Anhui Provincial Economic Research Institute has developed a set of policy recommendations for the low-carbon transformation of Anhui's coal-fired power industry.
Currently, the coal power industry in Anhui supplies over 80% of the province's electricity, and accounts for more than 50% of its carbon emissions. The industry is facing several challenges, including its strong dependence on coal for stable power supply, the urgent need for low-carbon transformation, and the inadequate maturity of key technologies. In this regard, the Anhui Provincial Economic Research Institute (APERI) has proposed a series of measures to support the transformation of Anhui's coal power industry. These measures include strengthening policy support, promoting low-carbon co-firing, facilitating the research and development of new technologies, and developing transformation finance.
