Recent research at Los Alamos has demonstrated that using CO2 for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) can be commercially viable under the recently revised 45Q tax regulation.

Los Alamos 最近的研究表明，根据最近修订的45Q税收法规，使用二氧化碳进行碳捕获，利用和储存（CCUS）在商业上是可行的。

This carbon sequestration technique involves catching CO2 waste emitted by sources like fossil fuel plants, using it in another industrial process like energy extraction, then storing it underground.

这种碳封存技术涉及捕获化石燃料工厂等来源排放的二氧化碳废物，在能源提取等其他工业过程中使用，然后将其储存在地下。

Fossil fuels continue to drive our economy, as well as most of our cars. So it’s worth pursuing a new approach with economic and environmental benefits: using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a fracturing fluid, incentivized by a new development in the federal tax code. This technique creates a win-win-win: increased domestic oil and natural gas production with lower environmental impact, including permanently sequestering CO2 underground, which helps maintain earth-system balance.

化石燃料继续推动着我们的经济，以及我们的大多数汽车。 因此，值得采用一种具有经济和环境效益的新方法：使用二氧化碳（CO2）作为压裂液，受到联邦税法新发展的激励。 这种技术创造了一种双赢：增加国内石油和天然气产量，降低对环境的影响，包括永久性地将二氧化碳封存在地下，这有助于维持地球系统的平衡。

Recent research by the Computational Earth Science group at Los Alamos National Laboratory has demonstrated that using CO2 for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) can be commercially viable under the recently revised 45Q tax regulation. This carbon sequestration technique involves catching CO2 waste emitted by sources like fossil fuel plants, using it in another industrial process like energy extraction, then storing it underground. The Los Alamos research studied applying this technique to what’s known as enhanced oil recovery, or extracting resources from wells that have become unproductive through conventional drilling.

Los Alamos国家实验室计算地球科学小组最近的研究表明，根据最近修订的45Q税收法规，使用二氧化碳进行碳捕获，利用和储存（CCUS）在商业上是可行的。 这种碳封存技术涉及捕获化石燃料工厂等来源排放的二氧化碳废物，在能源提取等其他工业过程中使用，然后将其储存在地下。 洛斯阿拉莫斯研究将这种技术应用于所谓的强化采油，或从通过常规钻井变得无效的井中提取资源。
