To actively promote the strategy of carbon neutrality

the high-carbon emission industry

represented by thermal power plants

is in urgent need of green and low-carbon transformation and development. Carbon capture technology serves as a crucial support for ensuring energy security while achieving carbon neutrality in China. However

after years of development

this technology still faces challenges such as high energy consumption and difficulties in long-term operation

along with a lack of large-scale demonstrations. In response

CHN ENERGY has proactively engaged in technological advancements and established Asia’s largest carbon capture demonstration project at the Taizhou Power Plant

with a capacity of 500 000 tonnes/year. Since its official operation in June 2023

the project has been running stably for over 400 consecutive days

with a capture thermal consumption of 2.35 GJ/tCO2 and an electrical consumption of 51.5 kWh/tCO2. It has broken through the bottlenecks of long-term operation in large-scale carbon capture projects

leading the traditional energy industry toward a green and low-carbon transformation.
