This was stated by Hu Weidong, Vice President of Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC) that has been actively engaged in exploiting Pakistan's energy resources. He said Pakistan's coal fired power projects are environment friendly because clean combustion technology with high efficiency and capacity is being used which is robust with zero emissions.

He was briefing a media delegation from Asia Pacific countries during their visit to company in China's Sichuan province. DEC is China's one of the 53 State's Owned Enterprises and it attaches top priority to protect environment during the production of electricity.

It is one of the world largest power generating equipment manufacturers and power plant contractors that has major role in the development of coal-based projects in Pakistan. He was confident that after completion of ongoing power projects, Pakistan will have surplus of electricity and its severe energy crisis will end.

Dongfang Electric Corporation was using super critical technically for combustion in generating power units in coal fired power projects and it is modern technology to burn the coal with and zero emission in generation of electricity to Pakistan.
