據鉆機地帶3月22日消息稱，根據殼牌最新的《2022年能源轉型進展報告》，殼牌在成為凈零公司方面繼續取得進展。該公司在聲明中指出，作為能源轉型戰略的一部分，它再次實現了氣候目標。

殼牌首席執行官Wael Sawan表示：“在這份報告中，我們展示了我們在2050年成為凈零排放能源業務方面所取得的進展，因為我們將繼續在巨大動蕩時期供應世界所需的重要能源。我對我們在減少碳排放方面取得的進展感到特別自豪，到2022年底，與2016年相比凈排放量減少了30%。”

該公司的聲明中寫道，到2022年底，殼牌銷售的能源產品的凈碳強度也比2016年下降了3.8%。殼牌公司使用國際能源機構的數據進行的分析顯示，全球能源系統的凈碳強度在這段時間內下降了約2%。

在能源轉型戰略道路上，殼牌對液化天然氣進行了大量投資，該公司預計液化天然氣在未來許多年仍將是能源結構的重要組成部分，部分原因是液化天然氣在減少發電和運輸排放方面的作用。

聲明稱，其他措施包括殼牌向印度可再生能源開發商Sprng Energy投資16億美元，以及對荷蘭氫1號項目的最終投資決定，該項目將成為歐洲最大的可再生氫工廠。

2022年，殼牌還以約20億美元的價格收購了生產可再生天然氣的丹麥自然能源公司。該公司提醒稱，這筆交易于2023年初完成。

殼牌還將其在全球擁有或運營的電動汽車充電站數量從去年的8.6萬個增加到2022年的13.9萬個，增長了62%。

殼牌董事長Andrew Mackenzie表示：“我們相信，我們在能源轉型戰略方面取得的進展造福了我們的客戶、股東和更廣泛的社會?！?/p>

這一進展是在能源系統仍然面臨挑戰之際取得的，因為高能源價格繼續導致許多人的生活成本危機。殼牌在聲明中寫道：“這些挑戰凸顯了平衡能源轉型的必要性：在實現全球凈零排放的同時，仍然提供安全和負擔得起的能源供應?！?/p>

Shell Meeting its Energy Transition Targets

Shell has continued to make progress towards becoming a net-zero company, according to its latest Energy Transition Progress Report 2022. The company noted in its statement that it has again met its climate targets as part of its energy transition strategy.

“In this report, we show the progress we have made towards becoming a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, as we continue to supply the vital energy the world needs during a time of great volatility," said Wael Sawan, Shell's Chief Executive Officer. "I am especially proud of the progress we have made in reducing carbon emissions from our operations, with a 30 percent reduction by the end of 2022 compared with 2016 on a net basis."

By the end of 2022, the net carbon intensity of the energy products sold by Shell had also fallen by 3.8 percent, compared with 2016, the company’s statement reads. Shell’s analysis, using data from the International Energy Agency, shows the net carbon intensity of the global energy system fell by around 2 percent over that time.

On its energy transition strategy path, Shell has significantly invested in LNG, which the company expects to remain an important part of the energy mix for many years to come, partly because of its role in reducing emissions from power generation and transport.

Other steps include Shell's $1.6 billion investment in Indian renewable power developer Sprng Energy, and the final investment decision on the Holland Hydrogen 1 project in the Netherlands, which will be Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen plant, the statement reads.

In 2022, Shell also acquired Denmark's Nature Energy, which produces renewable natural gas, for around $2 billion. This deal was completed at the beginning of 2023, the company reminded.

Shell also increased the number of electric vehicle charge points it owned or operated worldwide by 62 percent to around 139,000 in 2022, up from 86,000 the previous year.

“We believe the progress we have made in line with our energy transition strategy has been to the benefit of our customers, our shareholders and wider society,” said Andrew Mackenzie, Shell Chair.

This progress comes at a time when the energy system still faces challenges as high energy prices continue to contribute to a cost-of-living crisis for many people. These challenges have highlighted the need for a balanced energy transition: one in which the world achieves net-zero emissions, while still providing a secure and affordable supply of energy, Shell’s statement reads.
