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.
