China Huadian Hongkong Company (CHDHK) is to build a $2bn 1.3 GW coal-fired power plant in Bangladesh.

The state-run Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) has signed a joint venture agreement with the Chinese firm to build the plant at Moheshkhali Island in Cox’s Bazar district, 415km south east from Dhaka.

The project, the first undertaken by CHDHK in Bangladesh, is expected to be completed inside four years.

Bangladesh State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said that Maheshkhali is planned to be transformed into an energy hub within the next three to four years.

Earlier this year, the state-owned Coal Power Generation Company Bangladesh (CPGCBL) had begun contruction on a 1.2GW Matarbari power plant, also in Cox's Bazar District.

The $4.33bn Matarbari ultra super critical coal-fired power plant will feature two units of 600MW each.

Bangladesh, which is currently facing a power shortage of between 1,000MW and 1,500MW a day, is planning to provide electricity to all of its citizens by 2021.

chinese are making fool of poor countries by supplying their own old coal fired power plants .

you can build a zillion coal fired power plants in bangladesh. the real issue is the FOREX to cover the import of coal. The FOREX is not coming from exporting to China

2 billion for a 1.3 GW coal plant is a loot. Coal plants are cheaper to build and opex(buying coal) in the main cost. India build latest coal plants at under 900Mill $ a GW. For this rate you better be getting something sweet.

ultra super critical coal-fired power plant

That would be at the level of latest matured tech in coal fired power plant. China has been working very hard at clean coal technology. And technology advances in that would be good news for third-world countries.

Also, coal can be turned into oil for fuel. Germany did that in WW2.

Tianjin's coal-fired integrated gasification combined cycle power plant has set a new record, with running 3,917 hours or around 163 days continuously, the longest such operation duration in the world.

As China's first near-zero emission IGCC demonstration project, the Tianjin IGCC is a major part of the Green Coal Power Program initiated by Huaneng Group in 2004. It is also among the most efficient coal-fired power stations globally.

IGCC is a clean coal technology that turns coal into a synthetic gas, removing impurities before the gas is burned in a turbine.

The Tianjin demonstration IGCC power plant started construction in Sept 2009 and was put into operation in 2012, with an installed capacity of 265 megawatts.

State Power Investment Corp

Break through Key Technologies: China’s Independent Development of Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Gains Ground

On the morning of December 25, China’s first level I turbine vane casting of 300MW/F class heavy duty gas turbine successfully passed the appraisal judged by 13 experts from special expert advisory committee of “two units”, Dongfang Electric Corporation, Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited, Harbin Electric Corporation, University of Science and Technology Beijing, China National Machinery Industry Corporation and Fushun Special Steel. This marks China’s solid step of breaking through foreign technology blockade on hot end core component and achieves the independent development of heavy duty gas turbine.

At the appraisal meeting, the members of the expert group reached the consensuses that CLP Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Co., Ltd. (“CLP”), Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suvast Special Alloy Technology Co., Ltd. and other relevant units worked together and overcame difficulties, delivering not only a set of qualified physical blade but also a set of immobilized process system and quality assurance system, which laid a good foundation for the modular-design of turbine blade. As a result, they agreed to qualify the equipment for this appraisal.

Gas turbine, known as the “crown jewel” of the equipment manufacturing industry, represents the highest level of high-end manufacturing, but the core technology has been held by a few developed countries. Although China’s gas turbine development has gone through 50 years, we have simply mastered the manufacturing and assembly of heavy duty gas turbine’s cold end components, but not the core technology of hot end components’ design and manufacturing, and no independent research and development capability has been formed either. The level I turbine vane is a typical hot end component of heavy duty gas turbine, and its core manufacturing technology has long been blocked by foreign countries. CLP, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suvast Special Alloy Technology Co., Ltd. and other relevant units worked together, overcoming several difficulties together and setting a number of records: China’s first independent design of the large-scale level I vane of heavy duty gas turbine; China’s first smelting of the level I vane master alloy with independent intellectual property rights, conquering the purification smelting technology; China’s first independent casting of large-scale level I vane of heavy duty gas turbine, conquering the precision casting technology of large-scale complex blade.

Independent development of heavy duty gas turbine is of great strategic significance for China in becoming a strong manufacturing country, a strong technology country and achieving “Two Centenary Goals”. The Party Central Committee and State Council attached great importance to the independent innovation of heavy duty gas turbine, officially starting implementing the special project of “two units” in 2015; China’s 13th Five-Year Plan listed “two units” as the top of hundred major projects in 2016; central economic work conference emphasized that China would promote high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, and become a strong manufacturing country unswervingly in December 2018. CLP, as a subsidiary unit of SPIC and the implementer of the “two units” special project heavy duty gas turbine engineering, undertakes the glorious mission of independently developing heavy duty gas turbine. The automation of heavy duty gas turbine still has a long way to go. CLP strives to build a collaborative innovation mechanism of the whole industrial chain and gather the strength of the whole country to overcome difficulties together, working hard to realize the dream of independent research and development of China’s heavy duty gas turbine.

It spews CO2 but has no mercury and sulfur output. Win win for plants and mankind. Kudos to China. Coal will power China to greater heights on the global stage.

GreenGen Power Station - SourceWatch

The GreenGen power station (华能天津IGCC示范电站一期) is a 250-megawatt (MW) integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant and proposed 800 MW carbon capture and storage (CCS) plant in Tianjin, China.

Background
GreenGen Ltd. Co. China was established by the China Huaneng and Tianjin Jinneng Investment Company. Peabody Energy joined the consortium in December 2007 as the only non-Chinese participant in the program. The goal of the GreenGen program in Tianjin is to develop a large-scale IGCC–CCS demonstration project in China, at an estimated cost of US$1.5 billion. The program is being carried out in three phases.[1][2]

The first phase is a 250-megawatt integrated gasification combined cycle power plant, which will convert coal into ‘syngas’ — a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen — to be burned in specialized turbines to produce electricity. Construction of the plant began in 2009 and was completed in 2012.[3]

The second phase is a pilot plant designed to send a "clean" stream of hydrogen through fuel cells and turbines to produce electricity, with carbon dioxide being captured for industrial use.[1]Construction of Phase II began in early 2014.[3]

The third phase will be an 800-megawatt power plant with full-scale carbon capture and storage in underground rock layers.[4] The original planned completion date was 2015 but was then pushed back to 2020.[1] The CO2 may be used for enhanced oil recovery at the Tianjing Dagang oil field.[3]

GreenGen was originally seen as a follow-up to the US's FutureGen,[1] which has been cancelled.

[The world's first carbon capture test platform based on ultra-supercritical coal-fired generating units officially entered the commissioning phase]
On December 23, China Resources Haifeng Power Plant carbon capture test platform, built by EPC General Contractor of China Energy Construction Planning and Design Group, using the world's first 20-ton/day membrane separation carbon capture system has successfully captured its first canister of carbon dioxide. This marks the first multi-threaded international carbon capture test platform in Asia; and the world's first carbon capture test platform based on ultra-supercritical coal-fired generating units officially entered the commissioning phase.
