In the context of "China's carbon peak and neutrality" objectives, tasks of collaborative transformation for existing thermal power generation units are becoming increasingly urgent. Seeking carbon emission reduction technologies for coal-fired power stations has already become the trend of the Times. Given the huge amount of CO2 emission, a decline in CO2 emission has been the top priority among tasks of emission reduction.

Academia has begun to realize that non-CO2 gas emission reduction can also play a significant role in carbon emission reduction with the advancement of the scientific and technological base. Transformation for conventional thermal power generation units is still dominated by taking measures for more flexible operation (low-load steady-state operation etc.), while the environmental problems arising from operation under non-design conditions are gradually becoming the focus of the research. People from all walks of life have reached a consensus to break the thermal-electric coupling relationship of cogeneration units that has a vital bearing on the people's livelihood in the heating season. In particular, optimization research combined with the characteristics of energy storage technology is gradually becoming an essential aspect of the industry. The coal gasification technology and biomass (solid wastes) blending technology can respectively bring about special strategic values in pre-combustion carbon capture and "zero-carbon" energy source. As an unconventional chemical energy utilization form, the fuel cell utilization technology is conducive to energy storage and regulation and is also deemed as the utilization form with a specific development potential under the multi-energy coupled framework in the future.

To this end, Wang Jinxing, a researcher from the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is invited to be the contributing co-chief editor by the Editorial Board of Southern Energy Construction, to plan and preside over the special issue of "Low-Carbon Collaborative Transformation Technology for Thermal Power Generation Units." This special issue, for which the wisdom from relevant industry experts will be widely gathered, and the latest research outcomes and critical reviews from front-line teachers in universities and colleges, engineers taking up scientific research posts in enterprises, and personnel from enterprises' R&D departments will be shared, will be formally published on Sep. 25, 2022.
