China currently relies mainly on coal to generate electricity.
But the national situation is very complicated. On the one hand, we depend on highly polluting coal to produce electricity. On the other hand, we have large-scale water conservation projects, such as the Three Gorges. are also major power generation projects.
In Guangdong, we have started using incinerators to produce electricity from waste. Although burning waste can produce electricity, air pollution is very high.
In some large cities or ecological zones, we also have a large amount of new energy sources, such as wind power and solar power. In particular, wind power may become common in China in the future.
At the same time, before the opening, there were a large number of nuclear power plantsthanks to Soviet aid and self-construction.

Electricity production in China is mainly based on hydroelectric and thermal power generation. Thermal power generation refers to a method of generating electricity that uses thermal energy generated when combustible materials are burned and converts it into electrical energy through a power generation device. Thermal energy production still has enormous potential.
China is rich in coal resources. In 1990, it produced 1.09 billion tonnes of coal, of which only 12% was used for electricity generation. Thermal power generation is divided into those that simply provide electricity and those that generate both electricity and heat depending on their functions. According to the main engine, it is divided into prodpower generation by steam turbine, power generation by gas turbine and power generation by diesel engine. Depending on the fuel used, there are mainly coal, oil and gas power plants.
