Carbon-neutral fuel the carbon dioxide in flue gas emissions from power plants would eliminate their greenhouse gas emissions, although burning the fuel in vehicles would release that carbon because there is no economical way to capture those emissions. This approach would reduce net carbon dioxide emission by about 50% if it were used on all fossil fuel power plants. Most coal and natural gas power plants have been predicted to be economically retrofittable with carbon dioxide scrubbers for carbon capture to recycle flue exhaust or for carbon sequestration. Such recycling is expected to not only cost less than the excess economic impacts
Carbon capture and storage development completed in 2018. The source of carbon dioxide is the nearby Changling gas field, from which natural gas with about 22.5% CO is extracted. After separation at the natural gas processing plant, the carbon dioxide is transported to Jilin via pipeline and injected for a 37% enhancement in oil recovery at the low-permeability oil field. At commercial capacity, the facility currently injects 0.6 MtCO per year, and it has injected a cumulative total of over 1.1 million tonnes over its lifetime. The Sinopec Qilu Petrochemical Corporation is a large energy and chemical company currently developing a carbon capture unit
