China News Service, Beijing, July 5 (Zuo Yu Qing Cheng Chun Yu) On the 5th, Sinopec announced that it will start the construction of my country's first million-ton CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) project - the Qilu Petrochemical-Shengli Oilfield CCUS project. The project is expected to be put into operation by the end of the year. According to reports, the million-ton CCUS project launched by Sinopec this time consists of Qilu Petrochemical’s carbon dioxide capture and Shengli Oilfield’s carbon dioxide flooding and storage. Qilu Petrochemical Capture provides carbon dioxide transportation to Shengli Oilfield for oil displacement and storage, realizing the integrated application of carbon dioxide capture, oil displacement and storage, sealing carbon dioxide underground and driving out oil. In the carbon capture process, Qilu Petrochemical's carbon dioxide recovery and purification unit includes a compression unit, a refrigeration unit and a liquefaction and refining unit, as well as supporting public works. It recovers the carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas of the coal-to-hydrogen production unit, and the purity after purification reaches more than 99%. ； In terms of carbon utilization and storage, Shengli Oilfield uses the principle that supercritical carbon dioxide is easily miscible with crude oil. It plans to build 10 unattended gas injection stations in Zhenglizhuang Oilfield to inject carbon dioxide into 73 nearby wells. At the same time, all oil and gas gathering and transportation systems will use sealed pipelines to further increase the carbon dioxide storage rate. “At present, the preliminary preparation work of the project has been fully launched, and it is expected to reach the conditions for production by the end of this year. ”Sinopec said.
The launch of the Qilu Petrochemical-Shengli Oilfield million-ton CCUS project marks significant progress in my country's CCUS project construction, has a huge demonstration effect on the development of the industry, and is of great significance for effectively improving my country's carbon emission reduction capabilities and building an "artificial carbon cycle" model. With the global response to climate change and carbon neutrality goals proposed, CCUS, as a carbon reduction and carbon sequestration technology, has become a * * An important part of the carbon neutrality action plan. Data shows that there are currently 26 large-scale CCUS demonstration projects in operation around the world, which can capture and store approximately 40 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. As an important measure to effectively promote carbon emission reduction, CCUS can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1 million tons per year based on the Qilu Petrochemical-Shengli Oilfield million-ton CCUS, which is equivalent to planting nearly 9 million trees and stopping nearly 600,000 economical cars for one year. Sinopec said that my country has large petroleum geological reserves suitable for carbon dioxide flooding, and accelerating the development of the CCUS industry will ensure * * Energy security provides support. As an indispensable technical path for carbon neutrality, CCUS has huge emission reduction potential and broad prospects for industrial utilization. Research shows that my country will rely on CCUS to neutralize more than 1 billion tons of carbon emissions in the future, which can effectively promote the cleanliness of fossil energy, the scale of clean energy, and the low-carbon production process.
