PROJECT IDEA NOTE A. Project description, type ,location and schedule Name of the project: Supercritical power generation in Shanxi Dragon Power Ltd Technical summary of the project Date submitted: 200512-31 The objective of the project is to help Shanxi Dragon Power Ltd adopt the supercritical power generation technique to improve the energy efficiency, to save coal resource, to use coal more efficiently and to reduce the green house gas(GHG) emission. Shanxi Dragon Power Plant LTD has power capacity of 600MW Project description and proposed and plans to carry out the second term construction with capacity of activities(including a technical 2×600MW using supercritical technology, which will increase description of the project ) investment and affect the financial status such as a decrease in IRR, however, it will reduce the GHG emission with increasing power generation. It is estimated that the project activity will reduce coal consumption of 53 g/kWh, or 381.5x103 t/a coal, being equal to 1017 x 103 t CO2/a emission reduction. In addition, in the second term construction air cooling technology will be used instead of water cooling technology, saving a great amount of water resource and being favorable of sustainable development, especially for Shanxi province due to the lack of water resource. Technology to be employed Supercritical power generation is a mature technology with commercial scale. The equipment utilization and the technical reliability can be competed with sub-critical power generation. The supercritical power generation turbine with capacity of 600 MW and the water cooling system made in China has been run in China. The project activity will use 2 x 600 MW turbine with 2 cylinders and 2 steam exits, and air cooling system with electricity efficiency of 41%. This technology is the key project in national power industry. The combined cylinder at high and middle pressure will use the running one in the 600MW turbine with water cooling system and the low pressure cylinder will use model design. Considering environment protection, the combustor with low NOx emission will be used as well as the deSOx, deNOx and dust removing equipments with high efficiency. The major advantages of supercritical power generation are: 1. Decrease of the fuel cost due to the increasing heat efficiency; 2. Decrease of CO2 emission per electricity unit to more than 15% in comparison with the existed coal fired power plant. 3. Decrease of pollutant including SOx, NOx and PM. The equipments are manufactured by Shanghai Electricity Group Company (SEC) who develops the high grade power equipment based on the imported advanced supercritical power generation technology, having reliability in a high degree.

Expected environmental and social benefits Estimate of Greenhouse Gases Abated /CO2sequestered(in metric tons of CO2-equivalent Baseline scenario Annual :up to 2012(including 2012): 1.017million tCO2 Up to a period of 10 years: 10.173million tCO2 Up to a period of 7 years: 7.119 million tCO2 Up to a period of 14years: 14.238million tCO2 which gas emission will be replaced by the proposed CDM project and JI? The proposed CDM project will use supercritical power generation technology instead of sub-critical one, which will greatly reduce the coal consumption and decrease the CO2 emission due to the high efficiency of energy utilization. What would be in the future if without the CDM project? If without the project, the sub-critical power generation technology would be used and a huge additional amount of coal would be consumed, leading to a lower energy utilization efficiency with higher CO2 emission, which is used as the baseline scenario. Expected emission reduction? According to the data from the Shanxi electricity Network, the energy consumption is about 380 g standard coal/kWh, while after adopting supercritical power generation technology, it reduces to 297 g. Based on the conservative calculation using the advanced value of 350 g coal/kWh for the energy consumption, the project activity with capacity of 120MW power generation will save 381,500 tons coal per year or reduce 1,017,000 t CO2-eq/a emission. Because there is no approved methodology for the .project, it is necessary to develop a new methodology. Only to the Carbon absorbing ; forest and land Specific global& local envirommental benefits Which guidelines will be applied? Local benefits Global benefits Socio-ecomomic aspects What social and economic effects The target of CDM project is consist with the development strategy and policy in China and the project activity is suggested in ten and eleven 5 year plan by national and provincial government. The project activity will reduce not only 1,017,000tCO2-eq/a of GHG emission but also a considerable amount of pollutants including SOx, NOx and PM, which will greatly improves the local environment. The performance of the project proposed can reduce GHG emission with lower cost because its low cost in Shanxi, being beneficial of the action to mitigate the global warming. During the performance, enterprise will accelerate its pace to be merged in the world. The project will save a lot of energy, being about more than 381.5 x103t/a coal or the total saving of 7.63 x106 t coals if its lifetime is 20 3 can be attributed to the project and years, or about 2.9 x 109 Yuan RMB based on the coal price of 380 which would not have occurred in yuan RMB/t coal. a comparable situation without that The project will also save the cost and liquid fuel in the project? transportation. It is estimated that 38 thousand vehicles are needed according to 10 t/vehicle. The project can provide 60 job opportunities which will greatly promote the local development. Thus, The project will bring the benefits as follows: to increase the income of the enterprise, strengthen its ability of sustainable development, reduce environment pollution ,create employment and promote the use of advanced technologies. Which guidelines will be applied? The major relevant environmental protection laws, regulation, standards as follows were applied: 1.Design Regulation of environmental protection of construction project (The State Environment Protection Bureau, Document 002, 1987) 2.Management Regulation of environmental protection of construction project (The State Council, Document 253, 1998) 3.Prevention and control regulation of air pollution (April 29, 2000) 4.Prevention and control regulation of water pollution (May 15,1996) 5.Standars for comprehensive air pollutant discharge (GB 16297-1996) 6.The standard for the noise in industrial enterprises (GB12348-90) What are the possible direct effects(e.g.,employment creation,capital required ,foreign exchange effects) What are the possible other effects? Environmental strategy/priotities of the Host Country The project is expected to provide about 60 job opportunities. Reduction of the financial risk in performing COG technology for the Jinyang Group Company during carrying out the project makes the performance of the project to be determined by the policy-making body of Jinyang Group. The other benefits from the project 1. Saving of the liquid fuels for coal transportation due to the saving of coal about 381,500 t/a. 2. It is beneficial of the improvement of enterprise management and the severe training of the staff due to the scientific controlling and monitoring works in performing the CDM project. 3. The use of the air cooling technology instead of water cooling technology will save a great amount of water resource and being favorable of sustainable development, especially for Shanxi province due to the lack of water resource. To pay more attention to environmental protection in a high growth rate of economic development is one of the environmental strategy. The key field for the CDM is in energy efficiency, the new energy and renewable energy resources, the recycle and use of CH4 including coke oven gas and landfill gas. C.
