Government-backed report says one scheme could be worth £164bn.

政府工作报告称，一项计划可能价值1640亿英镑。

UK businesses could reap a green dividend if they embrace carbon capture technology, according to a report backed by the government. It says Britain should aim to become a world leader in technology which traps pollution before it can cause environmental damage.

根据英国政府支持的一份报告，如果英国企业采用碳捕集技术，它们可能会获得绿色红利。 它表示，英国的目标应该是成为世界领先的技术，在污染造成环境破坏之前先将污染源捕捉。

In a foreword to the report, energy and clean growth minister Claire Perry says carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) is “one of the greatest industrial opportunities” available to Britain today.

在这份报告的前言中，能源和清洁发展部部长Claire Perry表示，碳捕集利用和储存（CCUS）是当今英国可用的“最大的工业机会之一”。

She says there is “international recognition” that the technology must be used if the targets to limit global warming set in the Paris Agreement of 2015 are to be hit.

她说，如果要达到2015年“巴黎协定”中规定的限制全球变暖的目标，那么必须使用该项“国际认可的”技术。

Last year, research by low-carbon power experts Summit Power forecast a £160bn boost to the UK economy if CCUS technology was deployed on a large scale along the east coast.

去年，据低碳电力专家Summit Power的研究预测，如果CCUS技术在东海岸大规模部署，英国经济将增加1600亿英镑。

Summit Power proposed linking industrial areas in the South East, Teesside, Humber and Scotland to offshore carbon storage under the North Sea. The firm said the operating costs would be £34bn annually, and the benefits to the national economy £164bn.

Summit Power建议将东南部，Teesside，Humber和苏格兰的工业区与北海的海上碳储存连接起来。 该公司表示，每年的运营成本为340亿英镑，对国民经济的收益为1640亿英镑。

In March this year, the UK’s first CCUS demonstration plant opened in Cheshire. The Runcorn facility, owned by Econic Technologies and supported by the EU, converts C02 into polyols – which are used to make foam-like materials for bedding, footwear and cars.

今年3月，英国第一家CCUS示范工厂在Cheshire投产。 由Econic Technologies所有，并由欧盟支持的Runcorn工厂，将二氧化碳转化为多元醇 - 多元醇用于制造床、鞋类和汽车用的泡沫材料。
