China’s ambitions to be a global green technology leader do not yet appear to have extended to the CCS sector. In terms of deployment, it lags other regions, including Europe and North America, and concrete policies to support the sector’s expansion are still lacking, according to assurance and risk management company DNV. The current scale of China’s CCS sector is “immaterial”, with 11 projects in operation accounting altogether for only about 1mt out of 26mt of CO₂ captured per year globally, DNV said in a report, titled Energy Transition Outlook China. “However, given four more CCS facilities are in development, six in construction, and around 100 projects of various scale in demonstratio
