Roadmap for Carbon Capture and Storage Demonstration and Deployment in the People’s Republic of China
Asian Development Bank | December 2015
Abstract
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is taking concerted efforts and making large
investments to peak out its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions around 2030. While current
efforts are prioritizing accelerated energy efficiency and rapid expansion of renewables and
nuclear in the energy mix, the fossil fuel related CO2 emissions are still expected to rise even
under a “new normal” growth strategies in the PRC. This brings in renewed emphasis on
carbon capture and storage (CCS), which is currently the only near-commercial technologies
to make deep cuts (up to 90%) in CO2 emissions from fossil fuel related power plants and
industries. This report draws on relevant technical assistance from Asian Development Bank
(ADB), consultants’ reports, and the work of ADB staff to assess the potential, the barriers
and the challenges in demonstrating and deploying CCS in the PRC. It identifies unique low
cost opportunities, recommends a gradual two phase approach to CCS deployment in the
PRC and, provides complementary suite of policy actions to enable it.
