據能源世界網6月15日馬德里報道，西班牙石油和天然氣公司雷普索爾計劃投資8000萬歐元(9000萬美元)在畢爾巴鄂地區新建兩座工廠，以減少其碳排放。

雷普索爾將建造據稱將是世界上最大的凈零排放燃料設施之一，其基礎是可再生能源產生的綠色氫和西班牙北部Petronor煉油廠捕獲的二氧化碳。雷普索爾擁有該煉油廠的多數股權。

該公司首席執行官Josu Jon Imaz在周一的新聞發布會上表示，第二座工廠將從城市垃圾中產生氣體，取代Petronor煉油廠使用的部分傳統燃料。

Imaz表示，通過這個項目，雷普索爾成為減少碳排放的重要參與者。

雷普索爾已經設定了一個目標，到2050年將其碳排放減少到零，從而為避免全球變暖做出貢獻。

旨在實現“凈零”的公司通常會通過投資于能夠儲存碳的技術，或在森林等自然吸收實現碳排放平衡。

雷普索爾表示，使用已經開發或接近成熟的技術，可以達到其目標的至少70%，然后將實施碳捕獲、使用和存儲來提高這一數字，并在必要時轉向自然吸收。

雷普索爾表示，周一宣布的第一個項目是利用氫氣和二氧化碳生產燃料，這將是實驗性的，每天可生產50桶合成燃料。 該項目將“根據所獲得的結果在以后的階段進行擴大”。

第二個項目將能夠每年處理1萬噸城市垃圾，處理能力可以提高到每年10萬噸，即該地區產生的所有城市垃圾。

Repsol to invest $90 million in two low-emissions projects in Spain

Spanish oil and gas company Repsol plans to invest 80 million euros ($90 million) to build two new plants in the Bilbao area as part of efforts reduce its carbon emissions.

Repsol will build what it said would be one of the world's biggest net-zero emissions fuel facilities, based on green hydrogen generated with renewable energy and carbon dioxide captured at the Petronor refinery in northern Spain, in which it owns a majority stake.

The second plant will generate gas from urban waste, replacing some of the traditional fuels used by the Petronor refinery, Chief Executive Josu Jon Imaz told a news conference on Monday.

"With this project, Repsol becomes a relevant player in reducing carbon emissions," Imaz said.

Repsol had set a target to reduce its carbon emissions to a net zero by 2050 to contribute to the general struggle to avert global warming.

Companies aiming to achieve "net-zero" usually balance emissions from their operations by investing in technology that can store carbon, or in natural sinks such as forests.

Repsol said it could reach at least 70 per cent of its goal using technology that was already developed or nearly mature, and then would implement carbon capture, use and storage to raise that figure, and turn to natural sinks if necessary.

The first project, fuel production from hydrogen and CO2, announced on Monday will be experimental and produce 50 barrels of synthetic fuel a day, Repsol said. The project will be "scalable in a later stage depending on the results obtained."

The second project will be able to process 10,000 tons of urban waste a year and capacity could be increased to 100,000 tons a year, or all the urban waste produced in the area.
