China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) has brought online the world’s first commercial supercritical CO2 power generator, it has been reported.

The generator, which uses [supercritical] CO2 instead of steam to transfer heat, has been connected to the grid from a steel production plant in China’s south-western province of Guizhou to produce electricity from waste heat, the South China Morning Post has reported.
