ZCE's mCDRS —— mDACCS/mCCS/mSCCS, original from ZCE's mFGD/mEGC
mFGD (EGC) (90%+ de-SO2, 2~5% de-CO2): Scrub the flue gas with seawater only, first-of-a-kind deployments of coal-fired power plant mFGD (6GW) had been commercial operated since January 2000, and the first real ship sea trial of mEGC in 2011.
mCCS power station (90%+ de-CO2, 99%de-SO2): Scrub the flue gas with seawater only, dissolve and capture CO2, convert it into HCO3- for ocean storage.

mDACCS: Scrub the air with seawater only, dissolve and capture the CO2, convert it into HCO3- for ocean storage.

mSCCS marine ship (90%+ de-CO2, 99% de-SO2): Scrub the exhaust gas with seawater only, dissolve and capture the CO2, convert it into HCO3- for ocean storage. (Web picture)
What has the experience of "mFGD to mCDRS" suggest?
The successful story and spillover knowledge of FGD deployments are necessary for the successful deployment of CCS, for FGD is comparable to CCS in terms of its technological complexity, sectors of application and characteristics (IEA, CCUS in Clean Energy Transitions, 2020).
What are the characteristics of mCDRS?
Innovated on mature technology applied on power stations/ships, high de-SO2, low de-CO2 to high de-CO2 and SO2Seawater absorbing model of CO2 capture, HCO3- model storage inthe ocean legally, safely and permanently Ultra-low-cost large-scalenet negative emissions & net zero emissions build on ocean natural carbon sink.Why unlocking ocean natural carbon sink is necessary?
Using the Earth’s natural carbon sink (non-artificial alkalinity), which is mainly the ocean system carbon sinks (93%+), to mitigate climate change is a first principle that UNFCCC and IPCC have always emphasized.“Broken Record——Temperatures hit new highs, yet world fails to cut emissions (again)”, United Nations 2023 Emissions Gap Report states. This is inseparable from the fact that climate mitigation actions have not followed the first principle for 30 years: the actual scale of intentional use of ocean system carbon sinks for carbon storage has been close to zero so far. By 2050, 400 million to 1.8 billion metric tons of high-quality carbon credits will be demanded each year. Unlocking the ocean natural carbon sink, that is increasing the absorption of CO2 by the ocean, is the essential way.
