據鉆機地帶6月16日消息稱，英國石油和天然氣協會(OGUK)周二透露，英國海上石油和天然氣行業承諾在未來十年將碳排放減半。

OGUK發布的一份新報告概述了如何通過改變運營方式、逐步減少燃除和排碳，以及實施旨在使用電力而非天然氣為海上設施提供電力的重大資本投資計劃來實現上述目標。

OGUK表示，這些目標是一項“轉型”行業交易的關鍵部分，該行業目前正與英國政府進行正式討論。OGUK指出，該協議以就業、供應鏈和能源社區為核心，并將考慮英國石油和天然氣行業如何支持綠色復蘇。

英國政府能源部長Kwasi Kwarteng表示：“海上石油和天然氣行業承諾在未來十年內將運營排放量減半，這對于在未來幾年在我們的能源轉型中發揮至關重要作用的行業來說，是一個可喜的一步。” 。

他補充說：“英國政府將繼續不懈地與所有合作伙伴合作，達成一項充滿活力的行業協議。隨著我們努力到2050年實現凈零排放，這將進一步支持該行業變得更加可持續。”

Offshore UK Oil to Halve Emissions in Next Decade

The UK’s offshore oil and gas industry committed to halving operational emissions in the next decade on Tuesday, industry body Oil & Gas UK (OGUK) revealed.

A new report published by OGUK outlines how targets will be achieved through changes to operations, progressive reductions in flaring and venting and major capital investment programs aimed at using electricity, rather than gas, to power offshore facilities.

The targets are a key part of a “transformational” sector deal that industry is now formally discussing with the UK government, according to OGUK. This deal has jobs, the supply chain and energy communities at its core and will consider how the UK’s oil and gas industry can support a green recovery, OGUK outlined.

The UK government minister for energy Kwasi Kwarteng said, “the offshore oil and gas sector’s commitment to halving operational emissions over the next decade is a welcome step for an industry that has a vital role to play in our energy transition in the years to come”.

“The UK government will continue to work tirelessly with all partners to deliver a dynamic sector deal. This will further support the industry in becoming more sustainable as we work towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050,” he added.
