The idea is to “capture” the carbon dioxide that is emitted in power plants and other big factories when fossil fuels are burned, thereby preventing it from entering the atmosphere. The captured carbon is then pumped into underground storage sites such as empty oil fields and other suitable locations.
第二大意义深远的技术被称作：“碳的捕获和储存。”其理念是将发电厂和其他大工厂在燃烧化石燃料时所排放的二氧化碳“捕获”，从而阻止其被排入大气。被捕获的碳会被注入空的油田和其他适合的地下贮存处。
