據安迅思3月30日消息稱，為了實現到2050年實現氣候中立和零排放的宏偉目標，全球石化巨頭巴斯夫大幅提高了2030年中期溫室氣體減排目標：與2018年相比，該公司現在希望在全球范圍內減少25%的溫室氣體排放——盡管有目標增長，并在亞洲建設了一個大型工廠，但仍要實現這一目標。

如果不考慮計劃增長的影響，這意味著到本十年末，當前行業的二氧化碳排放量將減少一半。總體而言，巴斯夫計劃到2025年投資10億歐元，以實現新的氣候目標，到2030年再投資20億至30億歐元。因此，巴斯夫將投資40億歐元(47億美元)，到2030年將溫室氣體(GHG)排放量比2018年減少25%。

2018年，巴斯夫集團的全球排放量為2190萬噸二氧化碳當量。1990年，這個數字大約是現在的兩倍。新的2030年減排目標是在1990年的基礎上減排約60%，超過歐盟的減排目標- 55%。

巴斯夫公司執行董事會主席Dr. Martin Brudermuller表示：“新的氣候目標強調了我們的決心和巴斯夫對巴黎氣候協議的承諾。氣候變化是21世紀最大的挑戰。作為回應，我們必須調整我們的流程和產品組合。我們現在需要加快這一轉變。我們首先必須集中注意這一旅程的最初步驟，而不是最后步驟。因此，巴斯夫將增加對可再生能源的使用。而且，我們將加快開發和部署用于生產化學品的新型無二氧化碳工藝。”

到2050年實現二氧化碳凈零排放的長期轉型的核心是新技術的使用，新技術將用可再生能源發電取代天然氣等化石燃料。這些技術大多是巴斯夫與合作伙伴合作開發的，目前正處于試驗階段。這些技術的大規模推廣只有在2030年之后才能完全實現。為了加快在此日期之前避免二氧化碳排放，巴斯夫還將繼續系統地對現有生產工廠實施持續改進流程。此外，巴斯夫將逐步轉向可再生能源，以滿足其電力需求，并打算投資風力發電廠，以促進這一需求。

BASF to invest up to USD4.7 bln to cut emissions 25% by 2030

In pursue of more ambitious goals on its journey to climate neutrality and net zero emissions by 2050, BASF, the world's petrochemical major, is also significantly raising its medium-term 2030 target for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions: the company now wants to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by 25% compared with 2018 – and to achieve this despite targeted growth and the construction of a large Verbund site in Asia.

Excluding the effects of the planned growth, this means cutting CO2 emissions in half in the current business by the end of this decade. Overall, BASF plans to invest up to EUR1 billion by 2025 to reach its new climate target and a further EUR2 billion to EUR3 billion by 2030. Thus, BASF will invest up to EUR4.0 billion (US4.7 billion) to cut its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 25% by 2030 compared with 2018.

In 2018, BASF Group’s worldwide emissions amounted to 21.9 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents. In 1990, this figure was roughly twice as high. The new 2030 emissions goal represents a reduction of approximately 60% compared to 1990 levels, which exceeds the European Union’s target of minus 55%.

“The new climate goals underscore our determination and BASF’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement. Climate change is the greatest challenge of the 21st century. In response, we must adapt our processes and our product portfolio. We need to accelerate this transformation now. We must first concentrate on the initial steps of this journey, not the final ones. That is why BASF will increase its use of renewable energies. And we will accelerate the development and deployment of new CO2-free processes for the production of chemicals.” said Dr. Martin Brudermuller, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF SE.

At the heart of the long-term transition toward net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 is the use of new technologies, which will replace fossil fuels such as natural gas with electricity from renewable sources. Most of these technologies are being pioneered by BASF in collaboration with partners and are currently in a pilot stage. Broad scaleup of these technologies will only be fully realizable after 2030. In order to accelerate the avoidance of CO2 emissions prior to that date, BASF also continues to systematically implement continuous improvement processes for existing production plants. In addition, BASF will progressively switch to renewable sources to meet its electricity needs and intends to invest in wind parks to facilitate this.?
