“…This is actually demonstrated by the seismicity in Fig. 12 (Gao et al, 1995). Because of the role of the isolated rigid block, compression tectonics completely cease at the western boundary of the Ordos MicroPlate and extension tectonics initiate from the boundary to the east.…”

(2009) Geological model of the Yellow River basin for the long-term groundwater simulation. Bull. Geol. Surv. Japan, vol. 60 (1/2), p. 117-130, 12 fi gs. Abstract:To simulate long-term groundwater flow within the whole catchment areas of the Yellow River basin, a hydrogeological model is formulated. This model includes the impermeable basement defi ned by the brittle-plastic transition, formulation of the depth-dependency of permeability of the upper crust, major fault distribution, and an isopach map of the Quaternary System. The Yellow River basin is characterized by fi ve stepwise altitude areas; the Tibet Plateau, the northeastern slope of the Tibet Plateau, the northwestern Ordos Plateau, the southeastern slope of the Ordos Plateau and the North China Basin. The structure was formed by tectonics, particularly by the rigid Ordos Micro-Plate block. When adequate permeability and local groundwater consumptions are assumed, the results of the simulation are well consistent with the records of the dramatic decline of the water table since 1960s, indicating the excess groundwater consumptions as the major factor for the decline. This simulator enables to forecast the future shortage of groundwater in the Yellow River basin.

“…The geological data set was integrated from several sources including the China Ministry of Land and Resources, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Fundamental Information, the Chinese Geological Survey, the National Atlases, and published geological reports. Some data in the literature were also integrated into our database and processed using Geographic Information System software to develop a master database. − For the present study, a total of 296 onshore oil fields in China were analyzed, which are listed in the Atlas of Oil and Gas Basins in China and Petroleum Geology of China . The data set for the site suitability study includes 55 data layers, including geological data and nongeological data.…”

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a critical technology to realize carbon neutrality target in the Chinese coal-fired power sector, which emitted 3.7 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2017. However, CCUS technology is often viewed as an “alternative technology” option owing to common perceptions of relatively high cost and potential risks. This study indicates that coal power CCUS is likely to be a cost-effective and key technology for helping China reach the ambitious goal of carbon neutrality. This comprehensive, national-scale assessment of CCUS deployment on coal power in China is based on a unique bottom-up approach that includes site selection, coal plant screening, techno-economic analysis, and carbon dioxide source-sink matching. Analysis indicates that, based on 2017 costs and assumptions, more than 70% of coal power plants in this study could be cost-competitive with natural gas-fired power plants, and 22–58% would be cost-competitive with onshore wind generation. These insights suggest that the commercialization of CCUS technology in the coal power sector in China is a viable route toward decarbonizing the economy if a grid price policy similar to that of renewables and natural gas power is applied.

“…1). North China has been a tectonically active area in the Cenozoic era (Tian et al, 1992;Gao et al, 1995;Pavlides et al, 1999;Zhang et al, 2003). Since the Paleogene, due to the subduction of the Pacific Plate underneath the Eurasia Plate, the regional stress field had been characterized by a NW-SE extension that had produced a number of NENstriking grabens and horsts in the eastern part; the western part had remained a plateau, which is known as the Shanxi Plateau, and had been eroded (Ma and Wu, 1987;Ye et al, 1987;Rodnikov et al, 1992).…”
