[...] Chinaʼs government has highlighted energy efficiency and non-fossil fuel consumption as the ̒main objectivesʼ for the top-level Implementation Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking and Carbon Neutrality 2 and ordered the acceleration of planning and construction of a ʻmodern energy system.̓ C hinaʼs power generation sector has been in the throes of a clean revolution over the past decade, with exception. [...] System flexibility is the ability of a power system to reliably manage a high degree of uncertainty and variations in electricity demand and supply in a cost-effective manner, from ensuring instantaneous stability of the power system to supporting long-term s ecurity of supply 6 , and is central to system reconfiguration. [...] The main constraint for large-scale implementation of biomass-based power generation is the sustainability of raw biomass resources, particularly in terms of the cost and environmental impact of the biomass supply chain 9. [...] In the past decade, the main contributors to the global growth in emissions were a growing energy demand and an increase in the share of coal in the global fuel mix 14.
