Down a short gravel track in a largely nondescript corner of Louisiana sits a gas processing facility, operated by a company whose chief executive is a major donor to Donald Trump.(在路易斯安那州一个毫不起眼的角落，沿着一条短短的碎石路走下去，坐落着一座天然气处理设施，其运营公司的首席执行官是特朗普的重要金主。) It may be the largest emitter of methane in the US.
在路易斯安那州一个毫不起眼的角落，沿着一条短短的碎石路走下去，坐落着一座天然气处理设施。运营这家公司的首席执行官，是唐纳德·特朗普的重要金主。它可能是美国最大的甲烷排放源。
The Energy Transfer site, located near the city of Shreveport, is named as the biggest single “super-emitter” in new rankings of US oil and gas operations for the largest releases of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is rapidly overheating our planet, according to a new UCLA study, which is based on satellite data.(根据加州大学洛杉矶分校一项基于卫星数据的新研究，位于什里夫波特市附近的能源传输公司设施，在美国油气作业甲烷排放最新排名中被列为最大的单一“超级排放者”。)
根据加州大学洛杉矶分校一项基于卫星数据的新研究，位于什里夫波特市附近的能源传输公司设施，在美国油气作业甲烷排放最新排名中被列为最大的单一“超级排放者”，其甲烷释放量居首。甲烷是一种强效温室气体，正在迅速让地球升温。
From January 2025 to June this year, the Shreveport facility spewed out methane at an average emission rate of 1.56 tonnes an hour, which is 15 times larger than the threshold defined in a Biden-era program by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a super-emitter event, according to the study.(根据这项研究，从2025年1月到今年6月，什里夫波特设施平均每小时排放1.56吨甲烷，是美国环保署在拜登时期项目中定义的“超级排放事件”门槛的15倍。) The Trump administration has put implementation of that program on hold but climate experts and advocates say reducing methane emissions is vital to limit the climate crisis.
根据这项研究，从2025年1月到今年6月，什里夫波特设施平均每小时排放1.56吨甲烷，是美国环保署在拜登时期项目中定义的“超级排放事件”门槛的15倍。特朗普政府已暂停该项目的实施，但气候专家和倡导者表示，减少甲烷排放对遏制气候危机至关重要。
