碳捕獲與儲存進(jìn)展刻不容緩：GCCSI負責人Brad Page專(zhuān)訪(fǎng)Carbon Capture and Storage Advancement Is Urgent:An Exclusive Interv

不能也不應該忽視化石燃料使用量的增長(cháng)沒(méi)有放緩的跡象。在幾個(gè)方面，煤炭正引領(lǐng)著(zhù)這一潮流。這種增長(cháng)大部分來(lái)自發(fā)展中國家，而且將繼續來(lái)自發(fā)展中國家。在大多數發(fā)展中國家，許多發(fā)電廠(chǎng)已經(jīng)運行了不到十年，預計在未來(lái)很長(cháng)一段時(shí)間內還會(huì )繼續運行。此外，要求許多國家（不論是否發(fā)展中國家）放棄國內可獲得的、安全的燃料來(lái)源也是一項艱巨的任務(wù)。盡管如此，全球都在感受到實(shí)現增長(cháng)目標/供應能源與解決重大環(huán)境和健康問(wèn)題之間的緊張關(guān)系。

I t cannot and should not be ignored that the growth in fossil fuel usage has shown no signs of slowing. In several respects, coal is leading this charge. Most of this growth has come, and will continue to come, from developing countries. In most developing countries many power plants have been operating for less than a decade and are expected to continue to operate long into the future. In addition, it is a tall order to ask many countries (developing or not) to abandon a domestically available, secure source of fuel. Still, the tension between meeting growth goals/ supplying energy and addressing major environmental and health issues is being felt globally.
