據油價網報道，挪威政府6月11日表示，挪威將把賭注押在海上風能、氫氣和電氣化上，以實現其根據巴黎協定的承諾，但挪威石油和天然氣部門將繼續在長期創造就業、經濟增長前景和國家價值方面發揮主要作用。

　　挪威政府的白皮書“把精力投入工作”顯示，西歐最大的石油生產國挪威正準備面對能源轉型，但挪威相信它可以開發其石油資源，在其氣候政策內提供低排放的生產。

　　挪威石油和能源大臣Tina Bru在一份聲明中說：“保留石油和天然氣領域的專業知識和技術對碳捕獲和儲存、海上風能和氫氣等新產業和技術的發展也至關重要。”

　　她補充說:：“挪威政府石油政策的主要目標是促進油氣行業的長期盈利生產。”

　　據挪威政府稱，挪威國內油氣行業目前面臨著兩大挑戰：不斷成熟油田和不斷增長的低排放需求。

　　“未來幾年，石油行業仍將是挪威經濟的一個重要因素，盡管規模不及今天。挪威政府將在我們的氣候政策和我們對巴黎協定承諾的框架內促進石油行業的長期經濟增長。”

　　國際能源署（IEA）5月在一份報告中表示，如果世界各國想要在2050年實現凈零排放，就不需要在化石燃料領域進行新的投資，挪威已成為又一個表示不會停止在石油和天然氣領域投資的產油國。

　　挪威石油和天然氣協會(Norwegian Oil and Gas Association)也對IEA的報告發表了評論，稱它“不認同這樣一種假設：即從2050年的前景看，僅歐佩克成員國就應占全球市場石油和天然氣產量的一半以上。”“如果需求沒有像國際能源署設想的那樣迅速下降，而供應方面同時被切斷，全球能源供應可能受到威脅，并導致非常高的能源價格。”

　　Norway Isn’t Giving Up On New Oil Development

　　Norway is betting on offshore wind, hydrogen, and electrification to meet its commitment under the Paris Agreement, but its oil and gas sector will continue to play a major role in long-term job creation, economic growth prospects, and value for the country, the government said on Friday.

　　Norway, Western Europe’s largest oil producer, is preparing to face the energy transition, yet it believes that it can develop its petroleum resources to deliver low-emission production within its climate policy, the government’s White Paper ‘Putting Energy to Work’ showed.

　　“Retaining expertise and technologies in the oil and gas sector is also vital for the development of new industries and technologies such as carbon capture and storage, offshore wind and hydrogen,” Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Tina Bru, said in a statement.

　　“The main goal of the government’s petroleum policy - to facilitate profitable production in the oil and gas industry in a long term perspective - is firmly in place,” she added.

　　According to the Norwegian government, the domestic oil and gas industry currently faces two major challenges—maturing oilfields and increasing demands for lower emissions.

　　“The petroleum sector will remain a significant factor in the Norwegian economy in the years to come, although not on the same scale as today. The government will facilitate long-term economic growth in the petroleum industry within the framework of our climate policy and our commitments under the Paris Agreement,” the government said.

　　Norway has become yet another oil-producing country that has said it would not stop investing in oil and gas since the International Energy Agency suggested in a report last month that the world wouldn’t need new investment in fossil fuels ever if it wants to achieve net-zero in 2050.

　　The Norwegian Oil and Gas Association has also commented on the IEA report, saying that it “does not share the assumption that Opec members alone should account for more than half of oil and gas production for the world market in a 2050 perspective. If demand does not decline as rapidly as the IEA assumes in its scenario, and the supply side is simultaneously choked off, global energy provision could be threatened and lead to very high energy prices.”
