Assessing the niche development of carbon capture and storage through strategic niche management approach: The case of China
Highlights The expectations for CCS evolved linearly and are constantly being reinforced in China. The actor network supporting CCS niche development is sparse and the network cohesion is gradually decreasing. CCS learning continues to deepen but remains insufficient with little attention to policy and social issues. CCS niche in China is at a relatively low level of development in terms of the three internal processes of SNM.
Abstract Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important strategic technology choice for the future reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which plays a crucial role as part of an economically sustainable route. Although some studies have discussed CCS demonstration projects and early developments, CCS has not been investigated as an innovative niche for sustainable transition. In an attempt to fill this gap, this study studies CCS as an innovative niche and assess the niche development of CCS in China by using a strategic niche management (SNM) framework. The evolution of three interlinked niche processes (expectations, social networks and learning process) is analysed with a comprehensive analytical approach that includes policy, social network and bibliometric analysis. Results show that a CCS niche has formed in China, but it is at a relatively low level of niche development in terms of the three internal processes. The expectations for CCS evolved linearly and are constantly being reinforced. The actor network supporting CCS niche development is sparse, and network cohesion is gradually decreasing. CCS learning continues to deepen but remains insufficient; it focuses on technical aspects and provides little attention to policy and social issues. The results indicate that expectations have been well-established at various levels in China, but the network and the learning process still need to be improved. Our findings help to identify problems in the development of technology and provide useful references for technology planning and the further development of CCS.
