IRSM researchers have investigated and updated CO2 emission sources from 8 sectors in China. Our research team has also collected geologic data of oil fields, gas fields, coal basins, deep saline formations in China. (Geologic data includes area, cap rock, sandstone, porosity, permeability, displacement rate, etc). The research have updated methodologies of CCS capacity calculations and gave a preliminary assessment of geologic CO2 storage capacities across major deep saline sedimentary formations (DSFs), oil & gas basins and coals regions, as well as an inventory of large, industrial CO2 point sources. We integrated all data collected into commercial software named as ArcGIS, and formed CO2 emission source & storage site matching database, which can be inquired at any moment. Those works above have made a solid foundation for economical analysis of CCS technology in China at next step.     

This analysis represents a primary assessment of the potential for CCS technologies to deploy in China and provides a solid foundation on which to build additional understanding in this new and complex area of research.
