National R&D programmes<br />
During China’s 10 th Five‐Year Plan (2001‐05), the National Key Technologies R&D Programme<br />
supported strategic CCS studies by Chinese research institutions, with an emphasis on the<br />
applicability of CCS in China and its potential impact on energy systems and GHG emissions<br />
reductions.<br />
The National High‐tech Development Plan (863 Programme), launched in 1986, is a programme<br />
funded and administered by the government to stimulate development of advanced technologies<br />
in a wide range of fields. The objective of the programme is to reduce China’s dependency on<br />
foreign technologies. The 863 Program advances a wide range of technologies including space,<br />
biotechnology and telecommunications.<br />
Funded by MOST, the 863 Programme supports the development of CCS technology through R&D<br />
on carbon capture (absorption) technologies and storage issues (including geological capacity and<br />
viability of saline aquifers) and safety assessments and monitoring. From 2008‐10,<br />
300 RMB million (USD 43 million) was allocated to CCS within the 863 Programme, with plans to<br />
further support CCS technology development under this programme in the 12 th Five‐Year Plan<br />
(2011‐15).<br />
The 863 Programme energy technology projects include high efficiency gasification. The<br />
programme has provided seed funding to some 30 gasification research projects, including 5 IGCC<br />
demonstrations. Three IGCC demonstrations have been at power plants and two at coal‐toliquids<br />
(CTL) plants (Hart and Liu, 2010) (Table 3). Although none of the proposed plants<br />
supported under the programme have existing plans to store CO 2 upon completion (new<br />
transport and storage infrastructure would be required and may be prohibitive), these projects<br />
may improve capture and other enabling technologies and system integration.<br />
