吉宝财团开发新加坡首个碳捕集系统

据世界天然气网7月2日消息 吉宝数据中心、雪佛龙、泛美集团和盛裕在新加坡国家研究基金会的支持下，签署了一份谅解备忘录（MOU），共同开发新加坡首个点对点脱碳工艺和碳捕集系统。

吉宝公司周四表示，此次合作旨在加快发展节能型碳捕获、利用和封存（CCUS）系统，从而为新加坡带来低碳经济和潜在的商业发展。

碳排放量占新加坡温室气体排放总量的97%。根据《巴黎协定》，新加坡承诺到2030年将其排放强度从2005年的水平降低36%。

此外，新加坡政府还宣布了其长期战略，即在2030年峰值的基础上将排放量减半，并在本世纪后半叶尽快实现净零排放。

为此，合作伙伴将开发CCUS技术，并将其应用于新加坡的关键行业，如能源、化工和建筑。

根据谅解备忘录，这四家公司将共同探索、确定和开发成熟的碳捕获技术，并结合使用冷冻剂、薄膜和氢气的新技术。

在商业上可行的情况下，预计CCUS技术将有助于降低整个行业的碳排放强度，并帮助新加坡在2050年之前将二氧化碳排放量从峰值减少一半，至3300万吨。

Companies team up to develop Singapore’s first carbon capture system

Keppel Data Centres, Chevron, Pan-United, and Surbana Jurong, with the support of Singapore’s National Research Foundation, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly develop the first end-to-end decarbonisation process and carbon capture system in Singapore.

Keppel said on Thursday that this collaboration was aimed at accelerating the development of energy-efficient carbon capture, utilisation, and sequestration (CCUS) system that can lead to a low-carbon economy and potential commercial developments for Singapore.

Carbon emissions make up 97 per cent of Singapore’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Paris Agreement, Singapore has pledged to reduce its emissions intensity by 36 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030.

Also, the Singapore Government announced its long-term strategy to halve emissions from its 2030 peak and achieve net-zero emissions as soon as viable in the second half of the century.

To this end, the partnership will develop CCUS technologies which will be implemented in Singapore’s key industries such as energy, chemicals, and construction.

Under the MOU, the four companies will jointly explore, identify, and develop mature carbon capture technologies, coupled with novel technologies that utilise cryogens, membranes, and hydrogen.

When commercially viable, the CCUS technologies are expected to help reduce carbon intensity across the industry sectors and help Singapore halve emissions from its peak to 33 million tonnes of CO2 emissions (MtCO2e) by 2050.
