On November 12, a grand ceremony was held for the handover at the intermediate stage and the launch of the 200,000 tons per year carbon dioxide capture and utilization (CCUS) project at Sinopec North China Petrochemical Company. At the ceremony, a representative from CNPC First Construction read out the application submitted by CCCC ； Beijing Xingyou Supervision’s Preliminary Quality Assessment Comments ； The design, construction, supervision, and project owner’s representatives jointly signed the project handover certificate. All staff watched a documentary on the project construction together. As a key project under the **\"Dual Carbon\" strategy and China National Petroleum Corporation’s green development plan, this project will be able to capture 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year once it is in operation. The amount of carbon dioxide reduced is equivalent to planting nearly 8 million trees. The carbon dioxide with a purity of over 99% will be sent to the North China oil fields for use in enhancing oil production, thereby achieving a win-win situation of reducing emissions in the refining industry while increasing oil output in the oil fields. At the same time, the project provides a \"North China model\" for the large-scale application of CCUS technology in the refining and chemical industry in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, fully meeting the requirements for coordinated development in this area. It will contribute to optimizing the regional energy structure and improving air quality.
