Sinopec is introducing its CCS technology and projects. It discusses Sinopec's CCS technology progress including fundamental studies, pilot projects, and commercial demonstrations. It then describes three of Sinopec's CCS projects - a 20,000 tonne/year project capturing CO2 from refinery flue gas for CO2-EOR, a 500,000 tonne/year project capturing natural gas CO2 for EOR, and a 40,000 tonne/year pilot project capturing power plant flue gas for EOR. Finally, it discusses Sinopec's plans to deploy two large scale CCS-EOR projects capturing 1 million tonne/year from a power plant and 0.5 million

Background of Sinopec CCS
The great threaten for environment
• CCS is an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas
emission
• China is going to reduce the intensity of CO2 emissions
per unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with
the level of 2005.
• China carries out a series of policies to promote CCS
• The social and environmental responsibilities
• Having CO2 capture resources(refineries, natural gas
with high CO2 content, plant, etc.)
• Having a vast amount of reservoirs suitable for CO2–
EOR and storage, CCS+EOR
