China fully embraced HFC-134a in 2001 when it implemented its obligations under the 1987 Montreal Protocol. However, China has announced an intention to halt economy-wide GHG (or CO2-equivalent) emissions growth around or before 2030, and to reduce carbon intensity per unit gross domestic product (GDP) by 65% in that same time frame.

Most of the coal structure—a solid organic material made up of large, complex molecules containing carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur and nitrogen—is broken down in the first-stage reactor. Approximately 80% of the CO2 is in concentrated form ready for sequestration. Liquefaction is completed in the second-stage reactor.
