Carbon capture and storage for Hong Kong's fuel mix

Abstract

Policy-makers in Hong Kong are considering the fuel mix of electricity generation for the coming decades, but to a large extent have neglected carbon (CO2) capture and storage (CCS). Our analysis finds that a largely depleted natural gas field, having supplied Hong Kong since 1995, should be sufficient for CO2 storage and the connected natural gas pipeline should be capable for CO2 transport. We examine an alternative fuel-mix plan, burning coal with CCS, to demonstrate that CCS could broaden the fuel choices for achieving the same policy goals. Hong Kong could seriously consider CCS before closing the current policy debate.
