© OECD/<strong>IEA</strong> 2012 <strong>Facing</strong> China’s <strong>Coal</strong> <strong>Future</strong><br />

Prospects and Challenges for Carbon Capture and Storage<br />

Acknowledgements<br />

This paper is the first <strong>IEA</strong> analysis that focuses on country‐specific trends, opportunities and<br />

challenges for carbon capture and storage (CCS). It follows previous <strong>IEA</strong> publications on CCS and<br />

studies of cleaner coal and advanced coal technologies. The paper benefitted from significant<br />

contributions and support from the China <strong>Coal</strong> Information Institute (CCII) of the State<br />

Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) and The Climate Group China.<br />

In October 2010, the <strong>IEA</strong>, CCII and The Climate Group China jointly organised a meeting in Beijing<br />

to identify the status of CCS technology development in China and explore stakeholder views on<br />

CCS development and future options for CCS deployment. Based on that workshop and follow‐up<br />

interviews and dialogue with key stakeholders in China, the <strong>IEA</strong> developed this information paper<br />

with input and collaboration from CCII, The Climate Group China and several independent<br />

reviewers. The process and consultation for the report included interviews, questionnaires,<br />

desktop research and a review of information from authorities, publications and conference<br />

materials. Questionnaires were distributed to government, research institutions, enterprise and<br />

international organisations. Both questionnaires and interviews asked about stakeholder<br />

viewpoints and attitudes towards CCS; current issues and understanding of CCS technology,<br />

technical feasibility and R&D initiatives; options for financing and commercialisation of CCS<br />

technologies; and related policy and regulatory considerations.<br />

The <strong>IEA</strong> thanks its collaborator, the China <strong>Coal</strong> Information Institute, under the leadership of<br />

President Huang Shengchu, for the considerable input that CCII staff provided for this report. CCII<br />

staff members Liu Wenge and Sun Xin managed this collaboration, with the capable assistance of<br />

Han Jiaye, Wu Jinyan, Zhao Yingchun and Zhang Yan. Wu Changhua and Lorraine Yin from The<br />

Climate Group China also provided important input and collaboration on this project. Consultants<br />

Pamela Tomski and Craig Hart contributed to the sections on financing options for CCS in China.<br />

Dr. Peng Sizhen, Administrative Center for China’s Agenda 21, Dr. Andrew Minchener, Clean <strong>Coal</strong><br />

Centre, Dr. Lei Zhu, Center for Energy and Environmental Policy, Chinese Academy of Sciences<br />

also provided expert review and comment on this work.<br />

The authors would also like to thank <strong>IEA</strong> contributors Bo Diczfalusy, Director of the Sustainable<br />

Energy Policy Directorate, Ulrich Benterbusch, Head of the Office of Global Energy Policy and<br />

Juho Lipponen, Head of the <strong>IEA</strong> CCS unit and Jonathan Sinton, China Programme Manager for<br />

their guidance. <strong>IEA</strong> staff, Keith Burnard, Dennis Volk, and Julian Smith provided valuable<br />

comments, information and suggestions in the development of this paper. Julie Jiang, Tom Kerr,<br />

Brendan Beck, and Brian Ricketts, and the Office of Legal Counsel also played an instrumental<br />

role in the development of this work, and particular thanks go to the Communications<br />

Information Office and the publications team.<br />
