Abstract
If deep reductions in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are to be achieved, the introduction of CO2 capture and storage in geological reservoirs is likely to be necessary. Several CO2 storage demonstration projects are needed in a variety of geological formations worldwide to prove the viability of CO2 capture and storage as a major option for climate change mitigation. A number of studies have been performed to identify potential worldwide opportunities for early application of CO2 sequestration. China has several low-cost CO2 sources at sites that produce NH3 from coal via gasification. These CO2 sources would potentially be economically interesting candidates for storage demonstration projects if there are suitable storage sites nearby. This study reviews the efforts that have been made in the area of geologic storage of CO2 in China and what measures the government is putting in place to contribute to the reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases.
