Carbon Peak Carbon Neutrality Technology Support Roadmap Released!

Recently, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other nine departments jointly issued the "Science and Technology Supporting Carbon Peak Carbon Neutralization Implementation Plan (2022-2030)", drawing an implementation roadmap for the scientific and technological support for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality through 10 actions

The "Implementation Plan" proposes specific technical breakthrough directions in terms of clean and efficient utilization of coal, low-carbon and zero-carbon chemical industry, and high-value carbon dioxide conversion and utilization technologies

1.

In view of China's coal-based resource endowment, there is an urgent need for green and low-carbon energy transformation

In terms of clean and efficient utilization of coal, strengthen basic, original and disruptive technology research on advanced, efficient, low-carbon, flexible and intelligent utilization of coal

2.

In terms of hydrogen energy technology, research and develop high-efficiency and low-cost hydrogen production technology from renewable energy, large-scale physical hydrogen storage and chemical hydrogen storage technology, large-scale and long-distance pipeline hydrogen transportation technology, hydrogen energy safety technology, etc.

3.

In terms of low-carbon and zero-carbon chemical industry, for petrochemical, coal chemical and other high-carbon emission chemical production processes, research and development of renewable energy large-scale hydrogen production technology, crude oil refining short process technology, multi-energy coupling process technology, research and development of green biochemical technology and Intelligent low-carbon upgrade and transformation technology

In response to the green and low-carbon development needs of key industrial industries such as chemical industry, the "Implementation Plan" proposes to focus on the substitution of raw materials and fuels, short-process manufacturing and low-carbon technology integration and coupling optimization, and deeply integrate big data, artificial intelligence, fifth-generation mobile communications, etc.

Focusing on the future, the "Implementation Plan" also mentions that it will carry out cutting-edge disruptive low-carbon technology innovation actions, focusing on the latest breakthroughs in basic research in key directions such as new energy development, carbon dioxide capture and utilization, and cutting-edge energy storage

The "Implementation Plan" proposes to study green hydrogen production technologies based on synthetic biology and direct solar energy production; study the use of electricity to synthesize fuel and chemical technologies; study carbon dioxide conversion technologies based on bio-manufacturing, and construct photo-enzyme and electro-enzyme synergy Catalysis, bacteria/enzyme and inorganic/organic material composite system carbon dioxide conversion system, preparation of starch, lactic acid, ethylene glycol and other chemicals; research on water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen as raw materials to directly and efficiently synthesize green renewable fuels such as methanol technology

Through the implementation plan, major breakthroughs in key low-carbon core technologies in key industries and fields will be achieved by 2025; by 2030, further research and breakthroughs will be made in a number of carbon neutral frontier and disruptive technologies, and a number of low-carbon technologies with significant influence will be formed Solutions and Integrated Demonstration Projects
