CNPC is developing a CCUS hub in the Junggar basin in northwest China, an area with a high concentration of large emitters.
Also at the Junggar hub, CNPC has started construction of a coal-fired power plant carbon capture project, and pipelines and systems for geological storage and enhanced recovery technology applications.
In the second phase, CNPC expects to capture 1 Mt of CO2 per year from its own refineries and coal-fired power plants and 2 Mt of CO2 per year until 2030 from nearby coal power stations, steel mills, cement plants, and hydrogen production facilities.
CNPC aims to expand the hub’s capacity to 10 Mt of CO2 per year by 2040.
CNPC plans to further develop and expand its CCUS hubs in other parts of China by 2030. These include the Daqing and Dagang hubs in the northeast, the Changqing hub in northern China, and the Hainan hub in the south.
