Novel CO2 Removal Technologies Must Scale Up at Unprecedented Rates to Meet 1.5C Target, Study Warns
研究警告：新型二氧化碳移除技術必須以前所未有的速度擴大規模，以達成 1.5°C 目標
#2
A landmark report has concluded that novel methods of CO2 removal must expand at rates exceeding even the rapid deployment of solar energy technology.
一份具里程碑意義的報告得出結論，新型的二氧化碳移除方法必須以甚至超過太陽能技術快速部署的速度進行擴張。

Were the world to have any realistic prospect of limiting global heating to 1.5C, these emerging technologies would need to achieve what researchers have described as highly ambitious growth trajectories over the coming decade.
若世界想要有任何將全球暖化限制在 1.5°C 內的現實前景，這些新興技術將需要在未來十年內實現研究人員所描述的高度雄心勃勃的增長軌跡。

According to the study, machines capable of extracting atmospheric carbon directly from the air, along with chemical processes such as biochar production, currently constitute a mere 0.1 percent of the 2.2 billion tonnes of CO2 removed globally each year.
根據這項研究，能夠直接從空氣中提取大氣碳的機器，以及生物炭生產等化學過程，目前僅佔全球每年移除的 22 億噸二氧化碳中的 0.1%。

The overwhelming majority of existing removal efforts rely on land-based interventions, notably reforestation, which face inherent spatial constraints.
現有的二氧化碳移除努力中，絕大多數依賴於陸基干預措施，特別是重新造林，而這些措施面臨著固有的空間限制。

Researchers have emphasized that the next five years will prove critical in determining whether these nascent technologies can fulfill their anticipated role.
研究人員強調，接下來的五年將被證明在決定這些新興技術是否能發揮其預期作用方面至關重要。
#7
The report revealed that novel forms of carbon dioxide removal have been growing at approximately 40 percent annually, yet they start from such a negligible base that a structural decline in this growth rate could prove catastrophic.
報告顯示，新型二氧化碳移除技術一直以每年約 40% 的速度增長，然而其起點基數如此微不足道，以至於這種增長率的結構性下降可能會被證明是災難性的。
#8
To bridge the gap between governmental pledges and the requirements of the Paris climate agreement, these technologies would need to match or surpass the expansion rates historically achieved by solar panels and electric vehicles.
為了彌補政府承諾與巴黎氣候協定要求之間的差距，這些技術需要達到或超越太陽能板和電動車在歷史上所取得的擴張速度。
#9
Only one-fifth of planned capacity in recent years has actually been delivered, the researchers cautioned.
研究人員警告說，近年來計劃產能中僅有五分之一實際交付。
#10
William Lamb, a scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and co-author of the report, argued that current national commitments fall far short of what climate science demands.
波茨坦氣候影響研究所的科學家兼該報告的共同作者威廉·蘭姆主張，目前的國家承諾遠低於氣候科學的要求。
#11
Countries have collectively pledged roughly 2.7 billion tonnes of carbon removal by 2035 and approximately 3.6 billion by 2050, yet established climate pathways require substantially greater volumes.
各國共同承諾到 2035 年大約移除 27 億噸二氧化碳，到 2050 年大約移除 36 億噸，然而既定的氣候路徑則需要大幅增加的移除量。

Should governments fail to accelerate investment in these technologies, the prospect of meeting the 1.5C target will diminish considerably, the study concluded.
該研究總結道，若各國政府未能加速對這些技術的投資，達成 1.5°C 目標的前景將大幅縮減。
