據世界天然氣網7月2日消息 吉寶數據中心、雪佛龍、泛美集團和盛裕在新加坡國家研究基金會的支持下，簽署了一份諒解備忘錄（MOU），共同開發新加坡首個點對點脫碳工藝和碳捕集系統。

吉寶公司周四表示，此次合作旨在加快發展節能型碳捕獲、利用和封存（CCUS）系統，從而為新加坡帶來低碳經濟和潛在的商業發展。

碳排放量占新加坡溫室氣體排放總量的97%。根據《巴黎協定》，新加坡承諾到2030年將其排放強度從2005年的水平降低36%。

此外，新加坡政府還宣布了其長期戰略，即在2030年峰值的基礎上將排放量減半，并在本世紀后半葉盡快實現凈零排放。

為此，合作伙伴將開發CCUS技術，并將其應用于新加坡的關鍵行業，如能源、化工和建筑。

根據諒解備忘錄，這四家公司將共同探索、確定和開發成熟的碳捕獲技術，并結合使用冷凍劑、薄膜和氫氣的新技術。

在商業上可行的情況下，預計CCUS技術將有助于降低整個行業的碳排放強度，并幫助新加坡在2050年之前將二氧化碳排放量從峰值減少一半，至3300萬噸。

Companies team up to develop Singapore’s first carbon capture system

Keppel Data Centres, Chevron, Pan-United, and Surbana Jurong, with the support of Singapore’s National Research Foundation, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly develop the first end-to-end decarbonisation process and carbon capture system in Singapore.

Keppel said on Thursday that this collaboration was aimed at accelerating the development of energy-efficient carbon capture, utilisation, and sequestration (CCUS) system that can lead to a low-carbon economy and potential commercial developments for Singapore.

Carbon emissions make up 97 per cent of Singapore’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Paris Agreement, Singapore has pledged to reduce its emissions intensity by 36 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030.

Also, the Singapore Government announced its long-term strategy to halve emissions from its 2030 peak and achieve net-zero emissions as soon as viable in the second half of the century.

To this end, the partnership will develop CCUS technologies which will be implemented in Singapore’s key industries such as energy, chemicals, and construction.

Under the MOU, the four companies will jointly explore, identify, and develop mature carbon capture technologies, coupled with novel technologies that utilise cryogens, membranes, and hydrogen.

When commercially viable, the CCUS technologies are expected to help reduce carbon intensity across the industry sectors and help Singapore halve emissions from its peak to 33 million tonnes of CO2 emissions (MtCO2e) by 2050.
