Clarke Energy China covers all applications for GE engines for the provinces of Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Ningxia, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Chongqing, Guizhou, and Yunnan.
Clarke Energy China covers coal mine gas applications for the whole of the country of China. Clarke Energy’s installations meet the highest levels of environmental performance. Examples of developments include renewable energy facilities on landfill and biogas, high efficiency generation via combined heat and power and coal mine facilities capturing gases which would otherwise have escaped to atmosphere.
As the Chinese economy grows, satisfying the country’s energy appetite is a top priority for the Chinese government. Coal is of much greater importance to China than oil. The country relies on coal to generate roughly three-quarters of its electricity. Imports only account for 2% of China’s coal consumption, with the rest coming from Chinese mines that employ 7 million coal miners. So it’s no wonder that Beijing wants to take advantage of methane, a gas that is a byproduct of coal mining, by using it to power steel mills, heat homes, and fuel public buses and taxis. Until recently, most Chinese coal mines have wasted the methane attached to the coal by releasing it directly into the atmosphere. Safety is one of top priorities for Chinese mining companies.
