Ensuring safe carbon capture and storage in China

Tsinghua University is partnering with WRI to develop guidelines for China’s deployment of CCS technology. Many have said that we can’t solve the climate change challenge without a solution for coal. Nowhere is this truer than in China, which already uses more coal than the U.S, the European Union and Japan combined. Many experts are now looking at carbon capture and storage—known as CCS—as the ...
