碳捕获与储存进展刻不容缓：GCCSI负责人Brad Page专访Carbon Capture and Storage Advancement Is Urgent:An Exclusive Interv

不能也不应该忽视化石燃料使用量的增长没有放缓的迹象。在几个方面，煤炭正引领着这一潮流。这种增长大部分来自发展中国家，而且将继续来自发展中国家。在大多数发展中国家，许多发电厂已经运行了不到十年，预计在未来很长一段时间内还会继续运行。此外，要求许多国家（不论是否发展中国家）放弃国内可获得的、安全的燃料来源也是一项艰巨的任务。尽管如此，全球都在感受到实现增长目标/供应能源与解决重大环境和健康问题之间的紧张关系。

I t cannot and should not be ignored that the growth in fossil fuel usage has shown no signs of slowing. In several respects, coal is leading this charge. Most of this growth has come, and will continue to come, from developing countries. In most developing countries many power plants have been operating for less than a decade and are expected to continue to operate long into the future. In addition, it is a tall order to ask many countries (developing or not) to abandon a domestically available, secure source of fuel. Still, the tension between meeting growth goals/ supplying energy and addressing major environmental and health issues is being felt globally.
