Data on potential of CO2 capture and enhanced water recovery projects in modern coal chemical industries in China

This data article presents the first systematic assessment on the potential of onshore CO2-enhanced water recovery (CO2-EWR) using pure CO2 streams from industrial separation processes by this evaluation framework. The evaluation framework is developed for CO2 capture, geological utilization and storage (CCUS) project developments, including CO2 emission inventory, site suitability evaluation, and source–sink matching with techno-economic models. The data shows the matched source (CO2 source)-sink (onshore aquifer site) pairs with sites distribution and levelized cost under various scenarios. Data also shows the geographic distribution of source-sink pairs, cost curve, annual cumulative CO2 storage capacity and enhanced water production under various scenarios. Potential large-scale deployments of CO2-EWR projects with low cost in the modern coal chemical industry in China are shown and identified in the dataset. This data article is related to the research article “Cost curve of large-scale deployment of CO2-enhanced water recovery technology in modern coal chemical industries in China” (X. Li et al. 2019).


Data
The data is on the first macro-scale study of potential CO 2 capture and CO 2 -EWR projects by developed source-sink matching method with budget-type techno-economic models for coal chemical industry in China. The data show the details of matched source-sink pairs with potential costs. The data compiled in excel spreadsheets provides the inventory of several coal chemical processes, CO 2 emission from industrial and dilute processes of each CO 2 source, geographic distribution of potential integrated CCUS projects (source-sink pairs) with levelized costs and CO 2 storage capacity, cumulative storage capacity and water production for the whole set of modeled CO 2 sources and onshore aquifer sites in China under various scenarios of actual operating capacity in 2015, designed full capacity in 2015, and total capacity in 2016. The data can be used to identify various potential low-cost large-scale deployment of CO 2 -EWR projects using pure CO 2 from the coal chemical industry in China. Data sheet and figures are compiled using Excel software (Spreadsheet tabs are shown in Fig. 1 and cost curve of one scenario is shown in Fig. 2).

Experimental design, materials and methods
The systematical evaluation framework is based on the synthetic framework including evaluation of CO 2 sources, site suitability, and sourceesink matching with techno-economic models, and cost curve of potential integrated CCUS projects [2e5]. The details of this framework can refer to the paper by Li, Wei [1]. The data is generated through this framework considering lots of factors, such as, technology design of full-chain CCUS project, technical features of coal chemical factory, economic Specifications table   Subject area Chemistry, Energy, Economics More specific subject area CO 2 capture, geological utilization and storage Type of data Tables and figures How data was acquired An evaluation framework is developed for CCUS project developments, including evaluation of CO 2 sources, site suitability, and sourceesink matching with techno-economic model. The framework was used to evaluate large CO 2 sources in the modern coal chemical industry and the distribution of suitable onshore aquifer sites in China, and then to obtain the cost curve of potential CCUS projects through source-sink matching analysis. Finally, potential for cost-effective and large-scale deployment of CO 2 -EWR projects is identified for the coal chemical industry in China.
