雪佛龍和塔洛斯欲將擬議中得克薩斯碳捕獲項(xiàng)目規(guī)模擴(kuò)大兩倍

中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)3月6日?qǐng)?bào)道，雪佛龍（Chevron Corp）和塔洛斯能源公司（Talos Energy Inc）周一表示，他們已將擬議的墨西哥灣碳捕集和儲(chǔ)存中心的規(guī)模擴(kuò)大兩倍。

 

他們的合資企業(yè)包括Carbonvert Inc，計(jì)劃收集和掩埋得克薩斯地區(qū)石化、水泥、鋼鐵和其他工業(yè)企業(yè)客戶的溫室氣體。收購(gòu)的成本未披露。

 

所謂的Bayou Bend中心是雪佛龍?jiān)谌蛱疾东@、利用和封存(CCUS)方面的最大投入之一，到2050年，這個(gè)市場(chǎng)可能會(huì)達(dá)到數(shù)萬(wàn)億美元。

 

雪佛龍CCUS副總裁Chris Powers在咨詢機(jī)構(gòu)標(biāo)普舉辦的CERAWeek能源會(huì)議上對(duì)記者表示，“市場(chǎng)是巨大的。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)《巴黎協(xié)定》的宏偉目標(biāo)，我們將大規(guī)模開展CCUS，擁有多個(gè)這樣的中心”。

 

第一次注入預(yù)計(jì)在2026年左右。塔洛斯首席可持續(xù)發(fā)展官羅賓·菲爾德(Robin Fielder)表示，時(shí)間將取決于監(jiān)管程序和客戶需求。

 

高管們表示，該集團(tuán)將開始尋找長(zhǎng)期客戶，包括那些希望使用與制氫相關(guān)的CCUS的客戶。

 

該合資企業(yè)在現(xiàn)有的4萬(wàn)英畝土地上增加了近10萬(wàn)英畝(405平方公里)的陸上土地。擴(kuò)大后的區(qū)域可以儲(chǔ)存超過(guò)10億噸的溫室氣體。

 

他們表示，該協(xié)議將他們的Bayou Bend樞紐定位為該地區(qū)難以減少的工業(yè)排放的碳存儲(chǔ)地點(diǎn)，該地區(qū)是美國(guó)最大的工業(yè)走廊之一。

 

到2028年，雪佛龍將在包括CCUS和氫燃料在內(nèi)的低碳企業(yè)投資100億美元。該公司負(fù)責(zé)氫業(yè)務(wù)的副總裁奧斯汀·奈特(Austin Knight)在會(huì)議上表示，該公司正在投資開發(fā)氫運(yùn)輸技術(shù)，包括通過(guò)氨運(yùn)輸。

 

他稱，雖然制氫技術(shù)已經(jīng)存在，但用于大規(guī)模運(yùn)輸而言，該技術(shù)仍處于早期階段。

Chevron, Talos to triple the size of Texas carbon capture project

 

Oil producers Chevron Corp and Talos Energy Inc on Monday said they have tripled the size of a proposed carbon capture and storage hub for the Gulf Coast.

 

Their joint venture, which includes Carbonvert Inc, plans to collect and bury greenhouse gases from clients in the petrochemical, cement, steel and other industrial businesses along the Texas coast. The cost of the acquisition was not disclosed.

 

The so-called Bayou Bend hub is one of Chevron's top global bets for carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS), a potentially multi-trillion dollar market by 2050.

 

"The market is huge," Chevron's vice president for CCUS, Chris Powers, told reporters at the CERAWeek energy conference by S&P. "In order to meet the ambitions of the Paris Agreement, we are going to do CCUS at massive scale, with multiple hubs like this."

 

The first injection is expected for around 2026. Timing will depend on the regulatory process and clients needs, said Robin Fielder, chief sustainability officer for Talos.

 

The group will start to seek long-term customers, including those looking to use CCUS associated with hydrogen production, the executives said.

 

The venture added nearly 100,000 onshore acres (405 square kilometers) to its existing 40,000 acre site. The expanded area could store more than 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases.

 

The trio said the deal positions their Bayou Bend hub as a storage site for carbon emitted by hard to abate industries in the region, one of the largest industrial corridors in the United States.

 

Chevron is investing $10 billion through 2028 in its Low Carbon ventures including CCUS and hydrogen fuel. The company is investing in technologies to allow hydrogen transportation, including through ammonia, the company's vice president of hydrogen Austin Knight said during the conference.

 

While technology for hydrogen production already exists, for transportation in a large scale the technology is still in the early stages, he said.
