據天然氣加工新聞網3月8日報道，雪佛龍美國股份有限公司旗下的雪佛龍新能源公司（Chevron New Energies）和日本JERA有限公司（JERA）簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，為雙方在美國和澳大利亞的碳捕集與封存項目上的合作提供了框架。該諒解備忘錄有可能擴大雪佛龍和JERA目前的重要液化天然氣（LNG）關系，并進一步表明兩家公司對推進低碳解決方案的承諾和決心。

繼2022年11月宣布在澳大利亞共同開發低碳燃料和在美國研究液態有機氫載體(LOHC)之后，這份諒解備忘錄進一步加強了兩家公司在低碳領域的合作。

雪佛龍（Chevron）碳捕獲利用和儲存副總裁克里斯·鮑爾斯（Chris Powers）表示：“我們與JERA建立了長期的液化天然氣合作關系，這一關系將繼續發展，旨在為我們的客戶提供價格合理、可靠且更清潔的解決方案。我們在地下領域擁有豐富的經驗和能力，并正在世界各地積極開發CCS項目。我們明白，如果沒有像我們與JERA這樣的長期合作關系，我們就無法開發這些資源，也無法以我們一直在推進能源轉型目標的速度前進。”

JERA資源采購與投資部主管、執行官Gaku Takagi表示：“根據JERA 2050年二氧化碳零排放目標，JERA一直致力于到2050年將國內外企業的二氧化碳排放量降至零。多年來，JERA和雪佛龍攜手合作，為我們的客戶帶來穩定可靠的液化天然氣，此次CCS合作進一步表明了我們對推進低碳解決方案的堅定承諾。雪佛龍在CCS業務方面擁有豐富的專業知識和經驗，因此我們期待著在向脫碳社會轉型的過程中共同努力。”

Chevron and JERA sign MoU to explore carbon capture and storage projects in U.S. and Australia

Chevron New Energies (Chevron), a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., and JERA Co. Inc. (JERA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that provides a framework for their collaboration on carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects located in the U.S. and Australia. This MoU has the potential to expand the significant liquid natural gas (LNG) relationship that Chevron and JERA have today, and further demonstrates the commitment and dedication both companies have to advancing lower carbon solutions.

This MoU furthers the collaboration between the companies in the lower carbon space, following the November 2022 announcement of their collaboration on the potential co-development of lower carbon fuel in Australia and the study of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) in the U.S.

“We have a long-standing LNG relationship with JERA that continues to progress, with the intent of bringing affordable, reliable and ever-cleaner solutions to our customers,” said Chris Powers, Vice President of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage at Chevron. “We have deep experience and capability in subsurface and are actively developing CCS projects around the world. We understand that without long-term relationships like the one we have with JERA, we wouldn’t be able to develop these resources and move at the pace we have been moving to further our energy transition goals.”

Gaku Takagi, Executive Officer, Head of the Resource Procurement & Investment Division of JERA, said, “Under its 'JERA Zero CO2 Emissions 2050' objective, JERA has been working to reduce CO2 emissions from its domestic and overseas businesses to zero by 2050. JERA and Chevron have worked together to bring stable and reliable LNG to our customers over the years, and this CCS collaboration further demonstrates our strong commitment to advance lower carbon solutions. Chevron brings significant expertise and experience in the CCS business, so we look forward to working together as we aim to transition to a decarbonized society.”
