CHN Energy is actively advancing a new business model for mobile heating. At present, the Group has launched mobile heating operations at five power plants in Anqing, Yuyao, Puyang, Jiyuan and Zhumadian, with a total heat supply of 85,000 gigajoules. This model breaks through the limitations of traditional pipelines, effectively meeting decentralized and temporary heating needs, and has become an important practice in the Group’s cascade energy utilization.
Mobile heating uses specially designed heat storage tank trucks to recover waste heat from power plants, flexibly supplying users with industrial steam at 300°C to achieve on-demand heat delivery. Anqing Power Plant in Anhui Province commissioned its mobile heating project at the end of 2023, filling a gap in the Yangtze River Delta. The project supplies 34,500 gigajoules of heat annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 260,000 tons each year. Zhejiang Branch, in cooperation with Zhejiang University, developed China’s first particle thermal storage mobile heating unit, which was put into operation at Yuyao Power Plant at the end of 2024, pioneering a new “thermal power + mobile heating truck” value-creation model.
Several power plants in Henan Province are also promoting mobile heating. Puyang Power Plant established Henan’s first mobile heating station at the end of 2023, with a maximum daily steam supply of 50 tons. It has provided 42,100 gigajoules of heat to date, replacing six small gas-fired boilers. Jiyuan and Zhumadian power plants were commissioned in mid-2025, supplying 4,000 gigajoules and 2,000 gigajoules of heat, respectively.
CHN Energy will continue to tap the potential of thermal power facilities, integrate mobile heating with new energy storage technologies, and deploy supporting energy management systems. These efforts will enhance the reliability and scale of heat supply while providing innovative pathways for building a clean and efficient energy system.
