The globally prevalent trend to reduce carbon emissions is a vitally imperative fact that has been driving carbon capture and storage market. Perpetually impelled by the urgent requirement to brainstorm newer methodologies to uphold energy efficiency, numerous governmental bodies across the globe have been attempting to exploit the CCS technology, which can certainly be deemed one of the major factors fueling carbon capture and storage industry share. A crucial precedent validating the legitimacy of the aforementioned declaration is Scottish energy minister's announcement regarding the requirement of CCS as a critical tool to accomplish reduced energy consumption across the United Kingdom.

减少碳排放的全球普遍趋势是推动碳捕获和存储市场发展的极其重要的事实。 由于迫切需要集思广益以采取更新的方法来维护能源效率，全球许多政府机构一直试图利用CCS技术，这当然被认为是促进碳捕获和存储行业共享的主要因素之一。 验证上述声明合法性的关键先例是苏格兰能源部长宣布CCS作为实现整个英国能源消耗降低的关键工具。

If reports are to be believed, the Scottish energy minister affirmed that as per the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the costs to accomplish even a 2°C climate change without CCS would be a mammoth 138% more than the current value. Considering the country's past records of unfortunate failures regarding the implementation of CCS, it has now become even more vital that the UK government comes up with a robust policy draft that includes working in tandem with the Scottish and other governments, to consolidate UK's position in the overall carbon capture and storage market. It needs to be remembered though, that the UK government has been extremely tenacious as far as its energy agendas are concerned. In 2008, the government had introduced the Climate Change Act with an aim to lower GHG emissions up to 80% by 2050, from 1990, which has been ideally considered a major step toward the propulsion of the regional carbon capture and storage industry. In 2015, the UK government also suggested that the deployment of CCS technology is likely to save close to USD 38.69 billion by 2024 – an affirmation that is certain to encourage other regional governments to adopt the CCS technology, thereby pushing the overall carbon capture and storage market a few notches higher. What seems to be conclusive from this volley of information is that UK carbon capture and storage industry is likely to witness lucrative growth prospects in the many years ahead, driven by the extensive pipeline of CCS projects and the rising demand in the country for cost-effective technologies to accomplish the set decarbonization targets.

如果报道属实，苏格兰能源部长肯定，根据政府间气候变化专门委员会的观点，如果没有CCS，实现2°C的气候变化所需的成本将比目前的价值高出138％。考虑到该国过去实施CCS的不幸失败纪录，现在英国政府提出一份强有力的政策草案，包括与苏格兰政府和其他政府一起工作，巩固英国在整体碳捕获和存储市场。但需要记住的是，就其能源议程而言，英国政府一直非常顽强。 2008年，政府出台了“气候变化法案”，其目标是到2050年将温室气体排放量降低80％，从1990年开始，这一理念被认为是推动区域碳捕集与封存行业迈出的重要一步。 2015年，英国政府还建议，到2024年，CCS技术的部署可能会节省近386.9亿美元 - 这肯定会鼓励其他地区政府采用CCS技术，从而推动整体碳捕集和封存市场上涨了几个档次。从这些信息中可以得出结论，英国的碳捕集与封存行业很可能会在未来多年内见证利润丰厚的增长前景，这得益于大量的CCS项目以及该国对成本效益的需求上升技术来完成设定的脱碳目标。

Carbon capture and storage market trends across the Scandinavia belt: Norway betting big on CCS technology

The Scandinavian countries have quite profoundly established their foothold across carbon capture and storage industry. Norway in particular, has garnered the reputation of being quite a powerful player in carbon capture and storage market. The country's government has imposed exorbitant taxes on carbon emissions since long, encouraged by which, Statoil, the state-owned energy company, has captured and stored close to a mammoth million tons of carbon dioxide under North Sea bed, on an annual basis, since the year 1996. The program brought in a plethora of environmental and monetary benefits for the nation, on the grounds of which Statoil reproduced the process at Snøhvit - its under-sea natural gas drilling station, further consolidating its position in Europe carbon capture and storage industry.

