In response to the growing challenges of high energy consumption and exorbitant costs in carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) capture and storage, China has launched a key national science and technology project under the "Eleventh Five-Year" plan. This initiative aims to develop indigenous, cost-effective COâ‚‚ capture and storage technologies to support national emission reduction goals. The project, supported by the National "863" Plan Office of Resources, Environment and Technology, was officially announced on February 28. It focuses specifically on addressing the energy-intensive nature and high costs associated with COâ‚‚ capture and storage.
The project is divided into three main areas: absorption-based capture, adsorption-based capture, and storage technologies. In the absorption capture domain, researchers are working on developing new, highly efficient solvents that reduce energy use and corrosion. This involves molecular modeling, design, and experimental research tailored for coal-fired power plants and industrial sources. Additionally, the project explores innovative methods such as sulfur-carbon integrated removal and membrane-absorption coupling. Large-scale equipment optimization and process improvement are also central, combining advanced measurement techniques, computational fluid dynamics, and experiments to enhance separation efficiency and create energy-saving processes.
For COâ‚‚ adsorption, the focus is on creating high-performance adsorbents with low desorption energy requirements. Researchers are developing materials with high selectivity and capacity, while optimizing the entire adsorption and separation process. This includes designing lab-scale and pilot devices, identifying low-energy operational parameters, and building an integrated technical platform from material development to tower design.
Lastly, the storage component addresses the urgent need for reliable geological storage solutions. The project investigates CO₂ storage in saline aquifers, both on land and underwater. By focusing on independent technological innovation and practical application, it aims to develop cost-effective and geologically suitable storage methods tailored for China’s unique conditions.
This comprehensive approach not only tackles current limitations but also lays the foundation for sustainable and economically viable carbon management systems in the future.
