Comparison of gas generation and coal-fired power generation from electricity generation cost and environmental protection

It is to guide the natural gas power generation capacity reaching 110 million kw in 2020 according to "Natural gas development "thirteen five" plan", and the natural gas power generation installed ratio from 4.33% in 2015 rises to 5.5% in 2020. Benefiting from the gas and electricity reform policy, the natural gas power generation will be in the golden period of development during the 13th Five-Year time. In order to further study the impact of electricity generation cost and environmental protection on natural gas power generation, this paper compares the differences between the two power generation types based on an open data. Compared with coal-fired power generation, the economic cost of natural gas power generation is far higher. However, due to environmental factors and the power supply capacity, natural gas power generation in the eastern China is better.
