从“能不能捕”到“更好捕”！12项CCUS新国标落地，7月1日正式实施

Core Viewpoint - The recent approval of 12 national standards for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) by the National Market Supervision Administration marks a significant advancement in the standardization of CCUS technology, which is crucial for achieving China's dual carbon goals. These standards will be fully implemented starting July 1, 2026 [1][2]. Group 1: Standardization and Industry Development - The new national standards provide a systematic response to the practical needs of the CCUS industry, facilitating the transition from engineering demonstration to replicable industrial infrastructure [2][3]. - The standards cover key processes in the CCUS value chain, including carbon capture, transportation, and storage, and establish a unified standard chain for greenhouse gas emission reduction verification [4][5]. - The approval process for CCUS projects is expected to be optimized through standardized procedures, potentially reducing approval times by 30% and minimizing disputes [5][6]. Group 2: Technological Advancements and Market Dynamics - The CCUS industry in China has made significant technological progress, with over 120 planned and operational demonstration projects across various sectors, achieving a capture capacity of approximately 9.4 million tons per year [2][3]. - The focus of competition in the CCUS sector is shifting from mere capture capability to achieving lower energy consumption and more stable operations, with specific projects demonstrating significant efficiency improvements [8]. - The development of standardized performance evaluation methods is anticipated to enhance collaboration within the industry and drive down costs through economies of scale [8].
