殼牌關(guān)注東南亞潛在的碳捕獲和儲存中心

據(jù)離岸工程網(wǎng)10月27日報(bào)道，石油和天然氣巨頭殼牌（Shell）已與文萊和新加坡簽署協(xié)議，研究碳運(yùn)輸和儲存方案，這可能會成為東南亞潛在碳捕獲和儲存（CCS）中心的一部分。

 

殼牌公司的目標(biāo)是到2035年達(dá)到每年至少2500萬噸的CCS產(chǎn)能，到2050年成為凈零排放能源企業(yè)。周三，殼牌東方石油公司（Shell Eastern Petroleum）與文萊殼牌石油公司（BSP）簽署了諒解備忘錄，探討文萊和新加坡碳運(yùn)輸和儲存方案的可行性。文萊政府和殼牌集團(tuán)各自持有BSP 50%的股份。

 

BSP總經(jīng)理Agnete Johnsgaard Lewis評論道：“我們處于有利的地位，可以利用我們在文萊和新加坡的現(xiàn)有關(guān)系和業(yè)績紀(jì)錄，在東南亞發(fā)展?jié)撛诘腃CS中心。”

 

如協(xié)議所述，雙方將評估文萊碳儲存方案和新加坡碳運(yùn)輸方案的技術(shù)和商業(yè)可行性。這將促進(jìn)兩國在制定相關(guān)政策方面的合作，同時(shí)補(bǔ)充兩國政府為深化能源和綠色經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域的合作所做的努力，例如通過今年8月簽署的一項(xiàng)協(xié)議，在CCS領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行合作。

 

殼牌公司新加坡分公司董事長吳嘉鵬評論道：“CCS將有助于減少我們自身運(yùn)營中的二氧化碳排放，因?yàn)槲覀儗⒃谶@里的制造業(yè)足跡轉(zhuǎn)化為新加坡殼牌能源和化工園區(qū)。它還為減少難以脫碳的行業(yè)（如裕廊島的行業(yè)）的排放提供了一種方法。這將有助于新加坡在向低碳經(jīng)濟(jì)轉(zhuǎn)型的過程中減少其碳足跡。”

 

作為二氧化碳捕獲技術(shù)的供應(yīng)商，殼牌強(qiáng)調(diào)，CCS涉及成熟的技術(shù)要素——二氧化碳捕獲、壓縮和運(yùn)輸以及儲存——的整合，并補(bǔ)充說，其航運(yùn)業(yè)務(wù)在開發(fā)和建造“世界上第一艘專門設(shè)計(jì)用于運(yùn)載來自CCS的液態(tài)二氧化碳的船舶”中發(fā)揮了“積極作用”。

 

此外，這家能源巨頭“在幫助開發(fā)大型商業(yè)項(xiàng)目方面有著良好的紀(jì)錄”，這些項(xiàng)目涉及整個(gè)碳捕獲和存儲價(jià)值鏈。這包括在加拿大艾伯塔省建造和運(yùn)營Quest，自2015年以來，該地區(qū)的二氧化碳儲存量超過700萬噸，“低于預(yù)算，并在時(shí)間上提前”。

 

殼牌還與挪威的Equinor和道達(dá)爾能源合作，開展北極光項(xiàng)目，通過船舶將工業(yè)來源的二氧化碳運(yùn)輸至中央接收中心，然后通過管道將二氧化碳輸送至海上儲存庫。

 

談到殼牌的其他業(yè)務(wù)，值得一提的是，這家石油巨頭最近公布了2022年第三季度的業(yè)績，由于天然氣價(jià)格上漲和深水資產(chǎn)產(chǎn)量增加，該公司的利潤同比增長。

Shell eyes potential carbon capture and storage hub in Southeast Asia

 

Oil and gas major Shell has inked a deal to look into carbon transport and storage options in Brunei and Singapore, which could form part of a potential carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub in Southeast Asia.

 

Shell, whose ambition is to have access to at least 25 million tonnes a year of CCS capacity by 2035 and become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, disclosed on Wednesday that Shell Eastern Petroleum has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) to explore the feasibility of carbon transport and storage options for Brunei Darussalam and Singapore. The government of Brunei Darussalam and Shell group each own a 50 per cent stake in BSP.

 

Agnete Johnsgaard-Lewis, the Managing Director of BSP, commented: “We are in a good position to leverage our existing relationships and track records in Brunei and Singapore to enable the development of a potential CCS hub in Southeast Asia.”

 

As outlined in this deal, both players will evaluate the technical and commercial feasibility of carbon storage options in Brunei Darussalam and carbon transport solutions from Singapore. This will enable cooperation between the two countries in developing relevant policies while complementing efforts undertaken by the countries’ governments to deepen cooperation in the areas of energy and green economy, such as CCS through a deal signed in August this year.

 

Aw Kah Peng, the Chairman of Shell Companies in Singapore, remarked: “CCS will help reduce CO2 emissions from our own operations, as we transform our manufacturing footprint here into Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Singapore. It also offers a way to reduce emissions from hard-to-decarbonise industries, such as those found on Jurong Island. This will help Singapore cut its carbon footprint as we transition to a lower carbon economy.”

 

Shell, which is a provider of CO2 capture technologies, highlighted that CCS involves the integration of proven technical elements – CO2 capture, compression and transport, and storage – adding that its shipping business has played “an active role” in the development and construction of “the world’s first vessels specifically designed to carry liquid CO2 derived from CCS.”

 

In addition, the energy giant has “a proven track record of helping to develop large-scale commercial projects” that involve the full carbon capture and storage value chain. This includes building and operating Quest in Alberta, Canada with more than 7 million tonnes of CO2 stored there since 2015 “under budget and ahead of schedule.”

 

Shell also partnered with Equinor and TotalEnergies in Norway on the Northern Lights project to transport CO2 from industrial sources by ship to a central receiving hub and then send the CO2 through a pipeline to an offshore store.

 

When it comes to Shell’s other activities, it is worth noting the oil major recently revealed its 3Q 2022 results, which show higher profits on a year-on-year basis thanks to higher gas prices and increased volumes from deepwater assets.
