Achieving Low-carbon Development In APEC’s Communities By Using Higher-efficiency And Cleaner Gas-fired Cogeneration Technology Sun Yang Department of International Cooperation National Energy Administration People’s Republic of China APEC P roject EWG 2012
Project introduction APEC economies are addressing the threat of global climate change by many technologies and methodologies. Gas-fired cogeneration is an advanced technology. – provide cleaner electricity to the grid – provide centralized heat/cold supply to the residents and buildings – effectively reduce carbon intensity Questions/issues to be addressed before this technology widely promoted and applied – How can this advanced technology be applied effectively as a solution to meet the needs of low-carbon communities? – How to assess and calculate the amount of carbon emission to be reduced by application of this technology? The objective of this project: to create a framework of necessary theoretical basis for the widely application of the gas-fired cogeneration projects in APEC economies.
Scope of works Low Carbon Regulations. – Research on existing low carbon regulations in both APEC countries and in China, especially regulations related to the development of natural gas cogeneration technology Natural Gas Cogeneration Technology. – Research on the natural gas cogeneration technology, including its technical principles, application status and development potentials, assessment on the economic & environmental benefits of the natural gas cogeneration technology as well as its contribution to the city and community GHG Emission Reductions Methodology – Identification the major barrier to develop the natural gas cogeneration technology and propose a way to reduce the barrier, development of an internationally acknowledged methodology to quantification of GHG emission reductions of the technology
