This paper analyzes CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technology and other CO2 mitigation options with three scenarios induced in China from three aspects: CO2 mitigation cost, CO2 mitigation potential and their effects on energy resources. The paper also compares CCS with other CO2 mitigation options. The results of the analysis reveal that CCS is a potential technology to reduce CO2 emission in China. However, there are still some problems needed to be solved, including the high cost, the tremendous extra energy consumption and so on. Hence, the possible solution to the CO2 emission reduction in China may lie in taking various CO2 mitigation options into account and making a better balance among them.
