Abstract

Abstract:

Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is regarded as a very promising technology to reduce CO₂ emission worldwide. It is a win-win strategy to coordinate economic development and environment to achieve effective carbon storage without changing the energy structure. The potential and prospects of CCUS technology are analyzed in the main Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries in this paper, based on the mechanism of CO₂ storage in different formation, and a new evaluation method of CO₂ storage capacity. The result shows that the main BRI countries have great CO₂ storage potential of around 620 Gt. Currently, although CCUS technology is in the initial stage, with the support of government investment and policies, it will make a great contribution to the development of green and low-carbon economy in these countries.

Key words: Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), CO₂ storage capacity, Evaluation method, Climate change
