There was also a less optimistic picture for the prospects of developing carbon capture and storage technology.

还有，研发碳捕获和储存技术的前景也不大乐观。

China needs carbon capture and storage technology to decrease its emissions from coal power, but the transition will be costly and difficult.

中国需要碳捕获和储存技术以减少燃煤电厂制造的碳排放。然而这场过渡势必耗资巨大且困难重重。

Since researchers around the world have only recently begun to ramp up projects on carbon capture and storage technology, the fix is wholly theoretical.

世界各地的研究人员最近才开始加大了对碳捕获和储存技术的项目研究。当然，这个修补工作是否奏效还只是一种假设。

Moreover, during this period, he expected carbon capture and storage technology to become cost-effective, thus helping to reduce or eliminate emissions from gas power stations.

The carbon capture and storage technology can strip carbon from fossil fuel exhaust gases and store it in rocks, but it is unproven at scale, trials are years behind schedule and it may not work in some areas of the world.

Success with shale gas will reduce dependence on imports and increase tax revenues, they say, but there is a downside: if it takes off, shale gas will shatter the UK's statutory climate change targets unless the government moves much faster with carbon capture and storage technology.
