This report examines how low-carbon technologies have
been introduced, adapted, deployed, and diffused in three
greenhouse gas-intensive sectors in China: supercritical/ultrasupercritical (SC/USC) coal-fired
power generation technology; onshore wind energy technology; and blast furnace top gas recovery turbine (TRT)
technology in the steel sector.
This brief frames how carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) might be regulated within the
Chinese environmental policy context, with an emphasis on
ensuring protection of people and the environment.
Leading U.S. experts on China will brief journalists Tuesday on Beijing’s climate policies and the actions it is taking to combat climate change both domestically and internationally.
