International comparison of fossil power efficiency

摘要: The purpose of this study is to compare the energy efficiency of fossil-fired power generation for Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway aggregated), South Korea, United Kingdom and Ireland, and United States. This is done by calculating separate benchmark indicators for the energy efficiency of gas-, oil- and coal-fired power generation. These indicators are aggregated to an overall benchmark for fossil-fired power generation. The benchmark indicators are based on deviations from average energy efficiencies.
