國際能源署(IEA)：減少全球油氣行業(yè)溫室氣體排放需6000億美元支出

據(jù)5月13日Trend網(wǎng)站報道，國際能源署(IEA)執(zhí)行主任法提赫·比羅爾（Fatih Birol）在其文章《Trend reports》中表示，到2030年，要將油氣行業(yè)溫室氣體排放量減少60%，需要前期投入約6000億美元。

 

他指出，“僅石油和天然氣業(yè)務(wù)的排放量就占全球總量的相當(dāng)大一部分。從地下開采石油和天然氣，對其進行加工并將其運送到消費者手中，幾乎占全球能源相關(guān)排放量的1%——這比美國產(chǎn)生的所有排放量還要多，是整個歐盟排放量的兩倍。最新報告顯示，從現(xiàn)在到2030年，石油和天然氣行業(yè)如何將這些排放量減少60%。這將需要大約6000億美元的前期支出，但這遠低于該行業(yè)去年因創(chuàng)紀錄的高能源價格而積累的數(shù)萬億美元。到目前為止，那些宣布計劃減少其業(yè)務(wù)排放的石油和天然氣公司，實際上只占世界產(chǎn)量的不到一半”。

 

比羅爾表示，許多承諾都是模糊的，或者缺乏明確的實現(xiàn)戰(zhàn)略，特別是在從現(xiàn)在到2030年的關(guān)鍵時期，需要更雄心勃勃的目標、具體的計劃和強有力的問責(zé)制，以實現(xiàn)石油和天然氣行業(yè)的顯著減排。

 

他強調(diào)，“該行業(yè)可以而且應(yīng)該將其中的一些利潤進行再投資，以幫助世界實現(xiàn)凈零排放，并實現(xiàn)將全球氣溫限制在1.5攝氏度以內(nèi)的目標。如今的石油和天然氣行業(yè)擁有技術(shù)、資源和專業(yè)知識，能夠以相對較低的成本大幅減少其運營過程中的排放”。

IEA's Birol talks spending needed to cut GHG emissions in global oil&gas industry

 

Upfront spending of around $600 billion is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the oil and gas industry by 60 percent until 2030, Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in his article, Trend reports.

 

"Emissions from oil and gas operations alone account for a considerable chunk of the global total. Taking oil and gas out of the ground, processing it and delivering it to consumers accounts for almost 1 percent of global energy-related emissions – that’s more than all the emissions produced by the United States or twice the emissions of the entire European Union. Our latest report shows how the oil and gas industry can reduce these emissions by 60 percent between now and 2030. This would require upfront spending of around $600 billion – much less than the trillions of dollars the industry accrued last year off the back of record high energy prices," he said.

 

According to the executive director, those oil and gas companies that have so far announced plans to reduce emissions from their operations, in fact, account for less than half of world production.

 

And many of the commitments made are vague or lack clear strategies to achieve them, especially for the crucial period between now and 2030, Birol said, noting that more ambitious targets, concrete plans and strong accountability are needed to achieve significant reductions in the oil and gas industry and beyond.

 

"The industry can and should reinvest some of those profits to help the world reach net zero emissions and keep the goal of limiting global temperatures to 1.5 °C within sight. The oil and gas industry today has the technologies, resources and expertise to cut emissions from its operations dramatically – and at relatively little cost," he added.
