Abstract :
It is said that China is one of the fastest-growing electricity economies. Thanks to the local high-sulfur coal fueling its growth, it also has some of the country´s dirtiest air. However, high-sulfur coal is choking Shandong´s residents and stunting crops, it has also inspired a creative application of coal gasification technology that could help clean up China´s air and quench its thirst for electricity. This paper shows how Zaozhuang´s hybrid chemical and power plant could help clean up China´s energy sector. It is Zaozhuang´s use of syngas that is truly unique, by simultaneously producing a chemical and a considerable amount of electricity
