據6月8日Offshore Energy消息：法國能源巨頭道達爾加入了“零碳聯盟”，以支持海運業的脫碳計劃。該公司打算通過與海洋、能源、基礎設施和金融領域的公司合作來實現這一目標。

“零碳聯盟”的宗旨是幫助實現國際海事組織設定的目標，即到2050年航運業的溫室氣體排放與2008年的水平相比至少減少50%。

在這方面，聯盟的目標是通過其成員，讓以零排放燃料為動力的深海零排放船舶在2030年之前投入運營。

“作為主要的能源供應商，道達爾已經在為海運業開發清潔燃料。”道達爾總裁兼首席執行官帕特里克·普揚內說。“我們致力于到2050年將全球運營與社會一起實現零排放。通過加入零碳聯盟，希望推動創新以促進與該行業所有利益相關者的集體行動，從而更有效地為減少海洋運輸及其能源價值鏈的碳足跡做出貢獻。”

道達爾已經在通過開發海洋液化天然氣供應基礎設施、節能潤滑油、生物燃料和電池，積極致力于改善航運業的環境足跡。

聲明強調，該公司最近宣布將長期租賃兩艘液化天然氣推進的巨型油輪。

Total joins shipping decarbonization movement

French energy major Total has joined the ‘Getting to Zero Coalition’ to support the maritime industry’s decarbonisation.

The company intends to contribute to the goal by collaborating with companies across the maritime, energy, infrastructure and finance sectors.

The Getting to Zero Coalition’s ambition is to help achieve the target set by the International Maritime Organisation to reduce Greenhouse Gases emissions from shipping by at least 50% by 2050 – compared to 2008 levels.

To that extent, the coalition is aiming, through its members, at getting commercially viable deep-sea zero-emission vessels powered by zero-emission fuels into operation by 2030.

“As a major energy player, Total is already developing cleaner fuels for the maritime industry.” Total’s president and CEO Patrick Pouyanné, said.

“We share the ambition to get to net-zero emissions by 2050, together with society, for our global operations. By joining the Getting to Zero Coalition, we want to push innovation and foster collective actions with all the stakeholders of the industry, thus contributing more efficiently to the reduction of the carbon footprint of maritime transport and its energy value chains”, he said.

Total is already actively working on improving the environmental footprint of the shipping industry, through the development of marine LNG supply infrastructure, fuel-efficient lubricants, biofuels and batteries.

It has also recently announced the long term chartering of 2 LNG-propelled VLCCs, the company stressed in its statement.
