Xinhua Finance and Economics, Tokyo, May 20 (Reporter Zhong Ya and Qian Zheng) The "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" website recently reported thatclaimspinscoinmasterA survey by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun showed that China ranks first in the world in the number of technology patents on carbon dioxide recycling, indicating that China's technological competitiveness in addressing global warming is steadily improving.

Carbon dioxide recycling involves a series of related technologies such as carbon dioxide capture, storage, separation, and conversion. According to a survey by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, as of February this year, the number of patents related to carbon dioxide recycling and utilization held by Chinese companies and research institutions was 10191, which is four times the number of patents in 2015. The United States and Japan have 3574 and 2977 technical patents in this regard, ranking second and third respectively.

In addition, the quality of patents related to carbon dioxide recycling is analyzed based on factors such as the attention of competitors. The quality level of Chinese patents is also very high, ranking second only to the United States in quality, and the gap with the quality of U.S. patents has rapidly narrowed in recent years.

According to the report, carbon dioxide recovery is one of the key technologies to solve the global warming problem. Countries are currently racing to develop technologies to capture carbon dioxide emitted by factories or present in the atmosphere, bury it underground or use it as chemical raw materials.

The report said that China has high technical capabilities in areas such as carbon dioxide separation and conversion of it into chemical raw materials. For example, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has outstanding performance in converting carbon dioxide into methane and other fuel technologies; Sinopec's million-ton CCUS (Carbon Dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage) project can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1 million tons per year.
