據離岸工程網站10月5日消息 西班牙雷普索爾將其2030年可再生能源發電能力目標提高了60%,并就其石油和天然氣業務的減排做出了新的承諾,這是一家能源集團限制其在氣候變化中的作用的最新嘗試。

碳排放的壓力,歐洲石油和天然氣公司制定了各種目標,以建設更多的可再生能源產能,提高能源效率。
雷普索爾表示,該公司目前計劃在2030年之前安裝風能、太陽能和水力發電廠,總容量為20吉瓦,高于此前的12.7吉瓦的目標。

價格也攀升到多年來的最高點,這給了雷普索爾等公司將部分收益投入低碳戰略的機會。
首席執行官喬蘇·喬恩·伊瑪茲在向投資者介紹時表示:“能源轉型對我們來說是一個商機。”
該公司首次設定了其定義為絕對排放量的減排目標。該公司的目標是到2030年將其自有設施的排放量減少55%,并將其從地下生產的所有產品(包括客戶使用的產品)的凈排放量減少30%。
在更新其投資計劃時,該公司表示,預計到2025年將花費193億歐元(224億美元),其中35%將用于低碳業務。
今年早些時候,雷普索爾收購了美國最大的私營太陽能發電廠開發商和運營商之一40%的股份,并將西班牙的兩座太陽能發電廠接入電網。
雷普索爾表示,公司正在考慮剝離低碳業務,并將股份出售給私人合作伙伴或在公共股票市場上出售。

Repsol Increases Low-carbon Targets to Accelerate Energy Transition
Spain's Repsol has hiked its 2030 capacity target for renewable energy generation by 60% and made a new pledge on cutting emissions from its oil and gas business, in the latest attempt by an energy group to limit its role in climate change.
Facing pressure from investors, banks and governments to cut carbon emissions in line with the 2015 Paris accords, European oil and gas companies have set various targets to build more renewable capacity and increase energy efficiency.
Repsol said it now plans to have installed wind, solar and hydro plants with a combined capacity of 20 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, up from its previous target of 12.7 GW.
The Brent crude oil price has rebounded 60% this year and U.S. natural gas prices are climbing to multi-year highs, giving companies like Repsol the chance to plow some of the gains into their low-carbon strategies.
"The energy transition constitutes a business opportunity for us," Chief Executive Josu Jon Imaz said during a presentation to investors.
The company set its first-ever reduction target for what it defines as absolute emissions. It is aiming for a cut of 55% from its own facilities by 2030 and to shrink by 30% net emissions from all products it brings out of the ground, including those used by customers.
In an update to its investment plans, the company said it expected to spend 19.3 billion euros ($22.4 billion) by 2025, 35% of which would go to its low-carbon business.
Earlier this year, Repsol bought a 40% stake in one of the largest privately-owned developers and operators of solar plants in the United States, and linked up two solar plants to the grid in Spain.
Repsol has said it is considering spinning off the low-carbon business and selling a stake to a private partner or on public stock markets.
