  碳的收集和储存

  A shiny new pipe dream.

  闪亮的管子 崭新的梦想。

  Capturing the carbon dioxide from power stations is not hard. But it is. expensive. A newproject in Norway aims to make it cheaper

  从发电站收集二氧化碳不难,但花费很高。挪威的一个新项目旨在降低碳捕捉的成本。

  AS Helene Boksle, one of Norway s favourite singers, hit the high notes at the Mongstad oilrefinery on May 7th, the wall behind her slid open. It revealed, to the prime minister andother dignitaries present, an enormous tangle of shiny metal pipes. These are part of theworld s largest and newest experimental facility for capturing carbon dioxide.

  五月七日挪威最受欢迎的歌手Helene Boksle 在蒙斯塔德炼油厂引吭高歌,她身后的大幕缓缓打开。首相和其他政要现身,一个巨大闪亮的金属管网也映入观众的视线。这是世界上最大最新的收集二氧化碳的试验装置的一部分。

  Such capture is the first part of a three-stage process known as carbon capture andstorage that many people hope will help deal with the problem of man-made climatechange. The other two are piping the captured gas towards a place underground where therocks will trap it, and then actually trapping it there. If the world is to continue burning fossilfuels while avoiding the consequences, then it will need a lot of CCS. There is no other goodway to keep the CO2 emitted by power stations, and also by processes such as iron- andcement-making, out of the atmosphere. To stop global warming of more than 2C-a widelyagreed safe limit-carbon-dioxide emissions must be halved by 2050. According to theInternational Energy Agency, an intergovernmental body that monitors these matters, CCSwould be the cheapest way to manage about a fifth of that reduction.
