據能源之聲網站8月5日報道 一份新報告稱，英國大陸架（UKCS）在幫助各政府在未來幾十年實現凈零排放目標方面發揮著重要作用。

石油和天然氣管理局（OGA）表示，將石油和天然氣生產與可再生能源、碳捕獲與儲存（CCS）和氫能結合起來，可以占到2050年所需減排量的30%。

該監管機構還表示，海上風、浪和潮汐項目可能為英國凈零排放目標再貢獻30%。

這意味著，在陸上基礎設施投資的支持下，UKCS的活動可能有助于實現五分之三的國家脫碳需求。

英國和蘇格蘭政府建立了一個具有法律約束力的目標，分別在2050年和2045年前將排放量削減到零排放。

在其報告中，OGA概述了推動英國大陸架脫碳的下一步措施，從加快開創性項目的進展到改善數據可用性、質量和訪問。

OGA首席執行官安迪?塞繆爾表示，這份報告表明，英國大陸架是一種“關鍵的能源資源”。

他說：“一體化有可能產生深刻而有意義的影響，對該國總體凈零目標的貢獻可能達到30%，主要是通過碳捕獲與儲存以及氫能。”

UKCS activities can deliver 60% of country’s decarbonisation targets

The UK continental shelf (UKCS) has a “significant role” to play in helping governments achieve their net zero targets in the coming decades, a new report said.

Integrating oil and gas production with renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen could account for 30% of the emissions reductions needed by 2050, the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) said.

The regulator also said offshore wind, wave and tidal projects could contribute a further 30% towards the UK’s net zero target.

It means UKCS activities, supported by investments in onshore infrastructure, could help deliver three-fifths of national decarbonisation requirements.

The UK and Scottish governments have a legally binding targets to cut emissions to net zero by 2050 and 2045, respectively.

In its report, the OGA outlined its next steps for driving decarbonisation on the UKCS, ranging from accelerating progress on “pioneering projects” to improving “data availability, quality and access”

OGA chief executive Andy Samuel said the report demonstrated that the UKCS is a “critical energy resource”.

He said: “Integration has the potential to make a deep and meaningful impact, with a possible 30% contribution towards the country’s overall net zero target, primarily through CCS, and through CCS plus hydrogen.
