Supercritical CO2 power plant: Powering the future of energy

Carbon dioxide has become a key factor in power generation. Its supercritical form is now used as a working medium to replace steam in power units, delivering higher efficiency. The world's first commercial facility using this technology has been running stably in Southwest China for half a year, now operating with two units for waste heat recovery in a steel plant. Known as "Chaotan One," the technology is backed by a team dedicated to powering the future of energy. Watch this report by CGTN's Zheng Yibing on the team behind this energy breakthrough.
