CHINA-SOUTH CHINA SEA-OFFSHORE CARBON STORAGE (CN)
(230601) -- SHENZHEN, June 1, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo shows carbon storage facilities at the Enping 15-1 oil platform 200 km southwest of Shenzhen, south China, June 1, 2023. China's first offshore million-tonne carbon storage project was put into operation on Thursday in the South China Sea, according to the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).
The project is designed to store a total of more than 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is equivalent to planting nearly 14 million trees, according to the company.
The project, serving the Enping 15-1 oil platform 200 km southwest of Shenzhen, captures and processes CO2 from oilfields and then injects CO2 into a "dome" geological structure at a depth of around 800 meters under the seabed and about 3 km from the platform. (Xinhua/Mao Siqian)
