Drawing on Beijing's concentration of scientific research institutions and national headquarters, the policy directs municipal resources toward R&D breakthroughs in high-performance absorbents, adsorbents, membrane separation, bio-energy with CCS (BECCS), direct air capture (DAC), green fuels, and high-precision CO2 monitoring equipment. It accelerates industrial pilot-scale verification by subsidising pilot testing production lines and mandating municipal energy state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to open real-world application scenarios.
