据烃加工新闻10月8日消息称，日本最大的炼油商新日石计划以约合18亿美元从高盛和新加坡主权财富基金GIC手中收购日本可再生能源公司。

该交易将标志着日本顶级石油公司对可再生能源公司的首次重大收购，日经新闻称，新日石正寻求摆脱化石燃料。

日本可再生能源公司成立于2012年，致力于开发和建设可再生能源资产，拥有419兆瓦的太阳能、陆上风能和生物质发电能力，另有410兆瓦正在建设中。

新日石发言人表示，该公司正在考虑扩大其可再生能源业务的各种选择，但尚未做出任何决定。高盛发言人拒绝置评。

与包括荷兰皇家壳牌在内的海外同行一样，日本的石油公司也在转向新的领域，尤其是在日本政府与其他国家一道加大了削减大气供暖排放的承诺之后。

Eneos to buy Japan Renewable Energy for $1.8 billion

Eneos Holdings Inc, Japan's biggest refiner, plans to buy Japan Renewable Energy for about 200 billion yen ($1.8 billion) from Goldman Sachs and Singaporean sovereign wealth fund GIC.

The deal would mark the first major purchase of a renewables company by a top Japanese oil company, the Nikkei said, as Eneos looks to shift away from fossil fuels.

Founded in 2012, Japan Renewable Energy develops and builds renewable energy assets and has 419 megawatts of solar, onshore wind and biomass capacity in operation, with a further 410 MW under construction.

An Eneos spokesperson said the company was considering various options to expand its renewable energy business but that nothing had been decided. A Goldman Sachs spokesperson declined to comment.

Like overseas counterparts including Royal Dutch Shell Japan's oil companies are shifting into new areas, especially after Tokyo stepped-up commitments on cutting atmosphere heating emissions along with other countries.
