據離岸工程8月7日報道，英國油氣管理局(OGA)表示，海上能源與清潔能源技術的結合將為英國到2050年實現凈零目標貢獻30%的減排份額。

根據OGA發布的一份報告，這主要可以通過作為氫生產的一部分的碳捕獲和儲存(CCS)來實現。

該報告是與英國能源監管機構Ofgem，皇冠地產（the Crown Estate）以及英國政府商業，能源與工業戰略部合作制作的，該報告強調指出，緊密的整合不僅對減少排放和能源生產具有重要意義，而且還將有助于 新興技術變得更具“經濟吸引力”。

OGA首席執行官安迪·塞繆爾表示，英國大陸架有潛力對英國的整體凈零目標產生深遠而有意義的影響，海上能源整合也將成為決定因素。通過密切協調我們的能源系統，安全的能源供應可以繼續從多元化的生產組合中提供，同時釋放更多綠色能源和碳捕獲所需的幫助英國實現凈零排放。

OGA還指出，目前在英國大陸架(UKCS)已經有超過30個能源整合項目正在進行中，其中超過10個項目由OGA積極參與研究。

英國能源和清潔發展部長Kwasi Kwarteng表示，很高興看到這份報告為凈零排放設定了明確的道路，并強調了海上能源部門有能力幫助實現大幅碳減排。分享石油和天然氣行業現有的專門知識和基礎設施將是我們杰出的可再生能源部門發展的組成部分，有助于我們履行氣候變化承諾。

去年3月，OGA從監管機構Better Regulation Executive的先鋒基金(Pioneer Fund)獲得了110萬美元撥款，啟動了一個項目，該項目將探索更加一體化的海上能源行業的潛力。

Integration of offshore energy systems can deliver UK’s net-zero target

UK regulator Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) has said that the integration of offshore energy with clean energy technologies could contribute to 30% of the UK’s net-zero targets by the year 2050.

According to a report published by OGA, this can be primarily achieved through carbon capture and storage (CCS) as part of hydrogen production.

Produced in collaboration with UK energy regulator Ofgem, the Crown Estate, and the UK’s governmental Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the report highlighted that the close integration would not only be valuable for reducing emissions and energy production, but would also help the emerging technologies become more ‘economically attractive’.

OGA chief executive Andy Samuel said: “The UK Continental Shelf has the potential to make a deep and meaningful impact on the UK’s overall net-zero target and offshore energy integration can be the game-changer.

“By closely co-ordinating our energy systems a secure energy supply can continue to be delivered from a diverse mix of production, while unlocking more and more of the green energy and carbon capture needed to help take the UK to net-zero.”

OGA also noted that there are already over 30 energy integration projects currently underway across the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), with more than ten of these actively engaged by the OGA for the study.

UK Energy and Clean Growth Minister Kwasi Kwarteng said: “It is great to see this report set out a clear path towards net-zero, highlighting that the offshore energy sector has the capacity to help deliver huge carbon reductions.

“Sharing existing expertise and infrastructure from the oil and gas industry will be integral in the development of our outstanding renewable energy sector, helping us meet our climate change commitments.”

In March last year, OGA secured a $1.1m grant from the Better Regulation Executive’s Regulator’s Pioneer Fund to begin a project that will explore the potential of a more integrated offshore energy sector.
