Today, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory released a report of the Mission Innovation Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Experts’ Workshop held September 26–28, 2017 in Houston, Texas.  The Workshop, hosted by the United States in conjunction with Saudi Arabia, brought together 260 of the world’s leading CCUS experts from academia and industry.

今天，美国能源部（DOE）化石能源办公室和橡树岭国家实验室发布了2017年9月26日至28日在休斯敦（得克萨斯州）举办的碳捕集，利用和存储（CCUS）使命创新专家研讨会的报告。由美国与沙特阿拉伯共同举办的研讨会汇集了来自学术界和工业界的260位世界领先的CCUS专家。

The report was released at the Mission Innovation CCUS Roundtable today in Malmo, Sweden at the third Mission Innovation Ministerial (MI-3). Both Deputy Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette and Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Steven Winberg took part in discussing the role of CCUS technologies in global de-carbonization efforts.

该报告于今天在瑞典马尔默的CCUS创新圆桌会议上发布，即创新部长级会议（MI-3）。能源部副部长Dan Brouillette和化石能源部助理秘书Steven Winberg参与讨论了CCUS技术在全球脱碳工作中的作用。

Globally, power and industry account for about 50 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, and CCUS is among the few, key technologies that can prevent carbon dioxide (CO2) from entering the atmosphere.  While initial development of CCUS technology primarily focused on decarbonizing the power sector, the technology has evolved to include energy-intensive industries such as cement, steel, chemicals, and many other manufacturing sectors.   

在全球范围内，电力和工业占所有温室气体排放量的约50％，而CCUS是防止二氧化碳（CO2）进入大气的少数关键技术之一。尽管CCUS技术的初步发展主要集中在电力行业的脱碳，但该技术已发展到包括能源密集型行业，如水泥，钢铁，化学品和许多其他制造业部门。

The Mission Innovation CCUS Experts’ Workshop discussed basic research and development (R&D) needs in CO2 capture, CO2 utilization, geologic storage, and cross-cutting CCUS topics. Experts created an international consensus on the most critical scientific challenges associated with CCUS, and they established a set of Priority Research Directions (PRDs), which have the potential to make a significant impact on CCUS technology performance.  The report includes 30 PRDs to guide future CCUS R&D.

CCUS使命创新专家研讨会讨论了二氧化碳捕集，二氧化碳利用，地质储存以及横贯CCUS主题的基础研究和开发（R＆D）需求。专家们就与CCUS相关的最重要科学挑战达成了国际共识，并建立了一套优先研究方向（PRD），这些方向有可能对CCUS技术性能产生重大影响。该报告包括30个PRD，以指导未来的CCUS研发。

Mission Innovation is a ministerial-level initiative, launched in 2015 with the goal to dramatically accelerate global clean energy innovation over the next two decades and beyond—a definitive time period for a future global energy mix that is clean, affordable, and reliable.  Mission Innovation intends to work closely with the private sector as it increases its investment in earlier-stage clean energy technologies that emerge from government research and development programs, as the private sector plays a vital role in the commercialization and cost-effectiveness of clean energy breakthroughs.

使命创新是一项部长级举措，于2015年启动，目标是在未来二十年及以后大幅加快全球清洁能源创新 - 这是未来全球能源组合的一个明确的时期，它干净、实惠、可靠。使命创新计划与私营部门密切合作，因为它增加了对政府研究和发展计划中出现的早期清洁能源技术的投资，因为私营部门在清洁能源突破的商业化和成本效益方面发挥着重要作用。
