埃克森美孚加入苏格兰碳捕获项目
发布日期：2021/7/21
7月18日消息称，埃克森美孚周五表示，该公司已经签署了一份谅解备忘录(MoU)，加入苏格兰Acorn碳捕获和存储(CCS)项目。
该项目计划到2030年从苏格兰Peterhead的St Fergus综合天然气终端捕获和存储大约500 - 600万吨二氧化碳(CO2)，其中包括能源巨头的合资天然气终端。
据估计，Acorn项目可以提供英国政府每年1000万吨二氧化碳减排目标的一半以上。如果进一步扩建，到本世纪30年代中期，该项目的碳减排将超过2000万吨/年。
埃克森美孚低碳解决方案总裁 Joe Blommaert 说：“埃克森美孚在CCS技术方面拥有超过30年的经验，正在全球推进多项新的CCS计划。我们很高兴支持Acorn项目部署CCS，这是实现社会气候目标所需的最重要技术之一。”
这个新项目是埃克森美孚公司向低碳领域进军的计划的一部分，该计划主要通过CCS项目来抵消其运营过程中的排放。
今年早些时候，该公司提出了一个类似的项目，在休斯顿航道建设一个1000亿美元的CCS中心，计划在美国墨西哥湾捕获并掩埋二氧化碳。
美国海湾已被其他 CCS 公司视为理想地点，因为其地质特征可以让大量二氧化碳安全地储存在该地区。
一项早期预测显示，到 2030 年，这样的设施可以捕获和永久储存约 5000 万吨/年的二氧化碳，到2040年，这一数字可能达到1亿吨/年。
根据美国能源部的数据，根据 2018 年的数据，美国海湾的储存容量数据表明它可以储存约 5000 亿吨二氧化碳。
该公司还加入了 NECCUS，这是一个由行业和政府专家组成的组织，致力于减少苏格兰工业设施的碳排放。

ExxonMobil signs MoU to join carbon capture project in Scotland
ExxonMobil has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to join the Acorn carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Scotland, the company said on Friday.
The project plans to capture and store approximately 5-6m tons/year of carbon dioxide (CO2) by 2030 from gas terminals at the St Fergus complex at Peterhead, Scotland, which includes the energy major’s joint-venture gas terminal.
It is estimated that the Acorn project could provide more than half of the 10m tons/year of CO2 storage the UK government has targeted to reduce emissions. With further expansion the project could have capacity for more than 20m tons/year by the mid-2030s.
“ExxonMobil has more than 30 years’ experience in CCS technology and is advancing plans for multiple new CCS opportunities around the world,” said Joe Blommaert, president of Low Carbon Solutions at ExxonMobil. “We are pleased to support the Acorn Project in the deployment of CCS, one of the most important technologies required to achieve society’s climate goals.”
The new project is part of ExxonMobil’s scheme to move into the low-carbon space by focusing on CCS projects to offset emissions from its operations.
Earlier this year, the company proposed a similar project in the form of a $100bn CCS hub in the Houston Ship Channel with plans to capture and bury CO2 under the US Gulf of Mexico.
The US Gulf has been seen by other CCS companies as an ideal site because its geological characteristics could allow large quantities of CO2 to be safely stored in the region.
An early projection shows that such a facility could capture and permanently store about 50m tonnes/year of CO2 by 2030, and by 2040 that could reach 100m tonnes/year.
Storage capacity figures for the US Gulf indicate it could hold about 500bn tonnes of CO2, based on 2018 data, according to the US Department of Energy.
The company has also joined NECCUS, which is an organisation made up of industry and government experts committed to reducing carbon emissions from industrial facilities in Scotland.
