雷普索尔将斥资9000万投资两低排放项目

据能源世界网6月15日马德里报道，西班牙石油和天然气公司雷普索尔计划投资8000万欧元(9000万美元)在毕尔巴鄂地区新建两座工厂，以减少其碳排放。

雷普索尔将建造据称将是世界上最大的净零排放燃料设施之一，其基础是可再生能源产生的绿色氢和西班牙北部Petronor炼油厂捕获的二氧化碳。雷普索尔拥有该炼油厂的多数股权。

该公司首席执行官Josu Jon Imaz在周一的新闻发布会上表示，第二座工厂将从城市垃圾中产生气体，取代Petronor炼油厂使用的部分传统燃料。

Imaz表示，通过这个项目，雷普索尔成为减少碳排放的重要参与者。

雷普索尔已经设定了一个目标，到2050年将其碳排放减少到零，从而为避免全球变暖做出贡献。

旨在实现“净零”的公司通常会通过投资于能够储存碳的技术，或在森林等自然吸收实现碳排放平衡。

雷普索尔表示，使用已经开发或接近成熟的技术，可以达到其目标的至少70%，然后将实施碳捕获、使用和存储来提高这一数字，并在必要时转向自然吸收。

雷普索尔表示，周一宣布的第一个项目是利用氢气和二氧化碳生产燃料，这将是实验性的，每天可生产50桶合成燃料。 该项目将“根据所获得的结果在以后的阶段进行扩大”。

第二个项目将能够每年处理1万吨城市垃圾，处理能力可以提高到每年10万吨，即该地区产生的所有城市垃圾。

Repsol to invest $90 million in two low-emissions projects in Spain

Spanish oil and gas company Repsol plans to invest 80 million euros ($90 million) to build two new plants in the Bilbao area as part of efforts reduce its carbon emissions.

Repsol will build what it said would be one of the world's biggest net-zero emissions fuel facilities, based on green hydrogen generated with renewable energy and carbon dioxide captured at the Petronor refinery in northern Spain, in which it owns a majority stake.

The second plant will generate gas from urban waste, replacing some of the traditional fuels used by the Petronor refinery, Chief Executive Josu Jon Imaz told a news conference on Monday.

"With this project, Repsol becomes a relevant player in reducing carbon emissions," Imaz said.

Repsol had set a target to reduce its carbon emissions to a net zero by 2050 to contribute to the general struggle to avert global warming.

Companies aiming to achieve "net-zero" usually balance emissions from their operations by investing in technology that can store carbon, or in natural sinks such as forests.

Repsol said it could reach at least 70 per cent of its goal using technology that was already developed or nearly mature, and then would implement carbon capture, use and storage to raise that figure, and turn to natural sinks if necessary.

The first project, fuel production from hydrogen and CO2, announced on Monday will be experimental and produce 50 barrels of synthetic fuel a day, Repsol said. The project will be "scalable in a later stage depending on the results obtained."

The second project will be able to process 10,000 tons of urban waste a year and capacity could be increased to 100,000 tons a year, or all the urban waste produced in the area.
