據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)站5月3日報(bào)道 西方石油公司的低碳部門周二表示，計(jì)劃建設(shè)和運(yùn)營一個(gè)試點(diǎn)工廠，使用人造二氧化碳（而非碳?xì)浠衔镌希┥a(chǎn)生物乙烯。

　　該試驗(yàn)工廠將由西方石油的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資公司西方石油低碳合資有限公司和生物工程初創(chuàng)公司Cemvita Factory聯(lián)合開發(fā)。預(yù)計(jì)2022年開始運(yùn)行。

　　生物乙烯目前是由甘蔗制成的生物乙醇制備。

　　Cemvita首席執(zhí)行官M(fèi)oji Karimi表示，這項(xiàng)新技術(shù)利用二氧化碳、水和光生產(chǎn)生物乙烯，有助于降低成本和碳排放。

　　乙烯廣泛應(yīng)用于化工行業(yè)，是從塑料薄膜到聚氯乙烯管道 和冷卻劑等產(chǎn)品的組成部分。

　　近年來，人們對低碳倡議的興趣與日俱增，從尋求抵消其氣候影響的公司到擔(dān)心國際減排協(xié)議進(jìn)展緩慢的政府官員。

　　2019年，西方石油低碳合資有限公司投資Cemvita，為西方石油的化工部門尋找生物制造業(yè)。

　　Occidental unit to build low-carbon bio-ethylene plant

　　Occidental Petroleum's low-carbon unit said on Tuesday it plans to construct and operate a pilot plant that would use human-made carbon dioxide, instead of hydrocarbon-sourced feedstocks, to produce bio-ethylene.

　　The pilot plant will be jointly developed by Occidental's venture capital arm, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures LLC, and bio-engineering startup, Cemvita Factory. It is expected to start functioning in 2022.

　　Bio-ethylene is currently made from bio-ethanol, which is made from sugarcane.

　　The new technology produces bio-ethylene from carbon dioxide, water and light, which helps lower costs and carbon emissions, Cemvita's Chief Executive Officer Moji Karimi said.

　　Ethylene, widely used in the chemical industry, is a component of products ranging from plastic films to PVC piping and coolants.

　　Interest in low-carbon initiatives has grown in recent years, ranging from companies seeking to offset their climate impact to public officials worried about the slow pace of international agreements to cut emissions.

　　Oxy Low Carbon Ventures in 2019 had invested in Cemvita to look at bio-manufacturing for Occidental's chemical unit.
