Blue Carbon GGR —— from NSW FGD/EGC to Blue-C CCS/DACCS
ZCEIU NSW FGD/EGC has CCS spillover function: first-of-a-kind deployments of coal-fired power plant FGDs (6GW) had been commercial operated since January 2000, and the real ship sea trial of marine EGC in 2011.

2020 report of IEA

What does ZCEIU's 30 years journey from FGD to CCS illustrate?
The IEA Report (CCUS in clean energy transitions, 2020) tells us:

FGD is comparable to CCUS in terms of its complexity, sectors of application and technological characteristics.
The success story and spillover knowledge of FGD deployments are necessary for the successful deployment of CCUS.

Why is blue-carbon GGR is the real promise of a net-zero target?

  • Blue Carbon – carbon sinks from marine ecosystems (biotic and abiotic factors), accounting for more than 93% of the earth's total carbon sinks; Its use is the climate mitigation direction that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) requires for attention and commitment to promoting.
  • As a prerequisite for the Paris climate goal, achieving net-zero goal by 2050 requires a huge amount of carbon dioxide to be reduced and sequestered, making the use of the earth's largest carbon sink - blue carbon - marine ecosystems sink, essential.
  • Therefore, the use of blue carbon to achieve a clean energy transition – power station-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) – has been pursued by global climate mitigation actions for 30 years, but has not been able to overcome barriers of economic and environmental costs.
  • ZCEIU iteratively innovated Blue-C solution can now achieve the goal of blue carbon utilization: It uses only natural seawater to realize full-process CCS (DACCS) on the scale of power stations, with the features of low-cost deep decarbonization, complying with international conventions and regulations, and eco-friendly.
  • Advancing Blue-C solutions will also facilitate accelerated deployment of various CCUS technologies (comparable precedent of accelerating FGD global deployment) and facilitate synergistic development with renewable energy.

    Ocean-based thermal power FGD - an accelerator for global FGD Deployments at a large scale
    • Over 20 years of operation proved that NSW FGD, which uses only natural seawater to reduce emissions without secondary chemical pollution, has higher desulfurization rates than FGD processes that rely on chemicals. Moreover, it can lower the cost by about 80%.
    • Through the demonstration of NSW FGD projects at the large-scale thermal power plants, NSW FGD has started and promoted the deployment of various FGD in the thermal power industry of China, facilitating the acceleration of the deployment of global land-based FGD.
    • Seawater scrubbing FGD thus becomes BAT.

    Ocean-based ship exhaust reduction, ensuring a win-win situation for MARPOL and climate mitigation.
    • Only use natural sea water to scrub ship exhaust, remove sulfur dioxide and more than 90% of "black carbon" (BC), and prevent BC super greenhouse effect from accelerating global warming.
    • Suitable for all types of marine vessels to use various high and low sulfur fuels for implementing the United Nations global shipping sulphur limit, ensuring that the "MARPOL Convention" and the "Paris Climate Agreement" are not be mutually exclusive.
    • On November 8, 2012, released by Mr. Sigan Peng of MPT when he was invited to speak at Stanford University.

    Ocean-based Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage, affordable "Net Negative Emission"
    • Powered by alternative energy such as wind and solar, deep and low-temperature seawater will be extracted to scrub and absorb CO2 from the air and then go back into the ocean to achieve carbon storage. The NSW way can change DACCS from the most expensive decarbonization to a low-cost one.
