Breaking a century-old formula! Chinese engineers have developed a new generation of ultra-efficient power units powered by supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂)  – "Super Carbon-1." This is the world's first sCO₂ power generation unit, generating 85 percent more electricity from the same heat and delivering over 50 percent higher net power output. Smaller equipment, higher efficiency and groundbreaking innovation in energy technology – the future of energy starts here!
