Traditional thermal power generation is characterized by mature technology, wide application, and high carbon emissions. Under the context of dual carbon goals, there is an urgent need for technological innovation in decarbonization. This paper aims to systematically analyze and compare three power generation methods, namely coal-fired power generation by steam turbines, power generation by natural gas turbines and fuel cell power generation. An outlook for future power generation technologies is presented at the end.
