OSLO (Reuters) - Norway on Thursday invited companies to submit bids to use subsea reservoirs to store carbon dioxide near the country’s largest oil and gas field, Troll. 

奥斯陆（路透社） - 周四挪威邀请公司提交进行投标，利用海底油藏进行碳封存，预计在该国最大的油气田Troll附近储存二氧化碳。

The Nordic country aims to develop a full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) by 2022 as part of its commitment to slow climate change after dropping such a project at its Mongstad refinery in 2013. 

北欧国家的目标是到2022年开发全面的碳捕集与封存技术（CCS），作为2013年在蒙斯塔德炼油厂放弃此类项目后减缓气候变化的承诺的一部分。

Norway’s oil and energy ministry said it planned to award permits to inject and store CO2 in the fourth-quarter of this year.  

挪威石油和能源部表示，计划在今年第四季度颁发注入和储存二氧化碳的许可证。

It will be the first project in the world to store CO2 offshore from other sources than petroleum production, a spokesman for the ministry said.  

该部门的一位发言人表示，这将是世界上第一个从石油生产以外的其他来源储存二氧化碳的项目。

The government has already asked Norway’s largest oil and gas firm Equinor to investigate the possibilities and potential costs of offshore storage. 

政府已经要求挪威最大的石油和天然气公司Equinor调查研究海上储存的可能性和潜在成本。

Last October, Shell and Total joined Equinor in developing the project which could initially store up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year captured from a few onshore industrial sites. 

去年10月，壳牌和道达尔开发了这一项目，该项目最初每年可从少数陆上工业场所储存多达150万吨二氧化碳。

The site could be potentially used in the future to store CO2 from elsewhere in Europe or the world, Equinor has said. 

Equinor表示，该地点未来可能会用于储存来自欧洲或世界其他地方的二氧化碳。

The plan is initially to bury CO2 emissions captured from several industrial sites in Norway, and potentially in the future from other sites in Europe. 

该计划最初是为了埋藏从挪威的几个工业场所捕获的二氧化碳排放量，并可能在未来从欧洲其他地点埋藏二氧化碳排放量。

Norway has pledged to cut emissions by at least 40 percent by 2030 from 1990 levels as part of a U.N. agreement on climate change. In 2016, however, they were three percent above the 1990 benchmark.

作为联合国气候变化协议的一部分，挪威已承诺到2030年将排放量从1990年的水平减少至少40％。然而，在2016年，他们比1990年的基准高出3％。

The Oil and gas industry is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions in Norway. 

石油和天然气工业是挪威温室气体排放的主要来源。

Emissions from Norwegian oil and gas production fell by 1.4 percent to 13.6 million in 2017 from the previous year, the industry lobby group said on Thursday. 

该行业游说团体周四表示，2017年挪威石油和天然气产量的排放量较上年下降1.4％至1,360万。

While oil production also fell by 2 percent year-on-year in 2017, natural gas output rose by 6 percent to an all-time high due to strong demand in Europe. 

虽然2017年石油产量同比下降2％，但由于欧洲需求旺盛，天然气产量增长了6％，达到历史最高水平。

The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has said it expected oil and gas production to reach near record levels by 2022 after the startup of several new fields. 

挪威石油管理局表示，预计在几个新油田启动后，到2022年石油和天然气产量将接近历史最高水平。
