Optimal deployment for carbon capture enables more than half of China's coal-fired power plant to achieve low-carbon transformation

日本語

中国の石炭火力発電所を対象に、炭素回収(CCUS)の最適導入配置をモデル化し、設備の半数以上が低炭素転換を実現可能であることを示した研究。地域別・コスト別の導入優先度を明らかにし、実効的な政策設計への示唆を与える。

English

This study models optimal deployment of carbon capture (CCUS) across China's coal-fired power fleet, showing that more than half of the plants can achieve low-carbon transformation under cost-effective allocation. It provides region-specific insights for policy design and investment planning.

日本のGX文脈において

日本では石炭火力の扱いがGX政策の焦点であり、CCUS技術の実用化が急務。中国の大規模実証から得られる最適配置の知見は、日本の既存石炭火力の転換計画や新興国への技術輸出戦略にも応用可能。

In the global GX context

As coal-dependent economies face pressure to decarbonize, this optimization framework informs where carbon capture should be deployed first. The findings are highly relevant to global transition finance and to countries like India and Southeast Asia that still rely on coal.
