The first 10,000-ton class low-pressure adsorption carbon capture project for coal power in China has officially begun construction at Guoneng Zhejiang Ninghai Power Generation Co., Ltd. Named Key Technology Development and Demonstration for Carbon Capture via Adsorption, the project is a collaborative effort involving Guoneng Zhejiang Ninghai Power Generation Co., Ltd, National Institute of Clean-and-low-carbon Energy (NICE) and Longyuan Environmental Protection from Kehua Group. Its goal is to address challenges in scaling up the production of adsorption materials and the carbon capture process, providing essential technological support for the low-carbon transformation of coal power.

The project utilizes the 1,000 MW ultra-supercritical unit of Ninghai Power Generation Co., Ltd, employing high-capacity carbon-based physical adsorption materials developed by NICE, along with a low-energy low-pressure adsorption-vacuum regeneration process. It is expected to achieve a carbon capture energy consumption of less than 300 kWh per ton of CO?. This initiative aims to deliver a more cost-effective, less polluting, and more automated approach to carbon capture in coal-fired power plants, thereby supporting the green and low-carbon transformation of the coal power industry and advancing the development of the CCUS sector.

Additionally, NICE has completed the review of the process package for this demonstration project of Ninghai Power Generation Co., Ltd, marking a significant milestone in the nation's first 10,000-ton class low-pressure, low-energy carbon capture initiative at a coal power facility. Experts unanimously agreed on the feasibility and rationality of the project's technical approach, highlighting its advanced energy consumption metrics and significant demonstration value.

These developments not only showcase the progress made by CHN Energy in carbon capture technology but also reflect its commitment to promoting low-carbon transformation in the energy sector. Through the development and application of these technologies, the project is expected to provide more economical and feasible carbon capture solutions, contributing positively to achieving carbon neutrality goals.
