據(jù)OE網(wǎng)站9月27日報道,石油巨頭英國石油公司(BP)的一位高級公司官員周一表示,亞洲需要采用碳定價機(jī)制,以幫助加快向低排放的過渡。
BP新加坡總裁兼 BP 亞太和中東貿(mào)易和航運(yùn)部門首席執(zhí)行官Eugene Leong表示,能夠防止碳泄漏,將碳轉(zhuǎn)移到另一個領(lǐng)域的一個設(shè)計良好的碳定價框架,需要進(jìn)行過渡。
Leong在APPEC 2021年年度會議的預(yù)先錄制的討論中表示,其在發(fā)達(dá)國家更為成熟,一個精心設(shè)計的碳價格會為轉(zhuǎn)型提供正確的激勵機(jī)制。
Leong稱,亞洲還可以通過增加生物燃料的使用,并將天然氣消費(fèi)與碳捕獲、使用和儲存(CCUS)等技術(shù)結(jié)合起來,以“實(shí)現(xiàn)一種非常低的碳能源,可以大規(guī)模、經(jīng)濟(jì)地部署”,從而加快其降低
碳排放的步伐。
在向低碳未來轉(zhuǎn)型的過程中,液化天然氣(LNG)預(yù)計將在未來10-15年在亞洲發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵作用。
Leong表示,“液化天然氣也將為可再生能源鋪平道路”,因?yàn)槠錇殡娋W(wǎng)提供了穩(wěn)定性,而可再生能源仍是一種“間歇性”能源。
一些亞洲國家已經(jīng)開始使用液化天然氣取代煤炭,以滿足其能源需求。
作為英國石油公司能源轉(zhuǎn)型重點(diǎn)的一部分,其重點(diǎn)關(guān)注的兩個領(lǐng)域是流動性和低碳能源。
據(jù)Leong稱,到2030年,BP的目標(biāo)是將其全球汽車充電點(diǎn)的數(shù)量從目前的11,000個增加到 70,000 個。并補(bǔ)充道,我們已經(jīng)將低碳能源發(fā)電管道的發(fā)電能力提高了一倍多,達(dá)到了21吉瓦,我們的海上業(yè)務(wù)也增加到了大約4吉瓦。

BP Exec: Asia Needs Carbon Pricing to Accelerate Energy Transition
Asia needs to adopt a carbon pricing mechanism to help accelerate its transition towards lower emissions, a senior company official at oil major BP said on Monday.
"A well-designed carbon pricing framework that is able to prevent carbon leakage, moving carbon to another area, needs to take place for a transition," said Eugene Leong, president of BP Singapore and chief executive of BP's trading & shipping arm of Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
"It is much more established in the developed countries, and a well-designed carbon price drives the right incentives for transition," Leong said in a pre-recorded discussion for the annual APPEC 2021 conference.
Asia could also accelerate its move to lower carbon emissions by ramping up the use of biofuels and coupling natural gas consumption with technologies like carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) to "enable a very low carbon energy source that can be deployed at scale, and affordably", said Leong.
In the transition towards a lower carbon future, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to play a key role in Asia for the next 10 to 15 years.
"LNG is also going to pave the way to renewables" because it provides stability in the grid while renewables are still an "intermittent" source of energy, said Leong.
Some countries in Asia have already started using LNG to replace coal to meet their energy demands.
As part of BP's focus on energy transition, two of its main areas of focus are mobility and low carbon energies.
By 2030, BP aims to boost its number of global car charging points 70,000, from 11,000 currently, according to Leong.
"We have more than doubled our low carbon energy generating pipeline to 21 gigawatts today (and) have built up our offshore business to roughly about four gigawatts," Leong added.
