Taiwan Bureau of Energy deputy director general Wang Yunn-ming said that in the last year, all the three firms have formed a strategic alliance with several government agencies to develop CCS technologies.
The alliance is planning to complete a pilot project, which will store 10,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide, by 2015.
Currently CSC, in collaboration with four universities, is developing a chemical absorption carbon dioxide capturing technology and an oxy-fuel combustion pilot testing program.
CPC is looking to initiate carbon dioxide sequestration technology with the use of oil and gas exploration and production data, reports Taipei Times.
