In the last financial year, China generated 81 percent of all new carbon capture patents registered, making it by far the world's largest producer of new carbon capture technologies, the London-based newspaper quoted an analysis from BDO, one of the world's largest accounting and consulting networks, as saying on Monday.
In the second place, the United States produced 9 percent of all new carbon capture patents, while Britain lagged behind other industrialized nations in generating only 1 percent, it said.
Of the 203 carbon capture patents registered last year, China produced 164, America 18, while Britain only two, it added.
