Summary: | The modern coal chemical industry is a typical high carbon emission industry, which has formed a large-scale development in China. In the context of carbon neutrality, it is considered to be an ideal combination mode that captures high-concentration CO2 emitted by the modern coal chemical plants and transports it to oilfields through pipelines, which can both realize the low-carbon development goals of the modern coal chemical industry and reduce the cost of the whole process of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as well as promote the development of CCS in China. Based on the data from modern coal chemical projects and depleted oil basins across China, a model of a pipeline network with optimal layout design was constructed, aiming to achieve specific emission reduction targets. Meanwhile, its economic effects will be analyzed. It turns out that this layout can help achieve an annual emission reduction of 280 million tons of CO2, with an average annual net income of USD 2.20 billion, and a unit net income of USD 7.85 per ton of CO2. A total of 166 pipelines up to 15,783 km in total length need to be built across China. Suitable storage sites can be found within an average radius of 94 km for emission sources. A total of 11,115 km of pipelines needs to be built in the “Three North” areas, accounting for 70.4% of the total pipeline length. |
