據(jù)天然氣加工倫敦報(bào)道，西班牙能源提供商雷普索爾公司3月12日表示，該公司首次使用碳補(bǔ)償信貸來補(bǔ)償客戶將用于驅(qū)動(dòng)船舶的液化天然氣所產(chǎn)生的排放。

可做交易的補(bǔ)償信貸旨在通過支持世界其他地方的植樹造林和可再生能源生產(chǎn)基地等項(xiàng)目，平衡排放造成的全球變暖效應(yīng)。

雷普索爾公司表示，在位于西班牙東南部的系統(tǒng)運(yùn)營商Enagas擁有的一個(gè)終端，雷普索爾公司已向瑞典公司Furetank Rederi擁有的一艘150米長的化學(xué)品運(yùn)輸船供應(yīng)了430立方米的液化天然氣。

為了補(bǔ)償船舶使用燃料時(shí)排放到大氣中的二氧化碳，雷普索爾公司表示，它已在與自然氣候解決方案相關(guān)的自愿碳市場(chǎng)上購買了碳排放信貸，這往往包括造林、土地管理和濕地保護(hù)。

然而，與該行業(yè)的其他一些運(yùn)營商不同，雷普索爾公司不會(huì)補(bǔ)償其燃料的生產(chǎn)和運(yùn)輸，而是更愿意致力于減少自身業(yè)務(wù)的排放。

其他采取不同方式的能源公司包括俄羅斯天然氣工業(yè)股份公司(Gazprom)，該公司本周首次通過一家公司的補(bǔ)償來覆蓋向歐洲生產(chǎn)和運(yùn)輸液化天然氣的費(fèi)用。

雷普索爾公司發(fā)言人表示，該公司在此次交易中支付了補(bǔ)償費(fèi)用，并正在評(píng)估未來如何處理這些費(fèi)用。

Repsol makes first delivery of carbon-compensated LNG

Repsol for the first time has used carbon offset credits to compensate for emissions from LNG a customer will use to power a ship, the Spanish energy provider said.

Tradeable offset credits aim to balance the planet-warming effects of emissions by supporting projects such as forestation and renewable energy generation sites elsewhere in the world.

Repsol said it had supplied 430 cubic metres of LNG to a 150-metre long chemical tanker owned by Swedish firm Furetank Rederi at a terminal owned by system operator Enagas in southeastern Spain.

To compensate for the carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere as the ship uses the fuel, Repsol said it had bought credits on the voluntary carbon market related to natural climate solutions, which tend to include forestation, land management and wetland conservation.

However, unlike some other operators in the sector, Repsol will not offset its production and transport of the fuel, preferring to work on reducing emissions from its own operations.

Other energy companies taking different approaches include Russia’s Gazprom, which used offsets to cover the production and transport of LNG to Europe in a company first this week.

Repsol paid for the offsets in this transaction, and is evaluating how to handle the costs in the future, a spokesman said.
