Abstract

This data article presents the first systematic assessment on the potential of onshore CO₂-enhanced water recovery (CO₂-EWR) using pure CO₂ streams from industrial separation processes by this evaluation framework. The evaluation framework is developed for CO₂ capture, geological utilization and storage (CCUS) project developments, including CO₂ emission inventory, site suitability evaluation, and source-sink matching with techno-economic models. The data shows the matched source (CO₂ source)-sink (onshore aquifer site) pairs with sites distribution and levelized cost under various scenarios. Data also shows the geographic distribution of source-sink pairs, cost curve, annual cumulative CO₂ storage capacity and enhanced water production under various scenarios. Potential large-scale deployments of CO₂-EWR projects with low cost in the modern coal chemical industry in China are shown and identified in the dataset. This data article is related to the research article "Cost curve of large-scale deployment of CO₂-enhanced water recovery technology in modern coal chemical industries in China" (X. Li et al. 2019).
