中国石化新闻网讯 据1月28日Offshore Energy报道，总部位于休斯顿的石油和天然气公司马拉松石油公司(Marathon oil)在2020年减少了温室气体(GHG)排放强度。 马拉松石油在一份声明中表示，减少温室气体排放是公司将环境影响降至最低、应对气候变化风险和实现强劲长期财务业绩的战略目标的核心。 2020年马拉松公司温室气体排放强度较2019年相比减少了20%，并在2020年第四季度将气体捕获总量提高到98.5%左右。 2021年，该公司制定了一个量化的温室气体强度目标，即相对于2019年将减少30%以上，该目标已被添加到马拉松高管薪酬计分卡中。此外，马拉松公布了新的中期目标，承诺将致力于“显著改善环境绩效”。 该公司的目标是到2025年将温室气体排放强度较2019年降低50%以上。马拉松已经确定了具体的步骤来帮助实现这一目标，包括继续用低排放技术替换气动控制器，将更多的站点连接到公用事业电力，还投资土壤碳封存技术以抵消排放。 马拉松石油公司总裁、首席执行官兼董事长Lee Tillman表示:“要向所有利益相关者给出一个更好的结果，我们认为能源公司必须提供相对于具有竞争力的财务业绩，同时推动ESG绩效所有要素的改善。我们将宣布一个雄心勃勃的目标，在2020年建立的良好基础上，到2025年显著降低温室气体排放强度。我们相信，石油和天然气将是向低碳未来转型的重要贡献者，石油行业必须应对双重挑战，既要满足世界日益增长的能源需求，又要应对气候变化的风险。” 王佳晶 摘译自 Offshore Energy 原文如下： Marathon Oil sets new greenhouse gas emissions target Houston-based oil and gas company Marathon Oil has been able to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity in 2020 when compared to the previous year. Marathon said a statement on Wednesday that the reduction of GHG emissions was “central to [the company’s] strategic goals of minimizing its environmental impact, addressing the risks of climate change, and delivering strong long-term financial performance”. During 2020, Marathon achieved an estimated 20 per cent reduction to its GHG emissions intensity relative to 2019 and improving total company gas capture to approximately 98.5 pre cent for fourth quarter 2020. For 2021, the company established a quantitative GHG intensity target, representing a reduction of more than 30 per cent relative to 2019, which has been added to Marathon’s executive compensation scorecard. Further, Marathon disclosed a new medium-term goal highlighting the company’s commitment to “significant ongoing improvement to its environmental performance”. By 2025, the company’s goal is to reduce its GHG intensity by more than 50 per cent relative to 2019. Marathon has already identified concrete steps to assist in achieving this improvement including continued replacement of pneumatic controllers with lower-emitting technology, connecting additional sites to utility power, and investing in soil carbon sequestration to offset emissions. President, CEO and chairman of Marathon Oil Lee Tillman said: “To realize improved outcomes for all stakeholders, we believe energy companies must deliver competitive financial results while simultaneously driving meaningful improvement to all elements of ESG performance. “We are announcing an ambitious goal to meaningfully reduce our GHG emissions intensity by 2025, building on the momentum we established in 2020. “We believe oil and gas will be an essential contributor to the transition to a lower-carbon future and it is imperative that the company and our industry address the dual challenge of meeting the world’s growing energy demand while also responding to the risk of climate change“. In recent company news, Marathon Oil announced earlier this month that it appointed a new member of its board of directors. Namely, it elected Brent Smolik to the company’s board of directors effective 11 January 2021. |
