I recently attended a workshop called "Delivering the Clean Growth Plan".For those that are not aware of the Clean Growth Plan this is a significant initiative that sets out the UK's agenda for decarbonising all sectors of the UK economy through the next decade. The UK Government plans to spend £2.5bn to support low carbon innovation. A core element of this strategy is a new UK Government Strategy on CCUS. There are three elements to the UK's plan

我最近参加了一个名为“实现清洁增长计划”的研讨会。对于那些不了解清洁增长计划的人来说，这是一个重要的举措，它列出了英国在未来十年中将英国所有经济部门脱碳的议程。 英国政府计划斥资25亿英镑支持低碳创新。 这一战略的核心内容是英国政府关于CCUS的新战略。 英国的计划有三个要素：

1. ​​Deploy CCUS by late 2030's subject to the costs coming down

2. Collaborate with international partners to drive down the cost of CCUS

3. Invest in innovation to support cost reduction and deployment in the UK.

1. 在2030年底前部署CCUS，但成本下降

2. 与国际合作伙伴合作，降低CCUS的成本

3. 投资创新，以支持英国的成本降低和部署。

Initiatives the UK Government have set running to achieve these aims are:

​英国政府已经着手实现这些目标的举措是：

• - ​The establishment of a Ministerial–led CCUS Council to oversee everything
  
• - Set up a CCUS Cost Challenge Taskforce to report by mid- 2018. Not wishing to sound cynical: we had a cost reduction task force before which ran during the last CCUS competition, let's hope this delivers more.
  
• - Since the seminar, we have heard the UK with Saudi Arabia will now lead the Mission Innovation CCUS Challenge, thus taking a more international lead in CCUS innovation.
  
• - Next steps will be to look at investment models for both industry and power projects and infrastructure.
  
• - Test industrial CCUS by working with cluster projects like the Teesside Collective and others.
  

1. 成立由部长领导的CCUS理事会来监督所有事情

2. 建立一个CCUS成本挑战特别工作组，以便在2018年年中前报告。不希望听起来愤世嫉俗：我们在上次CCUS竞赛期间有一个成本削减工作小组，我们希望这可以带来更多。

3. 自研讨会以来，我们听说英国与沙特阿拉伯将领导Mission Mission CCUS挑战赛，从而在CCUS创新方面取得更多国际领先。

4. 接下来的步骤将是关注工业和电力项目和基础设施的投资模式。

5. 通过与Teesside Collective等集群项目合作测试工业CCUS。

These initiatives all sound practical and hopefully will lead somewhere more than the last two CCS competitions did.However, my positive take is after the disappointment of the last CCS competition this puts the UK back in the game on CCUS and moving forward with concrete plans.

这些举措都非常实用，希望能够超过过去两届CCS比赛的领先位置。但是，我的积极态度是在上次CCS比赛的失望之后，英国队重新回到了CCUS的比赛中，并推进了具体的计划。

What was most interesting are the two hydrogen/CCUS projects the UK has conceived. The Leeds H21 Projects will use hydrogen produced from steam methane reforming with CO2 captured and stored in the North Sea. The hydrogen will be used to decarbonise domestic cooking and heating. This is a truly unique idea. Then we have HyNet project, which will generate hydrogen from natural gas with the CO2, captured and stored in the Morecombe Bay gas field's offshore Liverpool. In this case the hydrogen infrastructure will be used for decarbonising industry and possibly also the transport sector. Again another trail-blazing project for the UK.

最有趣的是英国构想的两个氢气/ CCUS项目。 Leeds H21项目将使用蒸汽甲烷重整产生的氢气，二氧化碳被捕获并储存在北海。 氢将用于家庭烹饪和加热脱碳。 这是一个真正独特的想法。 然后，我们有HyNet项目，该项目将利用二氧化碳从天然气中产生氢气，并将其捕获并储存在 Morecombe Bay气田离岸的Liverpool。 在这种情况下，氢气基础设施将用于脱碳工业，也可能用于运输部门。 再次为英国开创了另一项开创性的项目。

Not CCUS related but interesting to note, was the fact highlighted at the meeting that whilst power sector emissions in the UK have decreased, transport sector emissions have overtaken them. In this instance it seems we are not alone (and I do not mean in the aliens are with us context) a similar situation is developing in the USA as well. There was an interesting discussion panel on how to resolve this with the opposing forces debating the values of electric vehicles against hydrogen vehicles. On this issue, I think electric vehicles are leading the charge globally and please ignore the pun.

与CCUS无关但值得注意的是，会议强调的事实是，尽管英国的电力行业排放量下降，但交通行业的排放量已经超过了它们。 在这种情况下，似乎我们并不孤单（我并不是说外星人与我们同在），但美国也出现了类似的情况。 有一个有趣的讨论小组讨论如何解决这个问题，反对力量讨论电动汽车对氢气车辆的价值。 在这个问题上，我认为电动汽车正在全球领先，请忽略这个双关语。
