clean Energy

So-called energy storage primarily refers to the process of converting electrical energy into other forms—such as chemical energy, potential energy, kinetic energy, and electromagnetic energy—through specific technologies. This conversion endows the stored energy with the characteristics of spatial transferability (without reliance on grid transmission), temporal transferability, or controllability of quality, enabling it to be released at the appropriate time and location in a manner that matches electricity demand—in terms of power, voltage, AC or DC—and thereby providing long-term or temporary power supply to power systems and end-use facilities and equipment. Examples include battery energy storage, flywheel energy storage, pumped hydro storage, and compressed air energy storage, among others.
