壳牌将向Nature Energy购买生物甲烷

据7月2日Kallanish Energy报道，壳牌欧洲能源公司（Shell Energy Europe）已达成一项新协议，向Nature Energy购买生物甲烷。

根据周三宣布的协议，该公司将向壳牌欧洲能源公司供应生物甲烷，作为其减排和向清洁能源转型战略的一部分。

Nature Energy是一家位于丹麦奥登塞的沼气和清洁能源专家，经营10家国内和2家海外沼气厂。公司预计2020年沼气产量为1.7亿立方米。

该公司首席执行官OleHvelplund表示：“这项协议是生物甲烷的商业突破。该协议也使我们有更多的力量来实现新的生物甲烷项目。我们希望在丹麦、北美和欧洲其他地区建造几座大型生物甲烷工厂，而与壳牌达成协议对自然能源和能源转型都是至关重要的一步。”

Nature Energy称这是同类交易中最大的一笔，然而，有关资金或数量的协议条款并未披露。壳牌表示，通过该协议提供的生物甲烷将支持其向欧洲消费者提供低碳能源。

Shell signs biomethane deal with Nature Energy

Shell Energy Europe has entered into a new agreement to acquire biomethane gas from Nature Energy, Kallanish Energy reports.

Under the agreement, announced on Wednesday, Nature Gas will supply biomethane gas to Shell Energy Europe as part of its strategy to reduce emissions and transition to cleaner energy.

Nature Energy is a biogas and clear energy specialist based in Odense, Denmark, and operates 10 domestic and 2 overseas biogas plants. The company has a forecasted output of 170 million cubic meters of biogas during 2020.

“This agreement is a commercial breakthrough for biomethane. The size of the agreement also gives us more strength to realize new biomethane projects,” said Ole Hvelplund, CEO of Nature Energy. “We have ambitions to build several large-scale biomethane plants in Denmark, North America and other parts of Europe, and the agreement with Shell is a crucial step for both Nature Energy and the energy transition.”

Nature Energy claims the deal is the largest of its kind; however, terms of the agreement relating to finances or volumes were not disclosed.

Shell stated that supply of biomethane through the agreement will support its efforts to provide lower-carbon energy to its European consumers.
