Identifying Near-Term Opportunities for Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) in China
Issue Paper

Achieving the urgently needed emission reductions necessary to avoid the worst consequences of global warming will require efforts beyond first-resort measures such as energy efficiency, conservation, and enhancement of natural carbon sinks. Given the world's current heavy reliance on fossil fuels, nations must pursue a wide range of carbon mitigation strategies that includes Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS). China is well-positioned to be a global leader in the development and deployment of CCS technologies that — with broad support and engagement from the international community — can be an important tool for reducing carbon emissions as the world transitions to truly clean energy technologies.
