據安迅思能源10月17日消息稱，bp宣布同意收購美國領先的可再生天然氣(RNG)生產商古生能源公司，此舉將擴大和加速其戰略生物能源業務的增長。

此次協議收購將以33億美元的現金以及約800萬美元的凈債務進行，并有待監管機構和古生能源公司股東的批準。

生物能源是bp計劃在本十年快速增長的五大戰略轉型增長引擎之一。bp預計，到2025年，對轉型增長業務的投資將達到其年度總資本支出的40%以上，并計劃到2030年將這一比例提高到50%左右。

收購古生能源將擴大bp在美國沼氣行業的影響力，增強其支持客戶脫碳目標的能力，并推進其降低其所銷售能源產品平均碳強度的目標。bp的目標是到2050年或更早將碳強度降至凈零。

bp accelerates and expands in bioenergy, agreeing to buy Archaea Energy

In a move that will expand and accelerate the growth of its strategic bioenergy business, bp announced that it has agreed to acquire Archaea Energy Inc., a leading producer of renewable natural gas (RNG) in the US, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.

The agreed acquisition, which is subject to regulatory and Archaea shareholder approval, will be for USD3.3 B in cash, as well as around USD800 MM of net debt.

Bioenergy is one of five strategic transition growth engines that bp intends to grow rapidly through this decade. bp expects investment into its transition growth businesses to reach more than 40% of its total annual capital expenditure by 2025, aiming to grow this to around 50% by 2030.

Acquiring Archaea will expand bp’s presence in the US biogas industry, enhancing its ability to support customers’ decarbonization goals and also progressing its aim to reduce the average carbon intensity of the energy products it sells. bp aims to reduce that carbon intensity to net zero by 2050 or sooner.
