准确性高于假设:为什么对单一全球碳核算模型的需求从未如此强烈

水泥、钢铁和化工等重工业占全球二氧化碳排放总量的30%2) emissions. Given the industrial world is still largely fuelled by hydrocarbons, 为难以减排的行业制定切实可行的解决方案，对于实现低碳未来至关重要. 通常情况下，在这些行业内运营的公司不清楚如何确定可持续的脱碳战略. 虽然人们很容易把这些难以减排的行业视为脱碳不可行的, our carbon goals will not be met without them.
正是出于这个原因，全球各地的公司都被鼓励在其运营中部署和整合碳捕获技术. Despite being around for decades, the technology is widely misunderstood, proving detrimental to its potential. Understanding how to navigate this evolving technology, where hundreds of potential processes are developing, can often be overwhelming, resulting in some 碳捕集与封存(CCS)和碳捕集利用(CCU)项目 succumbing to pitfalls and bottlenecks.
In 2023, 395 CCS projects globally were in the pipeline for development. Today, only 43 of these are operational. With many carbon capture initiatives still in the front-end engineering and design (FEED) and pre-FEED phases, 如果我们要为这些项目带来保证和步伐，就必须尽早与这一领域的专家接触.
What makes an industry ‘hard to abate’?
重工业生产的产品对我们的现代生活方式至关重要. 从汽车到医院设备，再到我们家中几乎所有的东西，我们的世界都依赖于它们. While there are some sustainable or responsibly sourced options available, they are not yet produced at scale. Therefore, despite their emissions and energy intensity, products produced by heavy industries are here to stay (for now).
在任何部门实施脱碳项目都需要大量的财政投资, 尽管当行业更难脱碳时，这可能尤其具有挑战性. Heavy industrial companies tend to have long-life capital assets, typically around 40 years, 而提前退役以转向替代技术的代价是必须偿还的. 布鲁金斯学会估计，到2050年，重工业脱碳的总成本将在11万亿至21万亿美元之间, depending on the development of innovation, policy framework and the cost of renewable electricity.
除了价格之外，现有站点的物流往往也会带来挑战. Difficult ground conditions, building upon former landfills, 或者地下记录不完整或不准确以及空间高度受限的工厂，可能对脱碳技术的成功部署构成严重挑战. To overcome these risks, 必须在开发的早期阶段进行细致的评估和规划，以确保开发人员不会落入陷阱.
How can we understand carbon capture's potential?
Carbon capture is an important technological option for reducing CO2 碳排放和碳排放被许多人认为是实现低碳未来的关键. 全球各国政府已将其纳入其脱碳目标, with the UK aiming to capture and store between 20-30 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2030.
确定哪种技术类型最适合任何给定行业和特定站点可能具有挑战性, 通常需要进行可行性研究，在同类的基础上比较几个备选方案. 与具有深厚领域和实现专业知识的专家合作是必不可少的. 企业将从了解其排放数据和实施符合其具体目标的脱碳路线图中受益.
With more than 30 years of supporting experience, 伍德参与了全球目前正在进行的一半以上的碳捕获项目. Bringing together experience in advisory, technology evaluation, detailed engineering and project management, we enable clients to select an optimised, 具有高热动力或技术经济效益的解决方案，以及稳健实用的项目.
What is Wood doing to promote CCS?
Since 2022, Wood与C-Capture合作，支持XLR8CCS——一个开创性的碳捕获项目，专注于为难以减排的行业加速低成本碳捕获解决方案. 该倡议旨在建立工业规模的脱碳解决方案.
开发这个试点项目需要我们Wood的专家团队进行大量的前端工作, 包括完成碳捕获技术评估和预确定范围, 在每个伙伴地点安装和整合试验技术的可行性研究.
到目前为止，我们的经验让我们深入了解了重工业企业在脱碳方面最关心的压力点. 在每个新项目中考虑每一项新知识，对于简化这些部门实施碳捕集的方法至关重要.
There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to CCS. 因此，确定针对客户及其资产的脱碳战略对于确保其成功至关重要.
Decarbonising heavy industries like chemicals, 考虑到全球需求和排放的强度，水泥和钢铁是必不可少的. 如果不解决这些问题，我们就无法实现全球的碳减排目标. CCS therefore presents our biggest practical hope. 减少早期开发阶段因评估和规划不当而导致的瓶颈和延迟等风险，可能意味着实现净零排放的差异.
