00:00A set of supercritical carbon dioxide power generation units began commercial operations on Saturday in southwest China's Gishu province, making the country a pioneer in the global commercialization of this technology.
00:15Supercritical carbon, also known as chowtan-first, is a unique fluid state of carbon dioxide that can only be generated at a specific temperature and pressure.
00:25Scientists aim to take advantage of its high capacity for mutability between liquid and gaseous state to use it in energy conversion.
00:36By leveraging these properties, the new power generation units, which capture waste heat from industrial processes, achieve higher efficiency than conventional steam-based systems.
00:47According to Shan Xiaodong, deputy director of the Industrial Development Department at Dongfang Electric Corporation, the use of this volatile product represents a milestone in energy generation and could radically change the country's key sectors.
