據石油世界期刊6月9日休斯敦報道，海上油氣生產商塔洛斯能源公司（Talos Energy Inc.）正進入碳捕獲業務，加入了越來越多的大型能源公司的行列，這些公司正在進行涉及溫室氣體減排技術使用的項目。

　　兩家公司周二在一份聲明中表示，塔洛斯與總部位于英國的Storegga Geotechnologies Ltd. 成立了一家合資企業，為美國墨西哥灣沿岸的石化和工業設施提供碳捕獲和海上儲存。他們估計墨西哥灣下的地質構造可以容納超過300億噸的二氧化碳排放。

　　塔洛斯能源首席執行官蒂姆·鄧肯（Tim Duncan）表示，我們有責任以盡可能低的碳足跡提供廉價的、可靠的能源，這家合資企業使我們能夠擴大我們的影響，使我們的影響超越我們自己的資產，為消除我們關鍵工業部門的排放提供解決方案

　　在面臨投資者和政府應對氣候變化的壓力后，包括埃克森美孚公司、金德摩根公司和Nextecade Corp.在內的許多能源公司去年宣布了碳捕獲項目。瓦萊羅能源公司(Valero Energy Corp.)、貝萊德公司(BlackRock Inc.)以及領航者能源服務公司(Navigator Energy Services LLC)甚至正在開發一個工業規模的碳捕獲管道系統，這是向低碳能源轉型提供資本的另一個信號。

　　去年從其海上油井日產超過 7.1萬桶石油當量的塔洛斯，將作為運營合作伙伴，而 Storegga 將提供碳儲存專業知識。這兩家公司承諾將對其初始項目的成本進行50/50的分攤，每個項目都將有自己的運營協議、融資結構和增加合作伙伴的能力。

　　Pemex's partner Talos Energy on a green drive enters C02 capture business

　　Offshore oil and gas producer Talos Energy Inc. is entering the carbon-capture business, joining a growing list of major energy companies undertaking projects involving the use of greenhouse gas-reducing technology.

　　Talos formed a joint venture with U.K.-based Storegga Geotechnologies Ltd. to provide carbon capture and offshore storage for petrochemical and industrial facilities along the U.S. Gulf Coast, the two companies said in a statement on Tuesday. They estimated that geological formations under the Gulf of Mexico can hold more than 30 gigatons of carbon dioxide emissions.

　　“We have a responsibility to deliver affordable, reliable energy with the lowest carbon footprint possible, and this joint venture allows us to expand our impact beyond our own assets to provide solutions for removing emissions from critical industrial sectors in our backyard,” said Talos Energy CEO Tim Duncan.

　　A number of energy companies including Exxon Mobil Corp. , Kinder Morgan Inc. and NextDecade Corp. have announced carbon capture projects within the last year after facing pressure from investors and governments to fight climate change. Valero Energy Corp. and BlackRock Inc. along with Navigator Energy Services LLC are even developing an industrial scale carbon-capture pipeline system, another signal of the shift to capitalize on the transition to low-carbon energy.

　　Talos, which produced more than 71,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day from its offshore wells last year, will serve as the operating partner, while Storegga will provide carbon storage expertise. The two companies have pledged to split costs 50/50 for their initial projects, which will each come with their own operating agreements, financing structures and the ability to add partners.
