IGCC power The new generation of IGCC has a high efficiency rate (more than 2.1
generation 50%), and low pollution emission rate, and incorporates a new type
technology of cost-effective clean coal technology. Meanwhile, there has not
been any project experience in China yet. China is lagging behind
Large-scale in integrated design control, large-scale coal gasification and gas
onshore turbine technologies. These technologies are of strategic importance
and offshore to China and China must acquire them. However, taking into
wind power consideration the lessons learned from the failed import of gasifiers
generation and gas turbines, and the fact that is no operation experience of high
technology efficiency, large-scale IGCC power generation project abroad, it is
important to do both joint-research and independent research in
Highly efficient China, in order to avoid being an experimental laboratory to
thin film solar foreign enterprises.

technologies
The high cost of the solar cell is the major constraint in the
development of solar photovoltaic power generation. More than
90% of the high-purity raw materials used in the solar cell are
imported from other countries. These imported raw materials are
expensive and countries who own the technologies blockade them,
which have resulted in the high cost of the solar cell. Besides, China
lacks key materials and manufacturing equipment, and needs to
further improve the conversion efficiency.
At present, China does not have the key manufacturing technology
for the production of inverters, not much large-scale on-grid power
plant experience, nor does it have a commercial operation model.
In the world, the United States, Germany, and Japan are the main
possessors of these technologies.
The second generation plants which use cellulosic ethanol as liquid
fuel should have wider application. There have been many years
of R&D experiences abroad, and many enterprises are planning/
constructing demonstration plants, although they are not widely
commercialized. The cellulose enzyme technology is one of the
most critical technologies.
