flag Xinjiang Oilfield in China became the first to store over 1 million tonnes of CO2 annually by Dec. 28, 2025, advancing carbon capture and oil recovery.

flag China's Xinjiang Oilfield has become the first in the country to store over one million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually by December 28, 2025, marking a major step in large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) deployment. flag The project, using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery in the Junggar Basin, increased annual injections from 126,000 tonnes in 2022 to more than one million in 2025, with cumulative storage exceeding two million tonnes—equivalent to planting nearly nine million trees. flag The initiative, which improves oil production while reducing emissions, has developed a model for secure CO2 supply, efficient displacement, and safe storage, leveraging industrial synergies and a projected 2 billion-tonne regional storage capacity. flag The effort supports China’s goals to peak emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, with plans to expand CCUS capacity to 10 million tonnes during the 2026–2030 five-year plan.
