Taizhou 500kt per year post-combustion carbon capture demonstration project

To actively promote the strategy of carbon neutrality, the high-carbon emission industry, represented by thermal power plants, is in urgent need of green and low-carbon transformation and development. Carbon capture technology serves as a crucial support for ensuring energy security while achieving carbon neutrality in China. However, after years of development, this technology still faces challenges such as high energy consumption and difficulties in long-term operation, along with a lack of large-scale demonstrations. In response, CHN ENERGY has proactively engaged in technological advancements and established Asia's largest carbon capture demonstration project at the Taizhou Power Plant, with a capacity of 500,000 tonnes per year. Since its official operation in June 2023, the project has been running stably for over 400 consecutive days, with a capture thermal consumption of 2.35 GJ/tCO2 and an electrical consumption of 51.5 kWh/tCO2. It has broken through the bottlenecks of long-term operation in large-scale carbon capture projects, leading the traditional energy industry toward a green and low-carbon transformation.
