Shanwei Haifeng CCS power station (华润海丰发电厂) is an operating power station of at least 2100-megawatts (MW) in Xiaomo Town Da'ao Village, Haifeng, Shanwei, Guangdong, China with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as 华润小漠电厂; Xiaomo power station (Phase II Unit 3, Phase II Unit 4).

Background

Units 1-2

In 2011, China Resources was building a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 2,100 MW in Guangdong Province. The plant was scheduled to be completed in 2014.[1][2][3] The units were completed in 2015.[4]

Units 3-4

The company was planning to build two additional 1,000-MW coal-fired units.[1] The new units, units 3 and 4, were identified as the location of a carbon capture and storage demonstration project, described as follows:[5]

On 27 June 2013, the Development and Reform Commission of Guangdong Province (Guangdong’s DRC) held its first CCUS demonstration project coordination meeting, in which it set up a plan for CCUS demonstrations. China Resources Power was chosen as the leading organization for Guangdong CCUS demonstration, specifically with Haifeng Units 3 and 4 (2×1000 MW expansion project) as the first Guangdong CCUS demonstration project (providing a full-scale CCS ready interface installation scheme for the feasibility study and design stages).
The application of capture facilities would capture and compress 1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions from Haifeng Unit 3 from a slip stream of flue gas. The purity of the CO2 prior to transport would be 95 per cent. The construction of the carbon capture facilities is expected to start in February 2016 and to be completed in August 2018.[6]
Any CO2 captured from the power plant would be injected in a CO2 storage site in a deep saline formation in the South China Sea for permanent storage or for CO2 enhanced hydrocarbon recovery, in fields operated by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). The project team has found two candidate storage sites approximately 90 km / 56 miles and 150 km / 93 miles south of the China Resources Power (Haifeng) project. A full feasibility study was started in May 2014 and was expected to be completed in April 2015. A front end engineering design (FEED) study is expected to start in May 2015.

In May 2019, it was reported the plant's two units had been equipped with carbon capture and storage (CCS) capability, with the capacity to capture 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year.[7]

2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.

2022: New Permitting

The permit for Unit 3 was issued on August 29, 2022.[8] The permit for Unit 4 was issued on September 26, 2022.[9]

Construction reportedly began in September 2022 under a new name and owner: Xiaomo power station (华润小漠电厂) and Shenzhen Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone China Resources Power Co., Ltd (深圳市深汕特别合作区华润电力有限公司).[10]

China Energy Engineering Corporation Northeast Branch No 1 company won the bid to construct the main body of Unit 3 and 4.[11]

Carbon capture

In September 2023, the expansion reportedly entered the "rapid construction" stage. News noted that as the only carbon capture (CCUS) project in the five provinces of South China, Haifeng Power Plant was listed as a CCUS demonstration unit in Guangdong Province, and would become the first million-kilowatt coal-fired power plant in Guangdong to achieve "ultra-clean emissions."[12]
