据离岸工程网站10月5日消息 西班牙雷普索尔将其2030年可再生能源发电能力目标提高了60%,并就其石油和天然气业务的减排做出了新的承诺,这是一家能源集团限制其在气候变化中的作用的最新尝试。

碳排放的压力,欧洲石油和天然气公司制定了各种目标,以建设更多的可再生能源产能,提高能源效率。
雷普索尔表示,该公司目前计划在2030年之前安装风能、太阳能和水力发电厂,总容量为20吉瓦,高于此前的12.7吉瓦的目标。

价格也攀升到多年来的最高点,这给了雷普索尔等公司将部分收益投入低碳战略的机会。
首席执行官乔苏·乔恩·伊玛兹在向投资者介绍时表示:“能源转型对我们来说是一个商机。”
该公司首次设定了其定义为绝对排放量的减排目标。该公司的目标是到2030年将其自有设施的排放量减少55%,并将其从地下生产的所有产品(包括客户使用的产品)的净排放量减少30%。
在更新其投资计划时,该公司表示,预计到2025年将花费193亿欧元(224亿美元),其中35%将用于低碳业务。
今年早些时候,雷普索尔收购了美国最大的私营太阳能发电厂开发商和运营商之一40%的股份,并将西班牙的两座太阳能发电厂接入电网。
雷普索尔表示,公司正在考虑剥离低碳业务,并将股份出售给私人合作伙伴或在公共股票市场上出售。

Repsol Increases Low-carbon Targets to Accelerate Energy Transition
Spain's Repsol has hiked its 2030 capacity target for renewable energy generation by 60% and made a new pledge on cutting emissions from its oil and gas business, in the latest attempt by an energy group to limit its role in climate change.
Facing pressure from investors, banks and governments to cut carbon emissions in line with the 2015 Paris accords, European oil and gas companies have set various targets to build more renewable capacity and increase energy efficiency.
Repsol said it now plans to have installed wind, solar and hydro plants with a combined capacity of 20 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, up from its previous target of 12.7 GW.
The Brent crude oil price has rebounded 60% this year and U.S. natural gas prices are climbing to multi-year highs, giving companies like Repsol the chance to plow some of the gains into their low-carbon strategies.
"The energy transition constitutes a business opportunity for us," Chief Executive Josu Jon Imaz said during a presentation to investors.
The company set its first-ever reduction target for what it defines as absolute emissions. It is aiming for a cut of 55% from its own facilities by 2030 and to shrink by 30% net emissions from all products it brings out of the ground, including those used by customers.
In an update to its investment plans, the company said it expected to spend 19.3 billion euros ($22.4 billion) by 2025, 35% of which would go to its low-carbon business.
Earlier this year, Repsol bought a 40% stake in one of the largest privately-owned developers and operators of solar plants in the United States, and linked up two solar plants to the grid in Spain.
Repsol has said it is considering spinning off the low-carbon business and selling a stake to a private partner or on public stock markets.
