Data on potential of CO2 capture and enhanced water recovery projects in modern coal chemical industries in China

摘要

This data article presents the first systematic assessment on the potential of onshore CO2-enhanced water recovery (CO2-EWR) using pure CO2 streams from industrial separation processes by this evaluation framework. The evaluation framework is developed for CO2 capture, geological utilization and storage (CCUS) project developments, including CO2 emission inventory, site suitability evaluation, and source–sink matching with techno-economic models. The data shows the matched source (CO2 source)-sink (onshore aquifer site) pairs with sites distribution and levelized cost under various scenarios. Data also shows the geographic distribution of source-sink pairs, cost curve, annual cumulative CO2 storage capacity and enhanced water production under various scenarios. Potential large-scale deployments of CO2-EWR projects with low cost in the modern coal chemical industry in China are shown and identified in the dataset. This data article is related to the research article “Cost curve of large-scale deployment of CO2-enhanced water recovery technology in modern coal chemical industries in China” (X. Li et al. 2019).
