On the afternoon of November 18, 2025, the School of Energy and Mechanical Engineering at Nanjing Normal University invited Professor-level Senior Engineer Wang Sheng, Chief Expert of China Energy Group and Chief Scientist of China Energy Group Science and Technology Research Institute, to deliver a special lecture titled "Atmospheric Pollution Control and Carbon Reduction Technologies for Coal-Fired Power Plants" for the undergraduate students of class of 2025. The lecture was held in Classroom 119 of the Xuesi Building in Xinbei District and was chaired by Professor Zhao Chuanwen, Vice Dean of the school. Professional faculty members, including Professor Lu Ping and Professor Song Tao, also attended the lecture, which aimed to enhance undergraduates' professional awareness and broaden their academic perspectives.

 

Senior Engineer Wang Sheng introduced the main processes of coal-fired power plants, highlighted the efficiency and environmental challenges currently faced by various equipment units, and elaborated on control technologies for sulfur, nitrogen, particulate pollutants, and greenhouse gas emissions. In the context of the "Dual Carbon" goals, he also provided an in-depth analysis of the new challenges posed by biomass and ammonia co-firing technologies for coal-fired power plants and proposed several potential research directions and key scientific issues to be addressed, thereby expanding the research and professional horizons of both faculty and students.

In conclusion, he encouraged students to cherish their campus learning journey, engage in dedicated research, and strive to contribute their wisdom and strength to the innovative development of China's coal-fired power plants and the realization of the "Dual Carbon" goals. The lecture not only enhanced the undergraduates' overall understanding of the value and development prospects of the Energy and Power Engineering program but also stimulated their professional interest and learning enthusiasm. Furthermore, it helped guide students in clarifying their self-positioning and scientifically planning their career development paths.
