一 | By Liu Xinyu and Wo Xinyao (ECNS) – The "China-Canada Youth Cultural Heritage Conservation International Volunteer Service" program and the China-Canada (Chongqing) Youth Cultural Heritage Art Exchange Camp were held in Chongqing from August 5 to 13. The event aimed to place Chinese and foreign youth at the forefront of cultural heritage conservation, giving them a direct understanding of China's approaches and models in heritage protection. During the event, a group of Chinese-Canadian youth visited the Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theatre, the Dazu Rock Carvings and other cultural sites. Through Sichuan opera experiences, heritage explorations and urban sketching, they gained a deeper understanding of cultural preservation. After the event, the young participants' heritage-themed artworks and "heritage guardian diaries" will be exhibited in Ottawa, Canada, introducing Chongqing's cultural heritage and China's conservation philosophy to local communities. Yiyi Kong, a Chinese-Canadian teenager, told China News Service (CNS): "From the boardwalk at Eling Park, we saw the cityscape of Chongqing -- the towering buildings rising and falling across the hills. It gave me a real sense of the city's unique charm. Once we entered the park, the trees were lush and thick, and we felt like we were stepping into a beautiful garden right in the middle of Chongqing. I think Chongqing is a truly magical city, full of so many different elements." Eva Wang, another Chinese-Canadian participant, told CNS: "I tried on Sichuan opera makeup at the theatre, and later I did sketching at Mountain City Alley in Chongqing. People were passing by all around me, but during that half-hour of sketching, the world seemed to go quiet. I want to capture these details in my drawings and bring them back to Canada, so my friends can see that Chongqing is more than just what you see in short videos. With my eyes and my brush, I want to show the real China to the world." Linya Feng, a Chinese-Canadian teenager, told CNS: "I plan to make the Dazu Rock Carvings a long-term subject of study and to spread the outstanding traditional culture of China to the world." The event was supported by the Chongqing Luhai International Communication Foundation, the Dazu Rock Carving Research Institute, the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and other organizations. 。资料图根据倡导碳捕集与封存(CCS)的智囊团Global CCS Institute的一份新报告，在全球范围内，捕集和封存加热地球的二氧化碳的能力在过去12个月内增长了44%。这包括从最臭名昭著的污染源的烟囱排放中清除二氧化碳的项目：发电厂、天然气加工厂、炼油厂、氢气生产商、水泥和钢铁厂以及石化和合成肥料制造商。现在，只有30个CCS设施在运行，11个正在建设。但根据全球CCS研究所的数据，还有153个碳捕集与封存项目正在开发中。在全球196个在建项目中，仅在2022年就有61个新项目开始实施。纵观报告中列出的2022年正在运行或正在建设的CCS设施，The Verge发现，大多数项目都跟石油和天然气纠缠在一起。约60%的项目是由化石燃料公司和/或旨在捕获来自化石燃料发电厂、石油化工设施以及跟化石燃料相关的工业化肥和氢气生产等主要气体消费行业的排放。

二 | 其中30个设施已经使用或计划使用捕获的碳来进行一种叫做强化采油的过程，在这种过程中，化石燃料公司将二氧化碳射入地下以推高难以到达的石油。有了这些数字，难怪一些环保组织对碳捕集作为一种气候解决方案持怀疑态度。许多人担心该技术只会加深经济对化石燃料的依赖，而不是帮助迎来一个更清洁能源的时代。像这些团体称碳捕集技术不是化石燃料的万能药有几个原因：首先，它通常不能百分之百地捕获像工业工厂这样的污染源产生的二氧化碳。

三 | 如在路易斯安那州最大的工业温室气体排放源--一家合成氨厂建造碳捕集设施的计划，在完成后应该每年捕集200万公吨的二氧化碳--尽管该厂在一年中产生了1000万公吨的温室气体。而这只是把二氧化碳考虑在内。氨厂还位于路易斯安那州的“癌症巷”中，这是一条85英里的“化学走廊”，上面布满了炼油厂和石化厂，这些工厂排放的空气污染物与该州较高的癌症发病率有关。非营利组织Center for International Environmental Law的总裁兼CEO Carroll Muffett上周在路易斯安那州的项目宣布后对The Verge说：“像这样的项目是一个大规模的环保工具。
