US-China collaboration fosters three projects
Projects / Policy, July 14 2010 (Carbon Capture Journal)
- Three clean energy technology projects, one relating to CCS, have resulted from a 2009 agreement between the United States and China on a collaborative research effort.
The projects are a joint research effort between two U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories - the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) - and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Directors from DOE’s NETL and PNNL recently met with representatives of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to embark on multiple projects aimed at accelerating development and deployment of coal conversion, emissions capture, and carbon storage technologies.
The research team, called the Clean Energy Partnership, will undertake three projects as part of the agreement, which has a five-year term and emphasizes growing collaborative energy R&D between the two nations:
In the first project, researchers will evaluate converting an enhanced-oil-recovery site at China’s Jiangsu oilfield into a geologic storage site for carbon dioxide emissions. Other geologic sites in China also will be evaluated to provide better understanding of the challenges and costs of deploying CCS in China.
The other two projects related to gasification of biomass and converting synthetic gas into natural gas.
