Carbon capture

utilization and storage(CCUS) is a key technology for China to peak carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality. A good source-sink matching condition is an important prerequisite for CCUS project deployment. Certain areas in China that have a lot of industrial emission sources without suitable storage sites

long transportation distance will leads to high cost and affects the investment decisions. The cluster construction of CCUS projects can greatly reduce the cost by sharing transport and storage equipment. Further research is needed to evaluate whether cluster construction could promote CCUS development in such areas. This article selected 7 carbon disclosure enterprises in Jiangxi as research targets with proper pipeline layout

to deploy 1 million t/a carbon capture project in each enterprise. Jianghan Basin was selected as the storage site. The results show that

even the transportation distance is as long as 513 km

the carbon dioxide reduction cost for 1 t CO_2 is only 473.04 yuan

and there are further cost reduction potentials. For areas lacking geological storage conditions

cluster construction of CCUS projects can become an important way to help achieve carbon neutrality in the future.
