A report from the Global CCS Institute says North America’s continued front-runner status in carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment is largely attributable to tax credits, stronger climate commitments, and an anticipated rise in demand for low-carbon energy products.
来自全球碳捕集与封存研究院的一份报告声称，北美在碳捕获与封存（CCS）部署方面的持续领先地位主要归因于税收减免、更强有力的气候承诺以及对低碳能源产品需求的预期增长。

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is gathering momentum in the response to rising climate ambition, according to the Global CCS Institute’s (GCCSI) Global Status of CCS 2021 report. The report, released on 12 October, said the total capacity of the global CCS project pipeline has increased this year for the fourth year in a row, by almost one-third over the previous year. But is the momentum sufficient to achieve the capacity increase of operational facilities required to satisfy the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) 2050 climate goals?
根据全球碳捕集与封存研究院（GCCSI）的《2021年全球CCS状况》报告，碳捕捉和储存（CCS）项目正为了应对日益增长的气候雄心而蓄势待发。这份在10月12日发布的报告称，全球CCS项目管线的总容量今年已连续第四年增加，较前一年增加了近三分之一。但是，这一势头是否足以实现满足国际能源机构（IEA）2050年气候目标所需的运营设施的能力增长？
Jarad Daniels, CEO of GCCSI, said the dramatic increase in the number of projects in development reinforces the critical role of CCS in reaching global climate goals within the short timeframe required. “CCS is absolutely critical to achieving net zero emissions, and we anticipate growth in the sector to continue as climate ambition is increasingly matched with action,” Daniels said in a news release announcing the 2021 report. “As we accelerate toward net zero emissions by mid-century and establish clearer interim targets, CCS will be integral to the decarbonization of energy and industrial sectors such as cement, fertilizers, and chemicals and will open new opportunities in areas including clean hydrogen and carbon dioxide removal.”
GCCSI首席执行官贾拉德·丹尼尔斯（Jarad Daniels）表示，正开发的项目数量的急剧增加强化了CCS在所需的短时间内实现全球气候目标方面的关键作用。丹尼尔斯在宣布2021年报告的新闻稿中表示：“CCS对实现净零排放绝对至关重要，我们预计，随着气候雄心与行动日益配合，该行业的增长将持续下去。”“随着我们在本世纪中叶加速实现净零排放，并确立更明确的中期目标，CCS将成为水泥、化肥和化学品等能源和工业部门脱碳的不可或缺的组成部分，并将在清洁氢和二氧化碳脱除等领域开辟新的机遇。”
The report provides a snapshot of CCS progress around the world, which includes the following:
该报告提供了全球CCS进展概况，包括以下内容：
·Of the 135 commercial CCS facilities in the project pipeline, 27 are fully operating, four are under construction, and 102 are under development.
·在项目管线的135个商用CCS设施中，27个已全面运行，4个在建，102个在开发中。
·71 new CCS facilities were added to the project pipeline in 2021.
·2021年，项目管线中新增了71个CCS设施。
·As of September, the CO2 capture capacity of all CCS facilities under development has grown from 75 to 111 Mtpa—a 48% increase over 2020.
·截至9月，正在开发的所有CCS设施的CO2捕获能力已从7500万吨每年增长至1.11亿吨每年，比2020年增长了48%。
·North America continues to be the global front-runner in CCS deployment, with more than 40 new CCS projects announced in 2021. This can largely be attributed to CCS tax credits, stronger climate commitments—including the US rejoining the Paris Agreement—and anticipated rise in demand for low-carbon energy products.
·北美在CCS部署方面继续处于全球领先地位，并于2021年宣布了40多个新的CCS项目。这在很大程度上可以归因于CCS税收减免、包括美国重新加入《巴黎协定》在内的更强有力的气候承诺以及对低碳能源产品需求的预期上升。
·CCS projects are becoming increasingly diverse, with facilities in development in a broad range of sectors including power generation, liquefied natural gas, cement, steel, waste-to-energy, direct air capture and storage, and hydrogen production.
·CCS项目正变得越来越多样化，包括发电、液化天然气、水泥、钢铁、废物转化能源、直接空气捕获和储存以及制氢在内的广泛领域的设施正在开发中。
·Several new countries now have commercial CCS facilities under development, including Belgium, Denmark, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, and Sweden.
·一些新的国家目前正在开发商业CCS设施，包括比利时、丹麦、匈牙利、印度尼西亚、意大利、马来西亚和瑞典。
·CCS networks—in which multiple emissions sources share transport and storage infrastructure—are increasingly becoming the dominant operating model, incorporating ever-larger volumes of CO2.
·CCS网络——多个排放源共享运输和储存基础设施——正日益成为主导运行模式，从而能吸收更多的二氧化碳。
According to Guloren Turan, general manager of advocacy and communication for GCCSI, the IEA’s Sustainable Development Scenario foresees 15% of emissions reductions to come from CCS, which will require a 100-fold increase in the capacity of operational facilities by 2050. “While the acceleration of CCS adoption is promising, more urgency in the deployment of the technology is needed to reach 2050 climate goals,” Turan said.
根据GCCSI宣传和传播总经理古洛伦·图兰（Guloren Turan）的说法，国际能源署（IEA）的可持续发展方案预计，15%的减排将来自CCS，这将要求到2050年将运营设施的能力增加100倍。图兰说：“虽然加速采用CCS是有希望的，但为了实现2050年气候目标，还需要更加迫切地部署该技术。”
The release of the 2021 CCS report comes ahead of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, where GCCSI will join other observer organizations and government leaders in Glasgow, Scotland, to assess progress on climate commitments and encourage greater ambition and action.
2021年CCS报告的发布正值2021年联合国气候变化大会召开之前。届时，GCCSI将与其他观察组织和政府领导人一道在苏格兰的格拉斯哥举行会议，评估气候承诺方面的进展，并鼓励更大的雄心和行动。
Summary: As the world puts more emphasis on achieving net zero emissions, the GCCSI report shows that CCS projects around the world are gearing up to respond to growing climate ambition. With various forms of support from governments, CCS research is booming to meet the challenge of achieving net zero emissions. North America's dominance in this field will continue, but some new countries have entered the fray. With the IEA's Sustainable Development Scenario predicting that 15 percent of emissions reductions will come from CCS, there is a greater need to deploy CCS technology, develop it and innovate it more urgently in order to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The future of CCS is worth looking forward to!
总结：随着全世界对实现净零排放越来越重视，GCCSI的报告显示，全球的CCS项目正为了应对日益增长的气候雄心而蓄势待发。在各国政府各种形式的支持下，CCS的研究正蓬勃展开以实现净零排放的挑战。其中北美在此领域的优势还将持续，但一些新的国家也已经加入到了此领域中来。由于国际能源署的可持续发展方案预计15%的减排将来自CCS，为了到2050年实现净零排放的目标，还需要更加迫切地部署CCS技术，将其不断开发与创新。CCS的未来值得期待！
