    [ Hot Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Recently, Shao Lu, a member of the Molecular Recognition and Separation Engineering Committee of the Chinese Chemical Society and a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, led the research group and found that the gas separation membrane prepared by a simple and easy-to-operate new method , which can achieve high-efficiency carbon capture, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the form of a paper
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots focus on chemical machinery and equipment
    In recent years, with the introduction and promotion of "dual carbon" related policies, the concept of carbon emission reduction has gradually penetrated into all walks of life, and enterprises have responded one after another and actively promoted the replacement of coal with electricity and coal with gas, in order to achieve the goal of Control carbon dioxide emissions at the source
    .
    However, this is not the only way to reduce carbon emissions.
    Carbon dioxide capture, storage and utilization technology (CCUS) is another effective solution
    .

     

    According to research by the International Energy Organization, in order to achieve near zero emissions or carbon neutrality on a global scale, CCUS must undertake 15%-30% of the carbon dioxide processing tasks, and the annual carbon capture capacity will reach at least 1 billion tons
    .
    But at present, the progress of CCUS projects has been slow globally.
    As of 2021, there are only about 20 CCUS facilities in operation, and there is a huge demand gap
    .

     

    "Although it is impossible to provoke the role of carbon emission reduction, vigorously developing CCUS is still an inevitable choice to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality", this is the general attitude towards CCUS technology in China
    .

     

    On the one hand, in order to achieve carbon neutrality in 2060, China’s annual net emission reduction should reach 423 million tons to 696 million tons.
    After the replacement of clean energy and afforestation to sequester carbon, CCUS is the third option
    .
    On the other hand, even if clean energy alternatives are feasible, it is still very difficult to achieve zero carbon emissions in industrial production processes, and afforestation requires consideration of land and other conditions.
    Therefore, under the constraints of various practical factors, the advantages of CCUS are highlighted.

    .

     

      At this stage, with the strong support of the state, CCUS-related theoretical research and technical routes are gradually improving
    .
    In terms of carbon capture, high energy consumption and high cost are common problems.
    PetroChina is organizing to promote the construction of a 3 million-ton large-scale application demonstration project, which will seek a new way to reduce the energy consumption of this technology
    .
    In terms of carbon utilization, "research on key technologies for producing aromatic hydrocarbons from 10,000-ton carbon dioxide", "new technologies for efficient CO2 synthesis of important chemicals", and "carbon dioxide flue gas microalgae emission reduction technology" and other supporting projects have taken the lead, and the key investment directions in the future have been basically clarified
    .

     

      Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment also mentioned at a regular press conference in February that it will continue to improve green fiscal and taxation and green financial policies, and support companies that carry out carbon capture and storage projects to enjoy income tax incentives
    .
    In addition, the carbon trading market has also created space for CCUS, and companies with related projects can obtain additional funds through carbon emissions trading, so as to nurture the continuous upgrading of technology
    .

     

      The industry believes that with the continuous expansion of the application scale of CCUS technology, its cost bottleneck is expected to be broken, and the economic feasibility will be improved
    .
    Moreover, the time span for the realization of the "dual carbon" goal is very large.
    As an indispensable link in the carbon neutral industry chain, CCUS is already a market with definite and huge development potential
    .
