48453-001 - Promoting and Scaling Up Carbon Capture and Storage Demonstration: Technical Assistance

The TA cluster focuses on capacity development support to the National and Local Joint Engineering Research Center for CCUS (NLJERC-CCUS) at Northwest University; and the feasibility assessment of a large-scale CCUS demonstration project at a plant of Yanchang Petroleum Group (YPG), which is identified in the road map and by NDRC as a priority demonstration project and is currently under development. Subsequently, the TA cluster is set to provide further support to future CCUS demonstration projects in the coal-fired power subsector and coal-chemical industry. The TA cluster modality is adopted to allow the inclusion of additional large-scale demonstration projects, beyond the initial Yanchang CCUS Project (YCCUSP), and to prepare a program of interrelated projects, in line with the 2016-2030 action plan for energy technology revolutionary innovations. The TA is well aligned with ADB's Strategy 2020 and its development agenda of achieving environmentally sustainable growth.
