英国大陆架活动有助于实现英国60%的脱碳目标

据能源之声网站8月5日报道 一份新报告称，英国大陆架（UKCS）在帮助各政府在未来几十年实现净零排放目标方面发挥着重要作用。

石油和天然气管理局（OGA）表示，将石油和天然气生产与可再生能源、碳捕获与储存（CCS）和氢能结合起来，可以占到2050年所需减排量的30%。

该监管机构还表示，海上风、浪和潮汐项目可能为英国净零排放目标再贡献30%。

这意味着，在陆上基础设施投资的支持下，UKCS的活动可能有助于实现五分之三的国家脱碳需求。

英国和苏格兰政府建立了一个具有法律约束力的目标，分别在2050年和2045年前将排放量削减到零排放。

在其报告中，OGA概述了推动英国大陆架脱碳的下一步措施，从加快开创性项目的进展到改善数据可用性、质量和访问。

OGA首席执行官安迪?塞缪尔表示，这份报告表明，英国大陆架是一种“关键的能源资源”。

他说：“一体化有可能产生深刻而有意义的影响，对该国总体净零目标的贡献可能达到30%，主要是通过碳捕获与储存以及氢能。”

UKCS activities can deliver 60% of country’s decarbonisation targets

The UK continental shelf (UKCS) has a “significant role” to play in helping governments achieve their net zero targets in the coming decades, a new report said.

Integrating oil and gas production with renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen could account for 30% of the emissions reductions needed by 2050, the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) said.

The regulator also said offshore wind, wave and tidal projects could contribute a further 30% towards the UK’s net zero target.

It means UKCS activities, supported by investments in onshore infrastructure, could help deliver three-fifths of national decarbonisation requirements.

The UK and Scottish governments have a legally binding targets to cut emissions to net zero by 2050 and 2045, respectively.

In its report, the OGA outlined its next steps for driving decarbonisation on the UKCS, ranging from accelerating progress on “pioneering projects” to improving “data availability, quality and access”

OGA chief executive Andy Samuel said the report demonstrated that the UKCS is a “critical energy resource”.

He said: “Integration has the potential to make a deep and meaningful impact, with a possible 30% contribution towards the country’s overall net zero target, primarily through CCS, and through CCS plus hydrogen.
