據(jù)5月20日Hydrocarbon Processing報(bào)道，日本最大的煉油企業(yè)JXTG控股公司（JXTG Holdings Inc.）表示，未來(lái)三年將斥資1.5萬(wàn)億日元（約合140億美元），推動(dòng)其轉(zhuǎn)型為低碳能源和材料供應(yīng)商。

根據(jù)一項(xiàng)新的中期商業(yè)計(jì)劃，到2023年3月底的支出將比過(guò)去3年的1.04萬(wàn)億日元增長(zhǎng)了44%。

JXTG控股公司總裁杉本聰表示，此基金將用于加強(qiáng)其在可再生能源、電子材料和石化領(lǐng)域的業(yè)務(wù)。他補(bǔ)充道，新的計(jì)劃是基于這樣一個(gè)假設(shè)，即石油產(chǎn)品和其他產(chǎn)品的需求將在本財(cái)政年度的4月至9月繼續(xù)下降。

杉本在新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上表示：“我們不知道這此次疫情的影響會(huì)持續(xù)多久，但我們認(rèn)為目前低碳發(fā)展的趨勢(shì)不會(huì)改變。我們將堅(jiān)持我們的長(zhǎng)期愿景。”

去年，石油和金屬集團(tuán)（oil and metals group）公布了到2040年的長(zhǎng)期愿景。基于到2040年國(guó)內(nèi)石油需求將減半的猜測(cè)，這一愿景加強(qiáng)了可再生能源、化工產(chǎn)品、發(fā)電和電子材料等領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展。

周三，該公司又增加了一個(gè)新目標(biāo)，即通過(guò)減少煉油廠的排放量和增加可再生能源、制氫和碳捕獲與儲(chǔ)存（CCS）等無(wú)碳資產(chǎn)，在2040年實(shí)現(xiàn)“碳中和”。

杉本還表示：“盡管油價(jià)暴跌，但推動(dòng)可再生能源發(fā)展的趨勢(shì)不會(huì)改變。“該集團(tuán)旗下JXTG日本石油能源公司（JXTG Nippon Oil&Energy）總裁大田康夫（Katsuyuki Ota）將于6月出任JXTG Holdings總裁，杉本將成為董事長(zhǎng)。

Japan's JXTG plans to spend $14 B on transformation plan

JXTG Holdings Inc, Japan’s biggest oil refiner, said it will spend 1.5 trillion yen ($14 billion) for the next three years to drive its transformation into a supplier of low-carbon energy and materials.

The planned spending, mapped out under a new medium-term business plan through end-March 2023, is a 44% jump from the 1.04 trillion yen spent in the past 3 years.

The fund will be used to strengthen its business in renewable energy, electronic materials and petrochemicals, JXTG Holdings President Tsutomu Sugimori said.

The new plan is based on an assumption that a decline in demand for petroleum products and others due to the pandemic will continue in the April-September half of the current financial year, he said.

“We don’t know how long an impact from the pandemic will continue, but we don’t think the current trend toward a low-carbon society will change,” Sugimori told a news conference.

“We will stick to our long-term vision,” he said.

Last year, the oil and metals group unveiled a long-term vision through 2040, reinforcing growth areas such as renewable energy, chemical products, power generation and electronic materials, based on an estimate that domestic oil demand will halve by 2040.

On Wednesday, the company added a new goal to become “carbon neutral” in 2040, by reducing emissions from refineries and boosting carbon-free assets such as renewable energy, hydrogen generation, and carbon capture and storage (CCS).

“The growing trend of boosting renewable energy won’t change despite a slump in oil prices,” Sugimori said.

The company also announced that Katsuyuki Ota, president of JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy, an energy unit of the group, will become JXTG Holdings’ president in June. Sugimori will become chairman.
