據烴加工網站6月26日消息 挪威兩個政府機構表示，通過為大型工業工廠和海上油氣平臺提供更多的可再生電力，可以每年減少400萬噸二氧化碳排放。

雖然挪威是主要的石油生產國，但其也簽署了《巴黎氣候變化協定》，今年早些時候承諾到2030年將國內溫室氣體排放量減少一半。

石油工業監管機構NPD表示，到2020年中期，挪威一半的石油和天然氣產量可能來自接收陸地可再生能源的平臺，而不是柴油或天然氣發電機組。

挪威石油和能源部長蒂娜·布魯在新聞發布會上說：“挪威有很大的可能實現更多的電氣化，但這也意味著我們必須在今后的時間里對挪威的電力供應進行更多的投資。”

挪威石油產量占全球的2%，是歐洲第二大天然氣供應國。然而，溫室氣體承諾只包括國內排放，而不包括從本國領土開采并被其他國家使用的礦物燃料的排放量。

特羅爾、奧斯伯格和其他油氣田的海上平臺可以通過海底電纜與大陸電網連接起來，這是近年來幾個新開發項目的情況，最著名的是巨型Johan-Sverdrup油田。

挪威幾乎所有的電力都來自水電站大壩和風電場。

NPD表示，海洋石油工業正在開發的項目可以減少170萬噸的二氧化碳排放量，而7個陸上工廠可以減少230萬噸。

報告顯示，Equinor的Mongstad煉油廠、Hammerfest液化天然氣工廠和Kaarstoe石油加工和出口終端等設施可能會增加可再生能源的使用。

Norway wants more renewable power for oil platforms, major industry

Norway could cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 4 million tons per year, or nearly 8% of the total, by providing more renewable electricity for major industrial plants and offshore oil and gas platforms, two government agencies said.

While Norway is a major producer of petroleum, it has also signed up to the Paris Agreement on climate change, pledging earlier this year to cut its domestic emissions of greenhouse gases in half by 2030.

By the mid-2020s, half of all oil and gas output in Norway could come from platforms receiving renewable power from land, rather than from generators run on diesel or natural gas, petroleum industry regulator NPD said.

“There are significant possibilities for more electrification in Norway, but it also means we must invest more in Norway’s power supply in the time ahead,” Minister of Petroleum and Energy Tina Bru told a news conference.

Norway produces 2% of global oil and is Europe’s second biggest supplier of natural gas. Its greenhouse gas commitments cover only domestic emissions, however, and not those from fossil fuels extracted from its territory and used by others.

Offshore platforms at the Troll, Oseberg and other oil and gas fields could be hooked up via subsea cables to the mainland grid, as has been the case in recent years for several new developments, most notably the giant Johan Sverdrup field.

Norway produces nearly all of its electricity from hydropower dams and wind farms.

Projects being developed by the offshore oil industry could cut CO2 emissions from operations by 1.7 million tons, the NPD said, while seven land-based plants could cut them by 2.3 million tons, the Water Resources and Energy Directorate said.

Equinor’s Mongstad oil refinery, the Hammerfest liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant and the Kaarstoe petroleum processing and export terminal are among the facilities which could increase the use of renewable power, the reports showed.
