Type of power generation | Features | Advantage | Disadvantage |
Combustion power generation | The fuel burns in the boiler and the steam generated drives the turbine. | Mature technology; Large scale; Simple fuel treatment; Low operating costs. | High cost for emission reduction; Poor fuel adaptability; Large initial investment. |
Gas power generation | The fuel is fermented to produce biogas, which is purified and burned, and then drives an internal combustion engine or a gas turbine. | Low emissions; high efficiency; Wide range of capacity; Small initial investment. | Complex system; The technology of large capacity units is not yet mature; High operating costs. |
