Grading Evaluation and Ranking of CO_(2) Sequestration Capacity in Place(CSCIP) in China’s Major Oil Basins:Theoretical,Effective,Practical and CCUS-EOR

Because it is necessary to focus on differences in regional oil reservoirs and determine the priority of the CCUSEOR(Carbon capture,utilization,and storage-enhanced oil recovery) deployment under China’s net-zero CO_(2) emission target,systematic and regional evaluations of CO_(2) sequestration capacity in major oil basins are needed considering the geofluid properties―carbon sequestration capacity in place(CSCIP)―where the ’in place’ indicates actual geological formation conditions underground,e.g.,formation temperature and pressure.Therefore,physical properties of geofluids at different depths with different geologic temperatures and pressure conditions are considered for the CO_(2) sequestration capacity evaluation in place,including shallow(800–2000 m),medium(2000–3500 m),deep(3500–4500 m) and ultra-deep(4500–8000 m) depth intervals.A modified evaluation model with four grading levels is proposed,combining the P-V-T equations of state(EOS) and evaluation equations of the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum(CSLF),including theoretical,effective,practical,and CCUS-EOR CSCIP,which is more consistent with geofluid physical properties underground,to make the grading evaluation and ranking of the CSCIP in China’s major oil basins.Then,the grading CSCIP of 29 major oil basins in China was evaluated based on the petroleum resources evaluation results of the Ministry of Natural Resources of China(MNRC) during China’s 13th Five-Year Plan period.According to the grading evaluation results,suggestions for China’s CCUS-EOR prospective regions are given as follows:shallow oil fields of the Songliao Basin in Northeast China,shallow–medium oil fields of the Bohai Bay Basin in East China,medium oil fields of the Zhungeer Basin in West China,and medium oil fields of the Ordos Basin in Central China;all are potential areas for the CCUS-EOR geological sequestration in China’s onshore oil basins.In addition,in China’s offshore oil basins,shallow–medium oil fields of the Bohai Sea and shallow oil fields of the Pearl River Mouth Basin have potential for CCUS-EOR geological sequestration.

Carbon Sequestration Potential of Wetland Parks : A Case Study of Guangzhou Wetland Park

As the integration point of urban blue-green spaces,wetland parks play an important role in the construction of urban carbon pools.It is of great significance for achieving carbon neutrality and peak carbon emissions by reasonably evaluating the carbon sequestration capacity of wetland parks and optimizing wetland structure.In this paper,Guangzhou wetland park is taken as the research object.Through field research,the carbon sequestration potential of ecosystems at multiple levels,including forest vegetation,seedlings,and wetland ecosystems is studied,and policy recommendations are put forward for carbon sequestration in wetland systems.The results show that the annual carbon sequestration capacity of the wetland is 1296.59 t,and the annual net carbon sequestration value is 100485 yuan.Among the three regions,proportions of annual carbon sequestration of the forest vegetation plate,seedling plate,and wetland ecosystem plate account for 28.4%,41.3%,and 30.3%,respectively.

Precipitation Controls on Carbon Sinks in an Artificial Green Space in the Taklimakan Desert

Control of desertification can not only ameliorate the natural environment of arid regions but also convert desertified land into significant terrestrial carbon sinks,thereby bolstering the carbon sequestration capacity of arid ecosystems.However,longstanding neglect of the potential carbon sink benefits of desertification management,and its relationship with environmental factors,has limited the exploration of carbon sequestration potential.Based on CO_(2) flux and environmental factors of artificial protective forest in the Taklamakan Desert from 2018 to 2019,we found that the carbon storage capacity of the desert ecosystem increased approximately 140-fold after the establishment of an artificial shelter forest in the desert,due to plant photosynthesis.Precipitation levels less than 2 mm had no impact on carbon exchange in the artificial shelter forest,whereas a precipitation level of approximately 4 mm stimulated a decrease in the vapor pressure deficit over a short period of about three days,promoting photosynthesis and enhancing the carbon absorption of the artificial shelter forest.Precipitation events greater than 8 mm stimulated soil respiration to release CO_(2) and promoted plant photosynthesis.In the dynamic equilibrium where precipitation stimulates both soil respiration and photosynthesis,there is a significant threshold value of soil moisture at 5 cm(0.12 m^(3) m^(-3)),which can serve as a good indicator of the strength of the stimulatory effect of precipitation on both.These results provide important data support for quantifying the contribution of artificial afforestation to carbon sequestration in arid areas,and provide guidance for the development and implementation of artificial forest management measures.
