To analyse the economics of carbon capture and storage technologies and the required diffusion level to achieve China鈥檚 net-zero target.

PhD project title:

The prospect of gas shales for carbon capture, utilisation and storage in China to reduce CO2听emissions: Environmental impacts and related risks.

Project description:

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) to decarbonize fossil fuels is an important听energy transition strategy for China in the short term. This research will investigate the听potential of Ordos Basin and Sichuan Basin in China to explore the contribution of fossilbased听CCUS technologies to a net-zero China energy听system policy by 2060 and its听technological development prospects.

My research will assess the following:

  • The CO2 storage potential of sandstone-shale-limestone inter beds in Sichuan and听Ordos basins based on their geological properties such as porosity, permeability and听mineralogy.
    听
  • Examine the lithology and basin evolution of Sichuan and Ordos basins to assess听CO2 trapping mechanisms and storage integrity.
    听
  • Analysing the economics of CCUS technologies and required diffusion level to听achieve China鈥檚 net-zero target.


I will also use an integrated approach to characterise the gas shale properties based ongeochemical analyses and basin modelling using industrial software (Permedia and Neftex). I听will complement my research with the economics of CCUS technologies using energy听economy model (TIAM-果冻影院: TIMES Integrated Assessment Model).
