Using agent-based modelling to simulate the emission reduction potential of CCUS technologies in China under alternative policy packages by Changgen Dong, Zhuoluo Sun, Jingjing Jiang, Yang Yang

“…The possible biases of the traditional prediction model were corrected incorporating the structural changes in industrial product demand and the marginal abatement cost curves of traditional emission reduction technologies for the four major industries into the ABM model. The simulation results indicate that under each of the ten possible scenarios, China’s CCUS technologies will reach 100% penetration in the four mentioned industries by 2060, with the emission reduction potential fluctuating between 2222 and 1568 Mt of CO _2 (corresponding to 40% and 10% share of thermal power, respectively). …”
