Abstract

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (hereafter as CCUS) encompass the procedures of capturing carbon dioxide before it is emitted into the atmosphere, transporting it via pipelines or vehicles and finally utilizing it or storing it in a secure manner. CCUS is vital in transitioning the world into more sustainable and low carbon energy production since it serves as a temporary “band-aid” in reducing the impacts of humanity’s high dependence on fossil fuels. The Chinese government has recently committed itself to reach carbon neutrality by 2060 and CCUS technologies will be a critical cornerstone in reaching this substantial goal. Up to 60% of China’s energy supply in 2019 derived from coal, thus an effective CCUS strategy integrated with the 1,110 operational Chinese coal power plants could be decisive in reaching their carbon neutrality goal. This research paper will analyze the most effective best available technologies (BATs) in terms of cost efficiency and practicality, providing a comprehensive report on the optimal steps for China to take in order to reach its carbon neutral goals through CCUS.
