Beijing issues the "Beijing Municipality's Several Measures to Promote the Cultivation and Expansion of the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Industry"

Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology and three other departments issued the “Several Measures for Promoting the Cultivation and Expansion of the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Industry in Beijing.” The “Several Measures” propose increasing research and development efforts on key core technologies of CCUS, encouraging breakthroughs in critical areas such as low-energy, low-cost carbon dioxide capture and high-value, large-scale utilization of carbon dioxide, accelerating the development of key materials for carbon capture like high-performance absorbents, adsorbents, and membrane materials, promoting research on negative emission technologies such as biomass energy carbon capture and direct air carbon capture, breaking through carbon dioxide conversion and utilization technologies like green fuel production, photoelectrocatalytic conversion, and biological fixation, and developing high-precision carbon dioxide monitoring equipment.
