CCS and Climate
Do We Need CCS?
• Climate protection is impossible with current emission trends.
• Global coal investments will lock in high cumulative carbon emissions.
• “Clean” energy investments are a fraction of likely needs.
• CCS and biomass as an emergency brake.

NRDC White Paper

Chinese Sources & SinksOver 1600 large CO2 point sources
CO2 emissions of 3.9Gt/ year
Power Sector Dominates
But Many Large Industrial Sources
• Nearly 400 high concentration sources
• Nearly 200 million tons CO2 production– 43 Coal to Methanol– 12 Ammonia– 2 Coal to liquid transport fuel
• Capture costs much lower for these sources
Sinks Near Large Sources
Sinks Near Large Sources
• > half of the 1600 large sources directly above potential storage formations
• 80% within 80km of sites• Reduces transport costs. Perhaps
$10/tonne of CO2.
Potential CCS Pilots
• Daqing and Jiling oil fields• Jiangyou gas fields• GreenGen IGCC• Langfang IGCC• Donggaun Taiyangzhou IGCC• Shenua Direct Coal Liquefaction
Needs/Recommendations
• CCS regulatory framework• Direct western involvement in
Chinese CCS demos• Tech transfer and joint R&D• Monitoring and verification• Incentives for CCS as part of low-
carbon portfolio
Carbon “Game” has Different Rules
Unlike economic growth, the carbon budget cannot be expanded indefinitely.
Emitting more carbon than your neighbor is not a recipe for success.
China and U.S. have mutual strategic interest in helping each other to minimize carbon emissions.
Success by one country helps all countries.
