    Facing China’s Coal Future Prospects and Challenges for Carbon Capture and Storage Dennis Best and Ellina Levina The views expressed in this working paper do not necessarily reflect the views or policy of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Secretariat or of its individual member countries. This paper is a work in progress and/or is produced in parallel with or contributing to other IEA work or formal publication; comments are welcome, directed to [email protected] © OECD/IEA, 2012 ©OECD/IEA 2012 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974. Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency’s aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change. n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of energy data. n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy efficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies.

The endowment, availability and economy of coal determines that coal power will remain a significant base energy source in the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific economies for quite a long time. Meanwhile in the future, over half of the increase of global coal power supply will come from the Asia-Pacific economies. With the trend of low-carbon development and green economy around the world, all economies are actively speeding up the development of clean energy such as renewable energy. In the meantime, they are improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions through energy conservation and enhancing the clean utilization of fossil energy. China is the world's largest consumer and producer of coal. The Chinese government is actively promoting the "Four Revolutions and One Cooperation" (namely the revolutions of energy consumption, energy supply, energy technology and energy system, and strengthened all-round international cooperation) energy strategy.