 斯堪的纳维亚国家已经在碳捕集与封存行业建立了深刻的立足点。 特别是挪威，已经获得了在碳捕集与封存市场上相当强大的声誉。 该国政府长期以来一直对碳排放征收过高的税收，因为国家能源公司挪威国家石油公司每年都在北海床下捕获并储存近百万吨二氧化碳， 该计划为该国带来了过多的环境和金钱利益，其中挪威国家石油公司在其海底天然气钻井站Snøhvit再现了这一过程，进一步巩固了其在欧洲碳捕获和储存方面的地位 行业。

The Scandinavian kingdom, renewed with the success of its CCS program, aimed to educate other geographies in carbon capture and storage market, regarding its technical expertise about CCS, on the grounds of which an alliance was inked in the year 2010, between Oslo and London. In accordance with the same, Britain's companies were expected to make substantial investments in carbon capture technology through pipeline systems under the sea bed, while the carbon dioxide would be injected in the ground. Through this deal, Norway and Britain aimed to use the existing under-sea infrastructure to transport carbon dioxide directly to storage wells – a move that was forecast to have a substantial impact on carbon capture and storage market. In fact, the Norwegian oil ministry claimed that this sort of system was likely to curb close to 270 million tons of carbon emissions/year by the year 2030 and over 400 million tons by 2050, which gradually encouraged the governmental bodies of other geographies across carbon capture and storage industry to follow suit.

 斯堪的纳维亚王国在CCS计划取得成功的同时，旨在教育其他碳捕获与封存市场的地区，关于其在CCS方面的技术专业知识，理由是2010年在奥斯陆和伦敦之间签署了一个联盟协议。同样，英国的公司有望通过海底管道系统对碳捕集技术进行大量投资，而二氧化碳将注入地下。通过这笔交易，挪威和英国的目标是利用现有的海底基础设施将二氧化碳直接运输到储油井 - 这一举措预计会对碳捕集和封存市场产生重大影响。实际上，挪威石油部声称，到2030年，这种系统可能会遏制每年2.7亿吨的碳排放量，到2050年会减少4亿吨以上，这逐渐鼓励其他地区的政府机构跨碳排放捕捉和存储行业效仿。

One of the major concerns associated with CCS technology that may possibly hamper the growth matrix of carbon capture and storage market is that the carbon dioxide gas may possibly leak from its permanent storage and return to the atmosphere. However, a group of researchers from the Princeton University have recently published a paper, categorically stating that the CCS procedure would not be prone to leakage or exorbitant costs associated with leaks. The research has also affirmed that the leakage levels, based on the simulations at hypothetical storage locations, would most certainly not lead to extensive costs in the overall energy system. Princeton's research study thus stands to provide a positive boost to the overall carbon capture and storage industry, which as per research estimates, is forecast to surpass a valuation of USD 6 billion by 2024.

 与碳捕集与封存技术相关的主要问题之一可能会阻碍碳捕集与封存市场的增长矩阵，即二氧化碳气体可能会从其永久储存中泄漏并返回大气。 然而，普林斯顿大学的一组研究人员最近发表了一篇论文，明确指出CCS程序不容易泄漏或与泄漏相关的昂贵费用。 该研究还确认，基于假设储存位置的模拟，泄漏水平肯定不会导致整个能源系统的大量成本。 因此，普林斯顿的研究报告将为整个碳捕集与封存行业提供积极的推动力，根据研究估计，预计到2024年将超过60亿美元的估值。

It needs to be remembered that this technology, being at its infancy, has still not been commercially deployed on a large scale across the globe, owing to which the overall carbon capture and storage market is still in the nascent stages of development. Nonetheless, the underlying fact that it is a rather effective strategy for climate change mitigation, in an era where fossil fuels are still being deployed, in itself serves to prove that this fraternity would scale massive heights of success in the forthcoming years. Not to mention, with the backing of regulatory and governmental bodies striving to achieve clean energy goals, it is imperative that carbon capture and storage industry will traverse a path of profitability, having registered a valuation of USD 2.5 billion in 2016.

需要记住的是，这项尚处于初级阶段的技术尚未在全球大规模商业化应用，因此整个碳捕集与封存市场仍处于发展的初始阶段。 尽管如此，在化石燃料仍在部署的时代，这是缓解气候变化的一个非常有效的策略，这本身就有助于证明这个兄弟会在未来几年将取得巨大的成功。 更不用说，在监管机构和政府机构努力实现清洁能源目标的后盾下，碳捕集与封存行业必将走向盈利之路，2016年的估值为25亿美元。
