Recently, Xi’an Shaanxi Gear Power Co., Ltd. signed a contract for the system design of the core compression unit used in carbon capture systems for a new energy project developed by CNPC, along with associated coal-fired power and carbon capture facilities. As an important step in implementing the **\"dual carbon\" strategy, this signing marks a crucial advance by Shaanxi Gas Turbine in contributing to the green transformation and upgrading of the energy industry as well as in the development of a new energy system, thereby providing strong momentum for China to achieve its \"dual carbon\" goals. In the face of the urgent challenge of global climate change, CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) has emerged as a key technology that serves as a crucial approach to addressing the emission reduction challenges in the energy sector. By capturing carbon dioxide, processing it further, or storing it permanently in geological formations, CCUS helps prevent carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and exacerbating the greenhouse effect. As a model integrated project of \"new energy + coal power + CCUS\" in China, this project is located in Karamay, Xinjiang. It will utilize a million-ton-class carbon dioxide capture system to recover carbon dioxide from the flue gases of coal-fired power units, which will then be used for carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery to increase oil extraction rates. It is also the largest demonstration project in China at present that covers the entire industrial chain, from carbon capture from coal-fired power plant flue gas to its utilization and storage in oil fields, serving as an important model for optimizing China’s energy structure and accelerating its green and low-carbon transition. Once the project is put into operation, it is expected to save 43,800 tons of standard coal per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 107,600 tons. It will also enable the development of a complete industrial chain for large-scale CCUS, achieving simultaneous progress in carbon reduction and efficiency improvement. This will accelerate the establishment of a clean, low-carbon, and sustainable new energy system in the region, contributing to the economic, green, and sustainable development of the power industry. For the CCUS project under this agreement, SHANGGU will make full use of the advantages of its \"1+7\" distributed energy system solutions to develop efficient and energy-saving carbon capture technologies tailored to the specifics of this project. The CCUS core unit system solution provided by Shaanxi Gas Turbine features advanced global pneumatic calculation technology, which enables reduced power consumption for compression compared to traditional systems, while ensuring high capture rates and product purity. The long-term operational stability of the unit is also significantly improved. The reporter learned that as a leading enterprise in the field of distributed energy, Shaanxi Gas Turbine has, in recent years, relied on technological innovation as its driving force. Adhering to the philosophy of high-quality development that emphasizes finding products for customers rather than seeking customers for products, it has focused on the \"dual carbon\" goals and actively pursued research and development in cutting-edge technologies related to distributed energy, such as CCUS for carbon capture, supercritical CO₂, and compressed air energy storage – achieving positive results in this regard.
