Carbon emission efficiency of thermal power generation in China

Specifically, each power plant is clustered into a certain region. As a result, 6 power plants are in Northeast China, 16 power plants are in Eastern China, 6 power plants are in Central China, 12 power plants are in Northern China, and 2 power plants are in Southern China. China''s coal is mainly produced in the north, therefore, thermal power
