中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网8月1日报道,德国能源巨头Uniper于去年获得政府补助,8月2日承诺将在2030年前投资超过88亿美元(80亿欧元)用于绿色能源,以更快地成为一个绿色能源供应商,这一计划提前了。
为了防止德国能源和燃气供应商崩溃,德国在2022年9月将Uniper国有化。
今年上半年,Uniper表示获得了“上半年非常强劲的收益”,这在很大程度上得益于对化石燃料发电和中游天然气业务的套期保值交易。今年以来天然气价格大大降低,有利的市场环境也帮助该能源公司获得了强劲的收益。
这家能源巨头表示,“Uniper将会比之前计划的更快地转变成一个绿色公司”,并计划到2030年时,80%的装机容量将为零碳排放,并且太阳能和风能将大幅增长。
到2030年,Uniper将对绿色转型投资80亿欧元,是之前三年平均年投资的三倍。
Uniper还提前了到2040年想要达到碳中和的目标,将比之前计划提前十年实现。
“我们极大地实现了天然气采购多元化,”首席执行官Michael Lewis在声明中表示,“因此我可以确信,对我们来说2022年将不会重演。我们财务稳健恢复和未来走向将再次为我们带来发展和企业转型的空间。”
Uniper的高管表示,“我们还希望更快地变得更环保,以便为我们的客户提供量身定制的能源解决方案,以推动他们自身的转型”。

Germany’s Uniper To Invest $8.8 Billion In Green Energy By 2030
German energy giant Uniper, which was bailed out by the government last year, pledged on Tuesday to invest more than $8.8 billion (8 billion euros) in green energy by 2030 as it looks to become a greener energy provider faster than previously planned.
Last year, Germany moved to save its energy companies which had been amassing losses with the lack of contracted Russian gas supply and the high price they had to pay on the spot market to replace lost Russian volumes.
Germany nationalized Uniper in September 2022 as it was looking to prevent a collapse of the German energy and gas suppliers.
In the first half of this year, Uniper booked “extraordinarily strong first-half earnings,” the company said today, benefitting to a great extent from hedging transactions for fossil-fueled power generation and its midstream gas business. Strong operating performance in a favorable market environment – with natural gas prices much lower this year – also helped the energy firm book strong earnings.
“Uniper will be transformed into a greener company much faster than previously planned,” the energy giant said, adding that it plans 80% of its installed generating capacity to be zero-carbon by 2030, with significant growth in solar and wind.
The 8-billion-euro investment in Uniper’s green transformation through 2030 would be triple its average annual investments of the past three years.
Uniper also brought forward its target for its Scope 1 to 3 emissions to be carbon-neutral by 2040, ten years earlier than previously planned. It plans to achieve group-wide carbon neutrality for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035.
“We’ve significantly diversified our gas procurement,” CEO Michael Lewis said in statement, adding that “Today I can therefore say with certainty that 2022 will not repeat itself for us. Our successful stabilization and financial recovery have again given us latitude for new growth and corporate transformation.”
“We also want to become greener faster so that we can offer our customers bespoke energy solutions for their own transformation,” Uniper’s top executive noted.
