Hydrogen is widely promoted as a sustainable fuel for the future. It is packed with energy and – unlike fossil fuels such as petrol, diesel and coal – does not emit greenhouse gases as waste, producing only water as a by-product. However, one major challenge is how to store and carry sufficient amounts for use in vehicles.
氢富含能量并且不像诸如汽油、柴油和煤等化石燃料会排放出作为废物的温室气体，其副产品只有水。因此，氢被广泛推广为未来的可持续燃料。但是，用氢作为燃料的一项重大挑战是怎样在车辆上储存和装载足够用量的氢。
At the first of the final two expert-led events hosted by The University of Nottingham at Shanghai Expo 2010, some of the leading researchers from the UK and China (now the world’s number-one investor in renewable energy technologies) will meet to review the very latest developments in hydrogen fuel storage.
诺丁汉大学在2010年上海世博会期间还将主办最后两场由专家牵头的活动。在倒数第二场活动中，来自英国和中国（现在是可再生能源技术上世界第一的投资方）的一些领先研究人员将相互会面以回顾氢燃料储存的最新发展。
The one-day workshop, Alternative Energy: Hydrogen Storage, on Wednesday 20 October will enable chemistry researchers and nanotechnologists to present latest developments in the field to delegates in the London ZEDPavilion at Shanghai Expo and assess whether hydrogen is truly the fuel of the future.
名为替代能源：氢储存的工作坊将于10月20日（星期三）举办，为期一天。届时化学研究人员和纳米技术人员将在上海世博会的伦敦零碳馆为代表们展示该领域的最新发展并且评估氢是否是真正的未来燃料。

Event organiser Professor Neil Champness, Chair of Chemical Nanoscience in the School of Chemistry at The University of Nottingham, said: “One of the major challenges facing the global community is finding alternatives to fossil fuels, tackling climate change and pollution. One possibility is the use of hydrogen as a fuel which produces only water as a by-product when used to produce electricity.
活动组织者、诺丁汉大学化学院化学纳米科学主席尼尔•钱普尼斯（Neil Champness）教授说：“全球社区面临的重大挑战之一是寻找化石燃料的替代品，以此应对气候变化和污染。其中一种可能是使用发电时副产品只有水的氢作为燃料。”
“Storing hydrogen is critical to bringing hydrogen to the wider marketplace. This event at Expo 2010 is a great opportunity for leading experts from the UK and China to discuss how to resolve this problem.”
“将氢带入更广阔市场的关键是氢储存。对来自英国和中国的领先专家而言，2010年世博会上的此次活动是讨论怎样解决这个问题的大好机会。”
Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Professor of Engineering Chris Rudd, who leads The University of Nottingham’s six-month presence at Shanghai World Expo, is responsible for technology transfer at the University. He sees great global potential for Nottingham’s developments in this high priority research area. “The world’s transport infrastructures need new vehicles capable of utilising fuels which power effectively but pollute less.
诺丁汉大学副校长、工程学教授克里斯•路德（Chris Rudd）负责大学的技术转移事务，并且带领诺丁汉大学团队参与为期六个月的上海世博会。他认为诺丁汉大学在这一高度优先的研究领域的发展具有巨大的全球潜力。他说：“世界的交通基础设施需要能够使用有效供能、 污染少的燃料的新式车辆。”
“This is just the latest event to showcase our expertise in this area. Others have addressed sustainable development in China, green manufacturing, global food security, and low-carbon planning and building. Through our unique presence at Shanghai Expo 2010, this University is building far-sighted collaborations with Chinese researchers and industrial partners that share our commitment to managing climate change.”
“此次工作坊是展示我们在该领域的专长的最新活动。其他活动涉及了中国的可持续发展、绿色制造、全球粮食保障以及低碳规划和建造。通过以独一无二的方式参与2010年上海世博会，诺丁汉大学正在与同我们一样致力于管理气候变化的中国研究人员和行业合作伙伴建立具有远见的协作。”
Nanoscientist Prof Champness, specialises in molecular organization, including surface supramolecular assembly and organization in the solid-state via crystal engineering. He will be joined by Prof Robert Mokaya, Professor of Materials Chemistry, and Prof Martin Schroder, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at The University of Nottingham, who will present on hydrogen storage in templated and activated carbons, modulation and control of hydrogen storage by metal organic framework (MOF) polymers.
纳米科学家钱普尼斯教授的专长是分子组织，其中包括通过晶体工程在固态情况下组装和组织表面超分子。此外，诺丁汉大学的材料化学教授罗伯特•摩卡雅（Robert Mokaya）和无机化学教授马丁•施罗德（Martin Schroder）将介绍模板化活性碳中的氢储存以及通过金属有机骨架聚合物的方式调制和控制氢储存。

The University of Nottingham’s world changing research based on the theme ‘Zero Carbon, Zero Waste’ is on display at the Shanghai World Exposition 2010 until October 31. Millions of visitors are expected to visit the Expo and many will have an opportunity to explore — through words, pictures and video — The University of Nottingham’s leading research in sustainability as part of a collaborative exhibition with ZEDfactory.
上海世博会期间将展出诺丁汉大学以“零碳、零废物”为主题的、能够改变世界的研究成果，展览将持续到10月31日。数以万计的游客去上海世博会参观，许多人将有机会通过文字、图片和视频了解诺丁汉大学领先的可持续性研究，这些研究也是与英国零能耗工厂协作展览的组成部分。
The University is also partnering with the East Midlands Development Agency (emda) helping to attract Chinese investment to the East Midlands through the work of emda’s East Midlands China Business Bureau. Last month, emda announced that the Chinese car manufacturer, Chang’an Automobile Co, will establish its UK Research and Development facility at No 1 Nottingham Science Park, creating up to 200 new jobs.
英国诺丁汉大学是英国中东部地区发展署的合作伙伴，通过英国中东部地区发展署中国业务办公室的工作，帮助吸引中国公司前往英国的中东部投资。上个月，英国中东部地区发展署宣布，中国的汽车制造商长春汽车公司将在诺丁汉科学园一号设立研发机构，这将创造最多200个就业机会。
