據(jù)安迅思能源10月17日消息稱(chēng)，bp宣布同意收購(gòu)美國(guó)領(lǐng)先的可再生天然氣(RNG)生產(chǎn)商古生能源公司，此舉將擴(kuò)大和加速其戰(zhàn)略生物能源業(yè)務(wù)的增長(zhǎng)。

此次協(xié)議收購(gòu)將以33億美元的現(xiàn)金以及約800萬(wàn)美元的凈債務(wù)進(jìn)行，并有待監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)和古生能源公司股東的批準(zhǔn)。

生物能源是bp計(jì)劃在本十年快速增長(zhǎng)的五大戰(zhàn)略轉(zhuǎn)型增長(zhǎng)引擎之一。bp預(yù)計(jì)，到2025年，對(duì)轉(zhuǎn)型增長(zhǎng)業(yè)務(wù)的投資將達(dá)到其年度總資本支出的40%以上，并計(jì)劃到2030年將這一比例提高到50%左右。

收購(gòu)古生能源將擴(kuò)大bp在美國(guó)沼氣行業(yè)的影響力，增強(qiáng)其支持客戶(hù)脫碳目標(biāo)的能力，并推進(jìn)其降低其所銷(xiāo)售能源產(chǎn)品平均碳強(qiáng)度的目標(biāo)。bp的目標(biāo)是到2050年或更早將碳強(qiáng)度降至凈零。

bp accelerates and expands in bioenergy, agreeing to buy Archaea Energy

In a move that will expand and accelerate the growth of its strategic bioenergy business, bp announced that it has agreed to acquire Archaea Energy Inc., a leading producer of renewable natural gas (RNG) in the US, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.

The agreed acquisition, which is subject to regulatory and Archaea shareholder approval, will be for USD3.3 B in cash, as well as around USD800 MM of net debt.

Bioenergy is one of five strategic transition growth engines that bp intends to grow rapidly through this decade. bp expects investment into its transition growth businesses to reach more than 40% of its total annual capital expenditure by 2025, aiming to grow this to around 50% by 2030.

Acquiring Archaea will expand bp’s presence in the US biogas industry, enhancing its ability to support customers’ decarbonization goals and also progressing its aim to reduce the average carbon intensity of the energy products it sells. bp aims to reduce that carbon intensity to net zero by 2050 or sooner.
