国际石油公司致力于帮助推动能源转型

据天然气新闻2020年9月7日伦敦报道，高级行业官员9月7日表示，全球石油和天然气巨头正致力于帮助推动能源转型，特别是天然气在帮助实现气候变化目标方面发挥关键作用。

法国道达尔公司和美国埃克森美孚公司的高管在天然气技术（Gastech）虚拟峰会上表示，国际石油公司的雄厚财力和先进技术将有助于开发新的清洁能源项目，并确保未来的天然气供应。

道达尔公司在更多关注清洁能源方面一直是欧洲的领先者之一。道达尔公司负责天然气的高级副总裁劳伦特·维维耶说，“国际石油公司正在越来越多地将可再生能源纳入他们的业务，石油巨头拥有一些特定的优势，可以用来帮助推动能源转型。”

维维耶说：“(总的来说)我们有资本实力，有稳健的资产负债表，这使我们能够降低成本，这对产品具有竞争力很重要。”

维维耶表示，“道达尔公司在风险管理方面也有经验，可以在开发海上风能等新的可再生能源项目时充分利用这些经验。”

埃克森美孚公司负责国际天然气业务的副总裁亚历克斯?沃尔科夫在发言中同意国际石油公司有很多可做的事情，他也提到了国际石油公司具有强大的资产负债表和技术能力。

沃尔科夫说：“能源转型不是100%的风能和太阳能——这是一个极其复杂的问题和过程。”

他指出，在货车运输、海上运输和航空旅行等领域，风能和太阳能无法提供解决方案，而先进的生物燃料可以发挥作用。

IOCs committed to helping drive energy transition; gas has key role

Oil and gas majors are committed to helping drive the energy transition, with gas in particular set to play a critical role in helping to meet climate change goals, senior industry officials said Sept. 7.

Speaking at the Gastech Virtual Summit, executives from France's Total and the US' ExxonMobil said the financial strength and technological capabilities of IOCs would help in both developing new clean energy projects and ensuring future gas supply.

Total has been one of the front-runners in Europe in terms of focusing more on cleaner energies.

The company's senior vice president for gas, Laurent Vivier, said IOCs are increasingly incorporating renewables in their activities, and that majors had a number of certain advantages that can be used to help drive the energy transition.

"[At Total] we have a capital might, a solid balance sheet, which allows us to lower the cost, which is important for products to be competitive," Vivier said.

Vivier said Total also had experience in managing risk, which it can put to good use in the development of new renewable projects such as offshore wind.

ExxonMobil's Vice President, International Gas, Alex Volkov, agreed that IOCs have a lot to offer, also citing their strong balance sheets and technical capabilities.

"The energy transition is not 100% wind and solar -- it is a complex problem and process," he said.

He pointed to areas such as trucking, marine transport and air travel where wind and solar cannot provide solutions, with advanced biofuels able to play a role instead.
