據(jù)世界能源網(wǎng)6月19日?qǐng)?bào)道，作為向低碳化邁進(jìn)的重要舉措，石油巨頭殼牌公司宣布計(jì)劃從2024年到2025年每年投資高達(dá)10億美元用于氫能和碳捕集與封存（CCS）技術(shù)。

殼牌公司下游主管Huibert Vigeveno強(qiáng)調(diào)了加強(qiáng)政策和監(jiān)管支持以促進(jìn)這些技術(shù)發(fā)展的必要性。Vigeveno以美國(guó)的《通貨膨脹削減法案》（IRA）為例，該法案為綠色氫能生產(chǎn)和CCS項(xiàng)目提供稅收減免和補(bǔ)貼。

雖然沒有透露資金分配在氫能和CCS方面的具體細(xì)節(jié)，但Vigeveno提到了荷蘭的氫能1號(hào)項(xiàng)目，該項(xiàng)目是一個(gè)氫能生產(chǎn)設(shè)施，將從殼牌的海上風(fēng)電場(chǎng)獲取能源。然而，殼牌關(guān)于氫能計(jì)劃的進(jìn)一步信息尚待揭示。

殼牌的投資策略優(yōu)先考慮難以減排的行業(yè)，包括生物燃料和電動(dòng)汽車，這些行業(yè)兼具盈利與碳減排的雙重優(yōu)勢(shì)。該公司認(rèn)識(shí)到向低碳未來(lái)的過(guò)渡不會(huì)呈線性發(fā)展，但殼牌的目標(biāo)是在整個(gè)能源轉(zhuǎn)型過(guò)程中成為一個(gè)具備彈性和盈利能力的投資案例。

展望未來(lái)，預(yù)計(jì)殼牌公司將在2024年初公布其能源轉(zhuǎn)型戰(zhàn)略的最新進(jìn)展，概述其應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化和實(shí)現(xiàn)長(zhǎng)期可持續(xù)目標(biāo)的全面方案。

Shell Commits $1 Billion to Hydrogen and CCS Investments

In a significant move toward decarbonization, oil giant Shell has announced its plan to invest up to $1 billion annually in hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies in 2024 and 2025.

The capital expenditure will primarily target regions such as Northwest Europe, the Middle East, and North America, where Shell has an existing presence, policy support is in place, customer demand is expected to be strong, and a pathway to profitability is visible.

Huibert Vigeveno, Shell’s Downstream Director, emphasized the need for stronger policy and regulatory support to foster the development of these technologies. Vigeveno cited the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the United States as an example, which offers tax credits and subsidies for green hydrogen production and CCS projects. The IRA provides tax credits of up to $3 per kilogram of green hydrogen produced, supporting the commercial viability of such initiatives.

While specific details regarding the proportion of funding allocated to hydrogen and CCS were not disclosed, Vigeveno mentioned the Holland Hydrogen 1 project in the Netherlands as a hydrogen production facility that would source its energy from a Shell offshore wind farm. However, further information regarding Shell’s plans for hydrogen remains to be seen.

Shell’s investment strategy aligns with its aim to prioritize hard-to-abate sectors, including biofuels and electric vehicles, where profitable opportunities for emission reduction exist. The company recognizes that the transition to a low-carbon future will not follow a linear path, but Shell aims to position itself as a profitable investment case throughout the energy transition process.

Looking ahead, Shell is expected to provide an update on its energy transition strategy in early 2024, outlining its comprehensive approach to addressing climate change and achieving long-term sustainability goals.
