China's Hainan Free Trade Port just leveled up its eco-game! A new carbon capture facility in Chengmai County – operated by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) – is now turning oilfield emissions into liquid gold 💧, processing 100+ tonnes daily of liquid CO₂. This tech win turbocharges Hainan's mission to become a global green energy hub by 2025.
🔍 Why it matters: The project's already stored 360,000 tonnes of CO₂ – equal to taking 150,000 cars off roads annually 🚗💨. Bonus? It boosted local oil/gas production by 150,000 tonnes. Talk about a climate-friendly two-for-one deal!
CNPC engineers are now optimizing the system with real-time monitoring and next-gen storage solutions. As one researcher told us: "This isn't just about capturing carbon – it's rewriting how industries can thrive while protecting tropical ecosystems." 🌴⚙️
