Accelerate the development of CCUS industry to help my country achieve dual carbon goals

A few days ago, Ma Yongsheng, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, chairman and party secretary of Sinopec Group, said in an interview with reporters that CCUS (carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage), as a large-scale carbon reduction technology, will effectively help China achieve carbon peaks.
, carbon neutrality target, China's CCUS industry is developing rapidly at present, but limited by factors such as cost and policy support, it has not yet formed an effective industrialized and large-scale economic utilization.
Demonstration and commercial application of CCUS industry chain, accelerate the planning and layout of CCUS pipeline network and cluster infrastructure construction, improve fiscal and tax incentive policies and legal and regulatory systems, create a good environment for the development of CCUS industry, and help China achieve the "dual carbon" goal
.

The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core attaches great importance to the development of the CCUS industry.
The General Secretary visited Shengli Oilfield on October 21, 2021, and requested to accelerate the development, promotion and application of CCUS technology
.
The "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job in Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutralization" also listed CCUS as an important technical means to achieve the "dual carbon" goal for the first time, and clearly proposed "promoting large-scale carbon capture Set utilization and storage technology research and development, demonstration and industrial application”
.

Ma Yongsheng said that, in general, China's CCUS is in the stage of industrialization demonstration, which is comparable to the overall international development level, but some key technologies lag behind the international advanced level.
The pace of development will form an effective industrialized and large-scale economic utilization, and help China achieve the "dual carbon" goal
.

Ma Yongsheng put forward 5 suggestions from top-level design, technical research, industrial demonstration, facility layout, policies and regulations, etc.
:

The first is to strengthen the top-level design of the CCUS industry
.
It is recommended to formulate an overall CCUS development plan at the national level, support CCUS technology as a major national science and technology project, build a systematic policy framework, and orderly promote the application of CCUS technology in petrochemical, chemical, power, steel, cement and other industries
.

The second is to strengthen key core technology research
.
It is recommended that the national level coordinate the joint research of industry, academia and research, promote collaborative innovation, and carry out core technology research around key links such as low-concentration carbon dioxide capture, industrial utilization, storage, and carbon sink measurement, and promote the technology improvement of the entire CCUS industry chain to catch up with the international advanced level as soon as possible.

.

The third is to promote the demonstration and commercial application of CCUS industry chain
.
Support the construction of CCUS industrial demonstration zones in energy, chemical and other industries, accelerate the construction of CCUS industrial clusters, and gradually incorporate CCUS technology into the green development technology support system of energy and mining and the sequence of strategic emerging industries; list CCUS projects as public welfare projects, smooth flow The project approval channel simplifies the approval process
.

The fourth is to speed up the planning and layout of the CCUS pipeline network and the construction of cluster infrastructure
.
Increase investment in relevant infrastructure, strengthen transportation pipeline network construction, establish a cooperation and sharing mechanism, and drive the formation of a regional CCUS industry promotion center based on pipeline network facilities and storage sites; improve financing channels, set up special government financial funds, and guide investment institutions to increase Great investment support
.

Fifth, improve fiscal and tax incentive policies and legal and regulatory systems
.
Explore and formulate CCUS industry tax incentives and subsidy incentive policies suitable for national conditions and oriented towards carbon neutrality goals, and implement tax relief or carbon emission reduction subsidies for carbon dioxide utilization and storage projects; formulate and improve CCUS industry norms, institutional and regulatory framework systems, and technical specifications to form Unified industry standards
.
