The hope is that the gas will stay deep underground for millennia rather than entering the atmosphere as a heat-trapping pollutant.

我们宁愿二氧化碳在地下沉睡一千年，也不愿把它释放到大气中来使大气变暖。

To reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (and therefore lessen global warming), some researchers are studying ways of sequestering it in underground reservoirs.

为了减少大气中二氧化碳含量，缓解全球变暖压力，研究人员正在寻求一种方法，可以把二氧化碳储存在一个地下储藏室。

But the German carbon capture plan has ended with CO2 being pumped directly into the atmosphere, following local opposition at it being stored underground.

但是德国的碳捕获计划由于当地居民的反对已经被中止。二氧化碳依旧被直接排放到大气中。

Before we started torching carbon stored in forests and then carbon stored underground as coal and oil, the carbon dioxide concentration of our atmosphere was about 280 parts per million (ppm).
