Report from our correspondent: On May 15, the Guangdong Province Carbon Capture Test Project was officially put into operation in CR Power Haifeng Power Plant, marking the official operation of Asia's first multi-threaded carbon capture technology test platform based on ultra-supercritical coal-fired power generation units, and becoming one of the world's three largest carbon capture technology medium-scale test bases, the other two being the NCCC and the TCM.

 
The project is funded by CR Power Holding Co., Ltd. and jointly developed and constructed by the UK-China (Guangdong) CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) Center and the China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute. The total investment of Phase I is about 100 million yuan, with a capture capacity of 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. At the project ceremony, the parties involved also signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation to Promote Open Technology CCUS Demonstration Project.

 
CCUS is a new and important technology for carbon dioxide emission reduction, which is of positive significance for controlling global climate change and greenhouse effect. This technology has received worldwide attention. The US, the UK, Australia, the European Union and other developed countries and regions have promulgated the development strategies for CCUS technology. In recent years, China has also engaged many enterprises and scientific research institutions in relevant technology research and development and application demonstration through government macro-control and support.

 
It is reported that in September 2013, Guangdong Province began to cooperate with the UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC). CCUS Science and Technology Demonstration Project was jointly carried out in CR Power Haifeng Power Plant by the UK-China (Guangdong) CCUS Center, China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute, the University of Edinburgh and CR Power. As the world's third international test platform for carbon capture technology after the United States and Norway, Guangdong Carbon Capture Test Platform can attract scientists from various countries to test and compare various carbon capture technologies in order to find the best technical scheme and materials and equipment to reduce capture costs and energy consumption, which will produce an important impact on Guangdong, China and even the world in addressing with climate change and promoting the development of CCUS technology.
