據7月2日Kallanish Energy報道，殼牌歐洲能源公司（Shell Energy Europe）已達成一項新協議，向Nature Energy購買生物甲烷。

根據周三宣布的協議，該公司將向殼牌歐洲能源公司供應生物甲烷，作為其減排和向清潔能源轉型戰略的一部分。

Nature Energy是一家位于丹麥奧登塞的沼氣和清潔能源專家，經營10家國內和2家海外沼氣廠。公司預計2020年沼氣產量為1.7億立方米。

該公司首席執行官OleHvelplund表示：“這項協議是生物甲烷的商業突破。該協議也使我們有更多的力量來實現新的生物甲烷項目。我們希望在丹麥、北美和歐洲其他地區建造幾座大型生物甲烷工廠，而與殼牌達成協議對自然能源和能源轉型都是至關重要的一步。”

Nature Energy稱這是同類交易中最大的一筆，然而，有關資金或數量的協議條款并未披露。殼牌表示，通過該協議提供的生物甲烷將支持其向歐洲消費者提供低碳能源。

Shell signs biomethane deal with Nature Energy

Shell Energy Europe has entered into a new agreement to acquire biomethane gas from Nature Energy, Kallanish Energy reports.

Under the agreement, announced on Wednesday, Nature Gas will supply biomethane gas to Shell Energy Europe as part of its strategy to reduce emissions and transition to cleaner energy.

Nature Energy is a biogas and clear energy specialist based in Odense, Denmark, and operates 10 domestic and 2 overseas biogas plants. The company has a forecasted output of 170 million cubic meters of biogas during 2020.

“This agreement is a commercial breakthrough for biomethane. The size of the agreement also gives us more strength to realize new biomethane projects,” said Ole Hvelplund, CEO of Nature Energy. “We have ambitions to build several large-scale biomethane plants in Denmark, North America and other parts of Europe, and the agreement with Shell is a crucial step for both Nature Energy and the energy transition.”

Nature Energy claims the deal is the largest of its kind; however, terms of the agreement relating to finances or volumes were not disclosed.

Shell stated that supply of biomethane through the agreement will support its efforts to provide lower-carbon energy to its European consumers.
