Chapter Seven Regional Studies on Climate Change Response

Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technology will see broader applications. High-
emission industries in developed countries, such as steel, cement, and chemical production,
will become key adopters of these technologies. Taking the steel industry as an example,
some advanced steel manufacturers have begun piloting CCS technology. During steel
production, carbon dioxide emissions from equipment like blast furnaces are captured
through specific technical methods, then transported to suitable geological formations
for storage, such as deep saline formations or depleted oil and gas fields. Meanwhile, the
application of CCUS technology continues to expand. Some chemical enterprises are
exploring methods to convert captured carbon dioxide into high-value-added products,
such as synthesizing methanol from carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Methanol can not only
serve as fuel but also act as a chemical raw material for producing plastics, coatings, and
other products. Other companies are attempting to utilize carbon dioxide in manufacturing
construction materials. Through specialized processes, carbon dioxide reacts with other
materials to produce new building materials with high strength, durability, and carbon
sequestration capabilities. This approach both reduces carbon dioxide emissions and creates
new economic growth opportunities, driving the industrial sector’s transition toward low-
carbon and circular economic models.
In the field of transportation, developed countries will spare no effort to promote the
electrification of transportation. On the one hand, further increase support for the research
and development, production, and infrastructure construction of electric vehicles. The gov-
ernment will encourage consumers to purchase electric vehicles through policies such as car
purchase subsidies and tax reductions, while guiding car manufacturers to increase research
and development investment to improve the performance and range of electric vehicles. Tes-
la and other automotive companies are constantly innovating in battery technology, auton-
omous driving technology, and other areas, driving the continuous improvement of electric
vehicle performance. To reduce the production cost of electric vehicles, developed countries
will strengthen the construction of battery raw material supply chains, improve the scale of
battery production, and reduce battery costs. On the other hand, we will vigorously develop
electric public transportation. In cities, electric buses will gradually replace traditional fuel
buses. Some cities, such as Oslo in Norway, have developed comprehensive plans to pro-
mote electric buses, increase the number of electric buses, optimize bus routes, and improve
the convenience and attractiveness of public transportation. At the same time, actively con-
structing rail transit systems such as trams can effectively reduce carbon emissions in the
urban transportation sector through these electrified public transportation modes. In addition,
the network layout of charging facilities will be improved, and charging piles will be wide-
ly installed in urban streets, highway service areas, parking lots and other places. Taking
Germany as an example, the government has formulated ambitious Charging infrastructure
construction Plan, encourage enterprises and social capital to participate in charging pile
construction through financial subsidies and other means, improve charging pile coverage,
