Repositioning CCUS for China’s Net Zero future
China has committed to achieving carbon neutrality before 2060, representing a serious pledge
from toplevel leadership while providing an enormous task to realise in just forty years. If CCUS is
to play the intended critical role in China’s net-zero effort, more work needs to be done to achieve
the technology suite’s potential.
