与人类活动有关的二氧化碳排放量比以往任何时候都高。随着新的化石燃料发电厂、不断增长的能源密集型工业和新的化石燃料来源的开发，排放量的进一步增加似乎不可避免。碳捕获和碳储存的迅速应用是解决现有和未来来源排放的一种备受推崇的手段。然而，尽管广泛和成功的研究和开发，部署碳捕获和储存的进展已经停滞。作为最大的二氧化碳排放源，没有一家化石燃料发电厂正在使用碳捕获和储存技术，公共支持的示范项目也在努力交付实际项目。然而，碳捕获和储存仍然是国家和全球减排方案的核心组成部分。各国政府必须要么通过更加积极的市场支持和排放监管来增加对碳捕获和储存的承诺，要么接受其失败，并认识到燃烧化石燃料发电的持续扩大对实现减缓气候变化的目标构成严重威胁。
Anthropogenic energy-related CO2emissions are higher than ever. With new fossil-fuel power plants, growing energy-intensive industries and new sources of fossil fuels in development, further emissions increase seems inevitable. The rapid application of carbon capture and storage is a much heralded means to tackle emissions from both existing and future sources. However, despite extensive and successful research and development, progress in deploying carbon capture and storage has stalled. No fossil-fuel power plants, the greatest source of CO2emissions, are using carbon capture and storage, and publicly supported demonstration programmes are struggling to deliver actual projects. Yet, carbon capture and storage remains a core component of national and global emissions-reduction scenarios. Governments have to either increase commitment to carbon capture and storage through much more active market support and emissions regulation, or accept its failure and recognize that continued expansion of power generation from burning fossil fuels is a severe threat to attaining objectives in mitigating climate change.
