BP与微软达成数字化合作以实现净零目标

据油气工程9月15日消息称，英国石油公司和微软公司同意作为战略合作伙伴，进一步推进能源系统的数字化转型，实现两家公司的净零碳目标。

BP负责区域、城市和解决方案的执行副总裁William Lin表示：“BP决心实现净零排放并帮助世界做到这一点。没有人能单枪匹马做到这一点——与像微软这样有共同抱负的领先公司合作，将是实现这一点的关键。通过将我们互补的技能和经验结合在一起，我们不仅彼此帮助实现的脱碳目标，而且还为其他人减少碳排放创造了机会。”

微软全球商业业务执行副总裁Judson Althoff表示：“BP与我们分享了对未来零碳的愿景，我们承诺共同努力减少碳排放，并满足新可再生能源的需求。这样的战略合作伙伴关系使每个组织都可以利用其独特的专业知识来进行行业领先的变革，并有可能对全球数十亿人的生活产生积极影响。”

今年早些时候，BP宣布希望到2050年或更早成为净零排放公司，并帮助世界达到净零排放。到本十年末，它的目标是发展约50吉瓦的可再生净发电量，比以前的水平增长20倍，年度低碳投资增加10倍到50亿美元，石油和天然气产量减少了40％。在2020年1月，微软宣布了到2030年实现碳负排放的目标，并在2050年之前从环境中去除的碳超过其自成立以来的排放量。

BP and Microsoft form digitalisation partnership

BP and Microsoft Corp. have agreed to collaborate as strategic partners to further digital transformation in energy systems and advance the net zero carbon goals of both companies.

“BP is determined to get to net zero and to help the world do the same. No one can do it alone – partnerships with leading companies like Microsoft, with aligned ambitions, are going to be key to achieving this,” said William Lin, BP executive vice president for regions, cities & solutions. “By bringing our complementary skills and experience together, we are not only helping each other achieve our decarbonisation ambitions but also creating opportunities to support others on their journey towards reducing carbon emissions.”?

“BP shares our vision for a net zero carbon future, and we are committed to working together to drive reductions in carbon emissions and fulfil demand with new renewable energy sources,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president of Microsoft’s Worldwide Commercial Business. “A strategic partnership such as this enables each organisation to bring its unique expertise for industry-leading change and the potential to positively impact billions of lives around the world.”?

Earlier this year, BP announced its ambition to become a net zero emissions company by 2050 or ?sooner, and to help the world reach net zero. By the end of the decade, it aims to have developed ?around 50 gigawatts of net renewable generating capacity – a 20-fold increase on what it has ?previously developed, increased annual low carbon investment 10-fold to around US$5 billion and cut oil ?and gas production by 40%. In January 2020, Microsoft announced its goal to be carbon negative by ??2030 and remove more carbon from the environment than it has emitted since its founding by 2050.
