据世界天然气11月25日消息：未来六年，能源巨头埃克森美孚将注入超过150亿美元的资金，以帮助降低其运营范围内的温室气体(GHG)排放。

该公司表示，作为投资的一部分，除了美国的甲烷减排行动外，它还正在制定“积极的”减排计划，以支持《巴黎协定》、美国和欧盟的全球甲烷承诺的目标。

实现埃克森美孚目标的关键技术之一是碳捕获和储存(CCS)，国际能源署(IEA)将其视为到2050年实现净零的重要组成部分。

最近几个月，该公司宣布了几个CCS中心概念，并计划大幅扩大其业务，到2040年，仅在德克萨斯州休斯顿难以减排的地区就可能捕获约1亿吨二氧化碳。

埃克森美孚还宣布了在苏格兰、法国、比利时、荷兰的CCS项目，以及与马来西亚国家石油公司的联合项目。

该公司还认识到生物燃料和氢将在能源转型中发挥的作用，这反映在其每年130万吨的氢产量上。

埃克森美孚与加拿大帝国石油公司合作，打算生产可再生生物燃料柴油，其碳排放量比传统柴油少70%。

ExxonMobil to invest $15bn in low carbon solutions

Over the next six years, energy giant ExxonMobil (Exxon) will inject more than $15bn in schemes to help lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its range of operations.

The company stated that as part of the investment, it is working on ‘aggressive’ reduction plans consistent with its support for the goals of the Paris Agreement, the US, and the EU’s Global Methane Pledge, in addition to the US Methane Emissions Reduction Action Plan.

One of the key technologies involved in meeting Exxon’s targets is carbon capture and storage (CCS), regarding by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as an essential part of reaching net zero by 2050.

Having announced several CCS hub concepts in recent months, the company has plans to expand its operations significantly, potentially capturing about 100m metric tonnes of CO2 from hard-to-abate areas in Houston, Texas alone by 2040.

Exxon has also announced CCS projects in Scotland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, as well as joint projects with Petronas in Malaysia.

The company also recognises the role that biofuels and hydrogen will play in the energy transition, reflected in its annual production of 1.3m metric tonnes of hydrogen.

In a partnership with Canadian company Imperial Oil, Exxon intend to produce renewable biofuel-based diesel which generates 70% fewer carbon emissions than conventional diesel.
