Summary, in English

Nowadays China is increasingly facing strong international pressures to reduce carbon emissions, standing at the cross-road of climate change issues: how to fulfill the emission reduction goal without undermining and blocking its ambitions on sustainable economic development. Facing this situation, carbon capture and storage（CCS）can be a new weapon for China to win the battle of climate change mitigation. Based on the description and analysis on the ongoing development of CCS and its regulatory framework in China, we may draw a conclusion on the important problems at present and what China can do to achieve a sustainable development of CCS projects in the future. The key issues in the future might focus on the CCS legal framework, the public participation and the international cooperation.
