加拿大將推動(dòng)清潔液化天然氣技術(shù)

據(jù)管道油氣新聞網(wǎng)9月7日消息：在加斯特虛擬峰會(huì)開幕式上的部長(zhǎng)級(jí)主題演講中，加拿大自然資源部長(zhǎng)謝默斯·奧里根談到了加拿大如何關(guān)注清潔液化天然氣技術(shù)。

“我們理解對(duì)世界的責(zé)任。并承諾要超過2030年的氣候目標(biāo)，然后在2050年達(dá)到凈零排放。因此，我們正在利用所有這些資產(chǎn)來建設(shè)世界上最清潔的石油部門?！?/span>

他補(bǔ)充稱:“加拿大石油部門是我們國(guó)家在清潔技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的最大投資。通常，占私營(yíng)部門研發(fā)投入的70％以上，每年超過10億美元。這包括對(duì)天然氣電氣化和減少甲烷排放進(jìn)行的大量投資。并利用多樣化的能源資產(chǎn)來拓展新的機(jī)遇，例如氫氣，碳捕獲和可再生天然氣。”

耗資400億美元的加拿大液化天然氣項(xiàng)目將排放的溫室氣體排放量是全球類似設(shè)施的一半。其他加拿大液化天然氣項(xiàng)目計(jì)劃進(jìn)一步提高環(huán)境績(jī)效，例如擬議中的木質(zhì)纖維設(shè)施，該設(shè)施將完全實(shí)現(xiàn)電動(dòng)化，并將排放量削減90%。

奧里根在結(jié)束他的部長(zhǎng)級(jí)主題演講時(shí)說:“我們要想從深度的疫情影響中恢復(fù)經(jīng)濟(jì)，必須在繼續(xù)創(chuàng)新的同時(shí)做到與原住民合作。以加拿大作為吸引投資者的目的為基礎(chǔ)，朝著凈零的方向努力。"

Canada pushing for clean LNG technology

The Ministerial keynote address during Gastech Virtual Summit’s opening ceremony saw Canada’s Minister for Natural Resources, Honourable Seamus O’Regan, talk about how Canada is focusing on clean LNG technology.

“We understand the responsibilities we have to the world. All part of our commitment to exceed our 2030 climate targets and then reach net-zero emissions by 2050. So, we are using all of these assets to build the cleanest petroleum sector in the world,” said O’Regan.

He added: “The Canadian petroleum sector that is...by far...our country’s largest investor in the clean tech sector. Routinely accounting for more than 70 percent of all private-sector investment in R&D. More than US$1 billion every year. That includes making significant investments to electrify gas fields and reduce methane emissions. And leveraging our diverse energy assets to expand into new opportunities...such as hydrogen, carbon capture, and renewable natural gas.”

The Minister touched on how Canada is building one of the largest and cleanest LNG facilities of its kind.

“The $40-billion LNG Canada project will emit half the G-H-G emissions as those from similar facilities around the world. Other Canadian LNG projects plan to take environmental performance even further . . . such as the proposed Woodfibre facility, which would be fully electric and slash emissions by 90 per cent.”

O’Regan ended his Ministerial keynote by saying: “We are reviving our economy from the deep-freeze bought on by COVID-19. And we have to do it while continuing to innovate. Partnering with First Nations, Inuit and Metis. Building on Canada’s status as an attractive destination for investors. And working toward net-zero. And all of this while carefully managing an ongoing pandemic”
