據MRCHUB網站7月26日莫斯科報道，空氣產品公司表示，該公司將在未來五年投入或承諾至少40億美元的新資本，以支持清潔能源轉型，到2027年，其對先行項目的總承諾將達到150億美元。

這家工業天然氣公司7月25日做出了新發布的“Third by 30”二氧化碳排放強度目標的承諾，這是對現有范圍1和2目標的補充，到2050年達到凈零。

為了實現其雄心勃勃的目標，空氣產品公司確定了新投資和現有公司資產改造的切實過渡計劃，包括低碳和零碳氫以及碳捕獲技術。

空氣產品公司董事長、總裁兼首席執行官塞菲·加西米表示，這些承諾補充了公司的增長戰略，即建立公司業務，提供氣候效益，并與客戶在可持續發展的道路上合作。空氣產品公司具有獨特的優勢，能夠將其技術組合和豐富的經驗相結合，確保先行項目在能源轉型的關鍵時刻帶來氣候效益。

公司繼續看到氫氣和碳捕獲技術的重大機遇，公司行業領先的150億美元資本承諾進一步證明了可持續性是業務和增長的核心。

2020年9月，這家總部位于美國的公司首次推出了其可持續發展目標，即到2030年將其二氧化碳排放強度在2015年的基礎上降低三分之一。從那時起，可持續發展就一直是其承諾的核心。

Air Products announces USD15bn clean energy investment

Air Products will spend or commit at least $4bn in additional new capital to support the clean energy transition over the next five years, bringing its total commitment to first-mover projects to USD15bn by 2027, said the company.

The industrial gas company today (25th July) made the pledge as part of its newly published ‘Third by 30’ carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions intensity goal for Scope 3 emissions, an addition to its existing Scope 1 and 2 goal to reach Net Zero from its operations by 2050.

In order to reach its ambitious targets, Air Products has identified tangible transition plans for new investments and modifications of existing company assets, including low- and zero- carbon hydrogen and carbon capture technologies.

Seifi Ghasemi, Chairman, President and CEO of Air Products, said, “These commitments complement the reinforce our growth strategy of building our business to deliver climate benefits and work alongside our customers on their sustainability journey."

“Air Products is uniquely positioned to bring together its portfolio of technologies and legacy of experience to ensure the future climate benefits generated by our first-mover projects come online at a crucial moment in the energy transition."

“We continue to see significant opportunities for hydrogen and carbon capture technologies, and our industry-leading USD15bn capital commitment is further demonstration of sustainability being at the heart of our business and growth."

It was in September 2020 when the US-based firm first launched its sustainability goal to reduce its CO2 emissions intensity by one-third by the year 2030 from a 2015 baseline – and ever since sustainability has been at the heart of its commitments.
