英国海上油气行业将在未来十年内减少碳排放

据钻机地带6月16日消息称，英国石油和天然气协会(OGUK)周二透露，英国海上石油和天然气行业承诺在未来十年将碳排放减半。

OGUK发布的一份新报告概述了如何通过改变运营方式、逐步减少燃除和排碳，以及实施旨在使用电力而非天然气为海上设施提供电力的重大资本投资计划来实现上述目标。

OGUK表示，这些目标是一项“转型”行业交易的关键部分，该行业目前正与英国政府进行正式讨论。OGUK指出，该协议以就业、供应链和能源社区为核心，并将考虑英国石油和天然气行业如何支持绿色复苏。

英国政府能源部长Kwasi Kwarteng表示：“海上石油和天然气行业承诺在未来十年内将运营排放量减半，这对于在未来几年在我们的能源转型中发挥至关重要作用的行业来说，是一个可喜的一步。” 。

他补充说：“英国政府将继续不懈地与所有合作伙伴合作，达成一项充满活力的行业协议。随着我们努力到2050年实现净零排放，这将进一步支持该行业变得更加可持续。”

Offshore UK Oil to Halve Emissions in Next Decade

The UK’s offshore oil and gas industry committed to halving operational emissions in the next decade on Tuesday, industry body Oil & Gas UK (OGUK) revealed.

A new report published by OGUK outlines how targets will be achieved through changes to operations, progressive reductions in flaring and venting and major capital investment programs aimed at using electricity, rather than gas, to power offshore facilities.

The targets are a key part of a “transformational” sector deal that industry is now formally discussing with the UK government, according to OGUK. This deal has jobs, the supply chain and energy communities at its core and will consider how the UK’s oil and gas industry can support a green recovery, OGUK outlined.

The UK government minister for energy Kwasi Kwarteng said, “the offshore oil and gas sector’s commitment to halving operational emissions over the next decade is a welcome step for an industry that has a vital role to play in our energy transition in the years to come”.

“The UK government will continue to work tirelessly with all partners to deliver a dynamic sector deal. This will further support the industry in becoming more sustainable as we work towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050,” he added.
