據(jù)油氣新聞網(wǎng)站7月29日消息 在簽署一項重大協(xié)議后，沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司在西班牙卡塔赫納的聚碳酸酯工廠將成為全球首個完全依靠可再生能源運(yùn)營的大型化工生產(chǎn)基地。

該協(xié)議將使世界最大的電力公用事業(yè)公司之一的伊貝德羅拉公司投資近7000萬歐元（8200萬美元），在沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司所有的土地上建造一座100兆瓦太陽能光伏發(fā)電廠，擁有26.3萬塊電池板，使其成為歐洲最大的工業(yè)可再生能源發(fā)電廠。該工廠預(yù)計將于2024年全面投產(chǎn)。

這項為期25年的協(xié)議是沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司向清潔能源轉(zhuǎn)型的又一里程碑。沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司的目標(biāo)是到2025年全球風(fēng)電或太陽能裝機(jī)容量達(dá)到4吉瓦，到2030年達(dá)到12吉瓦。2019年，沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司在印度和泰國的場地安裝了太陽能電池板，有助于減少200噸溫室氣體排放，沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司位于沙特阿拉伯利雅得的創(chuàng)新之家自2015年起就已完全采用太陽能發(fā)電。

沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司可持續(xù)發(fā)展、技術(shù)與創(chuàng)新副總裁兼首席技術(shù)官兼首席執(zhí)行官鮑勃·毛恩表示：“與伊貝德羅拉達(dá)成的這一突破性協(xié)議是朝著實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的長期可持續(xù)性和清潔能源目標(biāo)邁出的重要一步。這種合作關(guān)系是我們業(yè)務(wù)增長模式的基石?？ㄋ占{的太陽能光伏發(fā)電廠表明，沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司繼續(xù)推動化學(xué)工業(yè)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展議程，并且有可能實(shí)現(xiàn)如此大規(guī)模的轉(zhuǎn)型。”

“近年來，可再生能源技術(shù)的許多突破使這種規(guī)模的部署成為可能。我們對技術(shù)和創(chuàng)新的承諾意味著我們將永遠(yuǎn)是早期采用者，而我們現(xiàn)在正處于進(jìn)行這一變革的最佳位置。新的光伏發(fā)電廠將每年減少8萬噸的間接二氧化碳排放量，并進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)我們對歐盟2030年等更廣泛的氣候變化倡議的支持和貢獻(xiàn)，以及我們與聯(lián)合國可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)的一致性?！?/span>

一旦太陽能發(fā)電廠投產(chǎn)，沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司的客戶，包括汽車和建筑行業(yè)的客戶，將能夠獲得100%可再生能源生產(chǎn)的聚碳酸酯解決方案，進(jìn)一步滿足客戶和消費(fèi)者在日益碳中和的世界中對更可持續(xù)解決方案的需求。

伊貝德羅拉公司客戶全球總監(jiān)I?igo Alonso解釋說：“這些伙伴關(guān)系提高了可再生能源的競爭力，并繼續(xù)為發(fā)展創(chuàng)新項目創(chuàng)造機(jī)會，這些項目正在改變能源的當(dāng)前和未來。長期能源采購合同為投資提供了穩(wěn)定性，已成為管理主要消費(fèi)者電力供應(yīng)的最佳工具，致力于清潔和可持續(xù)能源?！?/span>

Sabic plant world first to run on 100pc renewable power

Sabic’s polycarbonate facility in Cartagena, Spain, is set to become the world’s first large-scale chemical production site to be run entirely on renewable power, following the signing of a major agreement.

The deal will see Iberdrola, one of the world’s biggest electricity utility companies, invest almost €70 million ($82 million) to construct a 100-MW solar PV facility with 263,000 panels, on land owned by Sabic, making it the largest industrial renewable power plant in Europe. The plant is expected to be fully operational in 2024.

The 25-year deal represents another milestone in Sabic’s journey to transition all its global operations to cleaner energy. Sabic’s ambition is to have 4 GW of either wind or solar energy installed for its sites globally by 2025, rising to 12 GW by 2030. In 2019, solar panels were installed at Sabic sites in India and Thailand, helping reduce greenhouse emissions by 200 tons, and Sabic’s Home of Innovation in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has been completely solar-powered since 2015.

Bob Maughon, EVP Sustainability, Technology and Innovation and CTO and CSO at Sabic, said: “This ground-breaking deal with Iberdrola is a significant step towards achieving our long-term sustainability and clean energy targets. Partnerships of this kind are the cornerstone of our business growth model. The solar PV powered plant in Cartagena demonstrates that Sabic continues to drive the sustainability agenda in the chemicals industry and that a transition on such a large scale is possible.

“In recent years, the many breakthroughs in renewable energy technology have made deployment at this kind of scale possible. Our commitment to technology and innovation means we will always be early adopters, and we are optimally positioned to undertake this transformation right now. The new PV plant will deliver an 80 kt annual reduction in indirect CO2 emissions, and furthers strengthens our support and contribution to wider climate change initiatives like EU 2030 and our alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.”

Once the solar plant comes on line, Sabic’s customers, including those in the automotive and construction sectors, will have access to polycarbonate solutions produced with 100% renewable power, further responding to customer and consumer demands for more sustainable solutions in an increasingly carbon-neutral world.

"These partnerships enhance the competitiveness of renewables and continue to create opportunities for the development of innovative projects that are transforming the present and the future of energy. The long-term energy purchase contracts provide stability to investments and have become an optimal tool for managing the electricity supply of major consumers, committed to clean and sustainable energy sources", explained I?igo Alonso, Corporate Customer Global Director of Iberdrola.
