Abstract: Climate change has brought serious challenges to the development of human society. CO$_2$ flooding, a technology that can effectively improve oil recovery and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, is of great significance in ensuring national energy security, in creating social and economic value, and in realizing ecological and environmental goals, and is the major measure for China to achieve the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. In China, CO$_2$ flooding technology application has broad prospects, but large-scale application takes time. Global low-carbon cooperation and energy market transformation provide opportunities for China to develop CO$_2$ flooding technology, but they also bring challenges of high economic costs and environmental risks. In the future, to fully develop and promote CO$_2$ flooding technology, China needs to build an industrial legal system, promote technological research and innovation, improve cooperation mechanisms, and improve environmental risk management.

Key words: carbon peaking, carbon neutrality, CO$_2$ flooding, carbon sequestration, SWOT Analysis
