据11月11日offshore energy消息：美国石油巨头雪佛龙的澳大利亚子公司，即Gorgon LNG项目的运营商，将向西澳大利亚低碳项目投资2900万美元(4000万澳元)。

这是雪佛龙在截至2021年7月的五年期间解决Gorgon LNG二氧化碳注入不足问题的一部分。该方案还将使雪佛龙履行其监管义务，收购并放弃523万温室气体补偿。

具体来说，Gorgon项目是雪佛龙澳大利亚子公司、埃克森美孚、壳牌、大阪燃气、东京燃气、JERA的合资企业。

该公司董事马克·哈特菲尔德表示，他们为Gorgon CCS的显着减排感到自豪。

自2019年8月启动以来，Gorgon碳捕集和存储系统已经注入了550万吨温室气体排放。通过这种方式，它展示了CCS技术在推进低碳未来方面的重要性。

该公司将与西澳大利亚州政府进一步讨论开发低碳项目。

Chevron invests in Australian lower-carbon projects

The Australian unit of US oil major Chevron, the operator of the Gorgon LNG project, will invest $29 million (AUD$40 million) investment in Western Australian lower-carbon projects.

This is a part of Chevron’s answer to a carbon dioxide injection shortfall at the Gorgon LNG over the five-year period ending July 2021. The package will also see Chevron fulfill its regulatory obligations by acquiring and surrendering 5.23 million of ghg offsets.

Specifically, the Gorgon project is a joint venture between the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Shell; Osaka Gas, Tokyo Gas, and JERA.

The company’s director Mark Hatfield said they are proud of the Gorgon CCS’ significant emissions reductions.

Since starting up in August 2019, the Gorgon carbon capture and storage system has injected app. 5.5 million tonnes of GHG emissions. This way, it is demonstrating the importance of CCS technology in advancing a lower carbon future.

The company will go into further discussions with the Western Australian government to develop lower-carbon projects.
