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
