據(jù)油價網(wǎng)2023年7月31日報道，阿聯(lián)酋阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC)周一表示，ADNOC將把其實(shí)現(xiàn)凈零排放目標(biāo)的時間從之前的2050年提前到2045年，成為同行中第一家承諾在2045年實(shí)現(xiàn)凈零排放的石油公司。ADNOC生產(chǎn)阿聯(lián)酋幾乎所有石油。

ADNOC還承諾到2030年前實(shí)現(xiàn)甲烷零排放。

新凈零排放目標(biāo)出臺之際，阿聯(lián)酋正準(zhǔn)備在今年晚些時候主辦COP28氣候峰會。COP28峰會的候任主席是ADNOC集團(tuán)首席執(zhí)行官蘇丹·艾哈邁德·賈貝爾。

同樣在7月31日，ADNOC報告了其去年的排放強(qiáng)度，稱其去年的上游碳強(qiáng)度約為每桶油當(dāng)量7公斤二氧化碳當(dāng)量，是世界上上游碳排放強(qiáng)度最低的公司之一。阿聯(lián)酋石油巨頭ADNOC表示，該公司的甲烷排放強(qiáng)度約為0.07%。

ADNOC正在加快計劃，將其石油生產(chǎn)能力從目前的每天400萬桶提高到500萬桶，但它也在尋求通過使用可再生能源和核能發(fā)電的電網(wǎng)能源來為陸上作業(yè)提供電力，從而使部分業(yè)務(wù)脫碳。

7月初，ADNOC的賈貝爾表示，石油和天然氣行業(yè)需要“加緊行動”，減少排放，加速向更清潔能源解決方案的轉(zhuǎn)變。

賈貝爾7月初在維也納舉行的歐佩克國際研討會上說：“化石燃料的逐步減少是不可避免的。確切地說，這是必不可少的。但它不能是不負(fù)責(zé)任的?！?/p>

賈貝爾說，關(guān)鍵的挑戰(zhàn)是在保持強(qiáng)勁可持續(xù)發(fā)展的同時減少排放，并補(bǔ)充說：“這就是為什么我如此關(guān)注第28屆聯(lián)合國氣候變化大會真正具有包容性的原因。”

UAE’s ADNOC Brings Net Zero Target Forward To 2045

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is bringing forward its target for net-zero emissions to 2045, from a previous target of 2050, becoming the first oil company in its peer group to commit to net zero in 2045, the producer of nearly all the oil in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said on Monday.

ADNOC also pledged to achieve zero methane emissions by 2030.

The new targets come as the UAE is preparing to host the COP28 climate summit later this year. The president-designate of the COP28 summit is ADNOC’s group CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber.  

Also on Monday, ADNOC reported emissions intensity for 2022, saying that its upstream carbon intensity last year was around 7 kg of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per barrel of equivalent, one of the world’s lowest. ADNOC’s methane intensity was around 0.07%, the Abu Dhabi oil giant said.

ADNOC is accelerating plans to raise its oil production capacity to 5 million barrels per day (bpd) from 4 million bpd now, but it is also looking to decarbonize part of its operations with the use of grid energy from renewables and nuclear generation to power onshore operations.

Early this month, ADNOC’s Al Jaber said that the oil and gas industry needs to “step up its game” to cut emissions and accelerate the shift toward cleaner energy solutions.

“The phase down of fossil fuels is inevitable. It is in fact essential. But it cannot be irresponsible,” Al Jaber, who is also the COP 28 president-designate, said at the OPEC International Seminar in Vienna in early July.

The key challenge is to cut emissions while keeping robust sustainable development, Al Jaber said, adding “That is why I am so focused on COP28 being truly inclusive.”

The pick of Al Jaber to head the COP28 climate summit in Dubai was seen as a controversial choice, considering that he is chief executive at the company pumping nearly all the oil in the UAE, an OPEC member and major crude oil exporter.
