英国化工巨头英力士（Ineos）旗下的一家财团称，首批被捕获的二氧化碳已被封存在丹麦北海枯竭的油田中。这一名为“海绿石”（Greensand）的项目是世界首个跨境碳捕集与封存（CCS）项目，旨在证明其在应对全球变暖、减少碳排放方面的可行性。据悉，英力士从其位于比利时的工厂捕获二氧化碳，液化后的二氧化碳被船舶跨境运输至丹麦北海区域，然后安全永久地封存在海床下1800米深处的英力士Nini油田中。“海绿石”项目的目标是从2030年开始，每年在该地区封存800万吨的二氧化碳，并大力推动碳捕集与封存（CCS）技术的发展。“这表明二氧化碳可以被捕集、运输并安全地封存在世界任何地方”，英力士董事长拉特克利夫表示。

        A consortium led by UK-based chemicals company INEOS is claiming the world’s first injection of captured carbon dioxide into a depleted oil field in the Danish North Sea. The initiative, called Project Greensand, is the first venture to achieve cross-border carbon capture and storage (CCS), and is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of CCS to reduce carbon emissions in the fight against climate change. The carbon dioxide was captured at an INEOS site in Belgium, tranformed into liquid form, and successfully transported to the Danish North Sea for permanent storage at the INEOS-operated Nini field at a depth of around 1,800 meters below the seabed. By 2030, Project Greensand aims to store up to 8 million tonnes of CO2 per year in this area while continuing to make significant contributions to understanding and growth of carbon storage technology. "It is the first time that carbon dioxide has been successfully captured, transported cross-border and safely stored offshore anywhere in the world," said Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the chairman of INEOS.

metric adj. 公制的；米制的；公尺的 

美/'mɛtrɪk/ 英/'metrɪk/

tonne=metric ton 公吨

Tips：公吨（metric ton）属于公制单位，其基本单位有表长度的米（m），表质量的千克（kg）等。国际单位制是国际标准计量组织在公制基础上制定公布的，是我国的法定计量单位。但在航海领域，因为船舶在少有参照物的情况下长距离航行，不能忽视地球曲率的影响，不得不涉及经纬度，所以通常使用英制单位，比如节、海里等。一海里对应地球椭圆子午线上纬度1分所对应的弧长，使航行中角度和时间之间的换算更方便。
