Abstract:

Global economic and social development is highly dependent on fossil fuels,particularly in critical sectors such as industry,transportation, and electricity, where fossil fuels remain the primary energy source. However, the associated energy infrastructurecontinues to emit substantial amounts of greenhouse gases,exacerbating climate change and causing significant impacts on the globalclimate environment and socio-economic systems. As international concern over climate change intensifies,countries are facing increasingpressure and demand to reduce emissions. How to achieve carbon dioxide emission reductions while ensuring economic development hasbecome a major global challenge. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology, as an indispensable component ofChina′s carbon neutrality technological framework,exhibits considerable synergistic advantages in enhancing comprehensive ecologicaland environmental governance,ensuring energy security,fostering green economic development,and advancing social equity and justice.Anchored in strategic considerations for global climate change governance and the promotion of socio-economic development undercarbon neutrality objectives, the synergistic benefits of CCUS technology deployment across environmental, economic, and social dimensions were systematically investigated,predicated on the advancement of CCUS technology. The findings indicate that the strategic deployment of CCUS technology can significantly reduce emissions while simultaneously fostering economic growth and social progress, achieving multiple benefits. Specifically,CCUS is expected to lower carbon emission intensity,enhance energy utilization efficiency,and catalyze industry innovation and upgrading. Through policy support and optimized benefit distribution mechanisms,CCUS can promote balanced regional economic development, elevate social equity, and robustly support a just transition. Novel insights into achieving multidimensional synergistic benefits in China's CCUS deployment were provided and theoretical and scientific references for the collective promotion of equitable socio-economic development were offered.
