『Abstract
CCS is seen as an important and strategic technology option for
China to reduce its CO2 emission, and has
received tremendous attention both around the world and in China.
Scholars are divided on the role CCS should play, making the future
of CCS in China highly uncertain. This paper presents the overall
circumstances for CCS development in China, including the threats
and opportunities for large scale deployment of CCS, the initial
barriers and advantages that China currently possesses, as well
as the current progress of CCS demonstration in China. The paper
proposes the implementation of a limited number of larger scale,
fully integrated CCS demonstration projects and explains the potential
benefits that could be garnered. The problems with China's current
CCS demonstration work are analyzed, and some targeted policies
are proposed based on those observations. These policy suggestions
can effectively solve these problems, help China gain the benefits
with CCS demonstration soon, and make great contributions to China's
big CO2 reduction mission.
