Chair's comments
主席的评论
Speaking ahead of the hearing, Rachel Reeves MP, Chair of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee, said:
商业，能源和工业战略委员会主席Rachel Reeves议员在听证会前发表讲话说：
"Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) is expected to play an essential part in meeting the UK’s carbon budgets. In this inquiry we want to examine the content and extent of the Government’s ambitions for CCUS and explore what policy levers are needed to ensure large-scale use of CCUS becomes a reality. Clear policy signals will be crucial in creating a market in CCUS into the 2030s and, if the Government judges the costs are too high to make CCUS viable, then it they really must set out a workable alternative as the UK seeks to meet its carbon emissions targets".
“碳捕集，使用和储存（CCUS）预计将在满足英国碳预算方面发挥重要作用。在此调查中，我们希望研究政府对CCUS抱负的内容和程度，并探讨需要哪些政策杠杆来确保 CCUS的大规模使用成为现实。明确的政策信号对于在20世纪30年代创建CCUS市场至关重要，如果政府判断成本太高而无法使CCUS可行，那么他们真的必须设定一个可行的 替代，因为英国寻求实现其碳排放目标“。
The BEIS Committee’s inquiry is examining the Government’s commitment to deploying CCUS technology and whether it has a “Plan B” to meet the UK’s climate change targets should desired cost reductions not materialise. This short-inquiry is expected to conclude with a final Ministerial evidence session later in November.
BEIS委员会的调查正在审查政府对部署CCUS技术的承诺，以及是否有“B计划”以满足英国的气候变化目标，如果期望的成本降低没有实现的话。 这项简短的调查预计将于11月晚些时候举行最后的部长级证据会议。
