【 摘 要 】

The natural gas power generation (hereinafter referred to as gas power) industry is an important force in the development process of clean energy in China, and it not only plays an important role, but also faces many challenges in the process of transformation to low-carbon energy. In order to explore the sustainable development path of China's gas power industry in the process of low-carbon transformation, this paper studies the carbon emission intensity of gas power unit in different scenarios by taking GE's three mainstream types of gas turbine units (6F.03, 9F.03 and 9HA.01) as examples, and then compares it with that of coal power unit in the same scenario based on industrial status and development trend. On this basis, the development path of gas power industry in the period of low-carbon transformation is proposed. And the following research results are obtained. First, the proposal of the time limit of carbon peak and carbon neutrality points out the goal and path of future low-carbon transformation in China. As a kind of low-carbon clean energy, natural gas will play a more important role in the process of energy transformation in China. Second, compared with coal-fired power generation, gas power is much more advantageous in emission reduction, so the orderly development of gas-based cogeneration has good direct emission reduction effects. Third, as a kind of flexible power source, gas power provides good guarantee and promotion for the development of renewable energy sources and the active development of gas-powered peak-shaving power stations has a good effect of collaborative emission reduction. Fourth, moderately increasing the proportion of natural gas and gas power in energy consumption before carbon neutrality can effectively exert their collaborative emission reduction effects and generate collaborative emission reduction benefits, so as to optimize energy resource allocation and maximize social welfare. In conclusion, gas power is one of the important ways to utilize natural gas.
