加拿大将推动清洁液化天然气技术

据管道油气新闻网9月7日消息：在加斯特虚拟峰会开幕式上的部长级主题演讲中，加拿大自然资源部长谢默斯·奥里根谈到了加拿大如何关注清洁液化天然气技术。

“我们理解对世界的责任。并承诺要超过2030年的气候目标，然后在2050年达到净零排放。因此，我们正在利用所有这些资产来建设世界上最清洁的石油部门。”

他补充称:“加拿大石油部门是我们国家在清洁技术领域的最大投资。通常，占私营部门研发投入的70％以上，每年超过10亿美元。这包括对天然气电气化和减少甲烷排放进行的大量投资。并利用多样化的能源资产来拓展新的机遇，例如氢气，碳捕获和可再生天然气。”

耗资400亿美元的加拿大液化天然气项目将排放的温室气体排放量是全球类似设施的一半。其他加拿大液化天然气项目计划进一步提高环境绩效，例如拟议中的木质纤维设施，该设施将完全实现电动化，并将排放量削减90%。

奥里根在结束他的部长级主题演讲时说:“我们要想从深度的疫情影响中恢复经济，必须在继续创新的同时做到与原住民合作。以加拿大作为吸引投资者的目的为基础，朝着净零的方向努力。"

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”
