Instead, it's a yellow powder.

相反，它是一種黃色粉末。

The powder, known as COF 999, has the potential to capture carbon dioxide faster and more efficiently than a tree.

這種被稱為 COF 999 的粉末有可能比樹木更快、更有效地捕獲二氧化碳。

Just half a pound of this powder can do the work of a large tree over the course of a year.

只要半磅這種粉末，就能在一年內完成一棵大樹的工作量。

Not only does it trap CO2 in its tiny pores, but it does so 10 times faster than anything seen before.

它不僅能在微小的孔隙中捕獲二氧化碳，而且捕獲二氧化碳的速度比以往任何產品都要快 10 倍。

The powder, a combination of two hydrophobic molecular structures can be reused hundreds, possibly even thousands of times without breaking down.

這種粉末由兩種疏水分子結構組合而成，可重複使用數百甚至數千次而不會分解。

The challenge now lies in scaling this technology up to meet global needs.

現在的挑戰在於如何推廣這項技術，以滿足全球需求。

Currently producing the material on a massive scale has the potential to expel more carbon than it can capture.

目前，大規模生產這種材料所排出的碳有可能超過它所能捕獲的碳。
