A Critical Review on Decarbonizing Heating in China: Pathway Exploration for Technology with Multi-Sector Applications

Coal-fired heating is the main method of in China, causing serious air pollution and large amounts CO2 emissions. Decarbonizing important to reduce carbon emissions, choosing a suitable technical scheme conducive early realization neutrality China. Coal gas coal electricity transformation projects were carried out 2017 achieved remarkable effects. This study compares current domestic international clean modes, where heating, electric heat hump biomass solar coupling system are taken into account. The technology potential support aspects, including industrial sector, building capture storage (CCS) technology, publicity explored as well. Regarding actual situation comparative analysis also conducted on different types pumps, then an optimal for urban rural areas proposed. It suggested that area with centralized can install ground source distributed apply photovoltaics pumps (PV-GSHP). Based policies standards support, this calculates emissions 2030 provides detailed relevant parameters. feasibility superiority confirmed by comparison discussion other studies. Moreover, specific measures planning, subsidy, construction, proposed implement scheme. reference mode selection decarbonation could be considered regions or countries.
