Summary/Abstract
To support a roadmap for the demonstration of CCS technologies, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), along with the national executive agency (EA), The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), and Implementation Agency (IA), and GreenGen, undertook this China‐specific study to comprehensively analyze the current technical, financial, and policy conditions relevant to a CCS demonstration project. The aim of this project is to provide a view of the present level of preparedness for a CCS demonstration, to identify gaps in technological. scientific, regulatory readiness, to provide capacity building in all aspects of the CCS chain, and to develop a roadmap for CCS demonstration in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
This report presents the results from a one‐year study to provide specific analyses and recommendations for a CCS demonstration roadmap in China which included the following activities:
- review and assess the current status of worldwide CCS activities to provide lessons‐learned and experience for the future development and demonstration of CCS in China;
- propose possible engineering guidelines with detailed steps for the implementation of a CCS demonstration project;
- identify critical gaps, barriers, and associated risks in technical, institutional, legal and regulatory aspects;
- recommend criteria for assessment of carbon capture technologies, and storage capacity to identify priority of demonstration sites and financing needs;
- assess institutional capacity and identify measures to strengthen capacity and public understanding and outreach activities.
