Story summary

China repurposed a long-haul oil pipeline to transport carbon dioxide in a 27km trial run in Henan.
PipeChina, the state-owned pipeline operator, said the trial could serve as a model for carbon capture, utilisation, and storage.
The trial backs Beijing’s dual-carbon strategy to peak emissions by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2060.
Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) reduces emissions and enhances oil recovery, contributing to China’s green transition.
