Shell Backs Climate Technology Start-up for Emissions Reduction: Report
The company claims this method is particularly cost-effective, leveraging the high temperatures within industrial furnaces and boilers to minimize the additional energy needed compared to other capture technologies.Shell PLC (NYSE:SHEL), along with ENI S.p.A. (NYSE:E), reportedly have spearheaded an initial funding round for Boston-based climate technology start-up Mantel Capture.
壳牌公司（NYSE:SHEL）和埃尼公司（NYSE:E）据报道已经率先为总部位于波士顿的气候科技初创公司Mantel Capture进行了首次融资。
Mantel Capture is developing a method to use molten salts to capture carbon dioxide emissions from refineries, factories, and other industrial sites, reported Reuters.
Mantel Capture正在开发一种方法，利用熔融盐来捕捉炼油厂、工厂和其他工业场所的二氧化碳排放，据路透社报道。
Mantel aims to extract 95% of carbon from smokestack emissions using molten salts.
Mantel的目标是利用熔融盐从烟囱排放中提取95%的碳。
The company claims this method is particularly cost-effective, leveraging the high temperatures within industrial furnaces and boilers to minimize the additional energy needed compared to other capture technologies.
该公司声称这种方法特别具有成本效益，利用工业炉和锅炉内的高温，最大限度地减少了与其他捕捉技术相比所需的额外能源。
As per the report, the $30 million secured in the Series A round will enable Mantel to construct a demonstration project at a paper mill capable of capturing 1,800 metric tons of emissions annually—about ten times the half ton per day achieved in their laboratory tests.
据报道，A轮融资中获得的3000万美元将使Mantel能够在造纸厂建设一个示范项目，每年能够捕捉1800公吨的排放量——是他们在实验室测试中每天达到的半吨的十倍。
The report quoted Mantel CEO Cameron Halliday saying in an interview, "This is a technology that could radically change the energy industry, but there is still risk to what we're doing."
报道援引Mantel首席执行官卡梅隆·哈里迪在一次采访中的话：“这项技术可能从根本上改变能源行业，但我们所做的仍然存在风险。”
Halliday added, "At a scale of hundreds of thousands to millions of tons, Mantel could theoretically capture carbon at about $30 to $50 a ton, making it economically viable in many countries offering either incentives for carbon capture or taxing emissions, and far below competing systems."
哈里迪补充说：“在数十万到数百万吨的规模下，Mantel理论上可以以每吨30到50美元的价格捕捉碳，这使得它在许多国家具有经济可行性，因为这些国家要么提供碳捕捉的激励，要么对排放征税，远低于竞争系统的价格。”
As per the report, Hector MacQuarrie, a principal at Shell Ventures, noted that Shell will monitor pilot projects before fully committing to the technology.
据报道，壳牌风险投资的首席赫克托·麦夸里指出，壳牌将在充分承诺该技术之前监测试点项目。
However, he also mentioned that this technology could significantly advance carbon capture for industries that are difficult to decarbonize.
然而，他还提到这项技术可以显著促进难以脱碳的行业的碳捕捉。
Investors can gain exposure to Shell via Macquarie ETF Trust Macquarie Energy Transition ETF (NYSE:PWER) and VanEck Natural Resources ETF (NYSE:HAP).
投资者可以通过Macquarie ETF Trust Macquarie能源转型ETF（NYSE：PWER）和VanEck自然资源ETF（NYSE：HAP）来获得对壳牌的曝光。
