據海上工程網8月2日報道，阿布扎比國家石油公司（ADNOC）和美國石油公司西方石油公司（Occidental）已同意在阿聯酋（UAE）和美國就二氧化碳捕獲和儲存（CCS）進行合作。

作為由阿聯酋-美國加速清潔能源伙伴關系(PACE)支持的該協議的一部分，兩家公司正在探索在阿聯酋建立直接空氣捕獲(DAC)設施的可行性。

于2022年11月啟動的PACE，旨在到2035年釋放1000億美元(3670億迪拉姆)的投資，以支持清潔能源和碳管理項目。

ADNOC和西方石油還將評估阿聯酋一個或多個碳管理中心建設情況。

這些中心將提供必要的基礎設施和碳捕獲服務，將二氧化碳從阿聯酋碳密集和難以減排的行業轉移并儲存在地質構造中。

根據該協議，ADNOC還將參與西方石油公司在美國的子公司正在開發的幾個DAC和二氧化碳封存設施。

ADNOC低碳解決方案和國際增長執行董事Musabbeh Al Kaabi表示，“大幅減少碳排放以應對氣候變化的需求是明確而緊迫的，碳捕獲是一項可以擴大規模以實現所有行業脫碳的重要技術。隨著我們加快推進2045年實現凈零排放的目標，并實現業務脫碳，這樣的伙伴關系提供了改造系統的潛力，這對于提供世界能源轉型所需的低碳能源至關重要”。

西方石油首席執行官Vicki Hollub表示，“我們期待與ADNOC建立長期合作伙伴關系，同時推進我們在全球部署DAC技術的計劃，并與致力于開發與氣候相關規模的碳解決方案的合作伙伴合作。這樣的伙伴關系對于幫助世界實現其氣候目標、確保世界擁有通過能源轉型實現繁榮所需的資源至關重要”。

該聯盟宣布到2045年實現凈零排放目標，此前，這家石油巨頭的目標是到2050年實現凈零排放。

ADNOC and Occidental join forces for CCS in UAE and US

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and US-based petroleum company Occidental have agreed to collaborate on carbon dioxide (CO?) capture and storage (CCS) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the US.

As part of the deal, which is supported by the UAE-US Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy (PACE), the companies are exploring the feasibility of building direct air capture (DAC) facilities in the UAE.

Launched in November 2022, PACE aims to unlock $100bn (Dh367bn) of investment by 2035 to support clean energy and carbon management projects.

ADNOC and Occidental will also evaluate the construction of one or more carbon management hubs in the UAE.

These hubs will offer the infrastructure and carbon capture services required to transfer CO? from the UAE’s carbon-intensive and hard-to-abate sectors and store it in geological formations.

Under the agreement, ADNOC will also participate in several DAC and CO? sequestration facilities being developed by Occidental’s subsidiary 1PointFive in the US.

ADNOC executive director of low carbon solutions and international growth Musabbeh Al Kaabi said: “The need to significantly reduce carbon emissions to address climate change is clear and urgent and carbon capture is an important technology that can be scaled up to decarbonise across all industries.

“As we accelerate our net-zero ambition to 2045 and decarbonise operations, partnerships like this offer the potential to transform the systems that will be vital to provide the lower-carbon energy the world needs for the energy transition.”

Occidental  CEO Vicki Hollub said: “We look forward to building on our long-standing partnership with ADNOC as we advance our plans to globally deploy DAC technology and engage partners who are committed to developing carbon solutions at climate-relevant scale.

“Partnerships like this one are essential to helping the world reach its climate goals and ensure it has the resources it needs to thrive through the energy transition.”

The alliance comes close on the heels of ADNOC’s announcement to achieve a net-zero emissions target by 2045.

Previously, the oil giant had aimed to achieve net zero by 2050.
