???? 據能源新聞2月9日消息稱,殼牌和日本三菱公司旗下的可再生能源公司Eneco周一表示,將為亞馬遜公司的歐洲設施提供海上風力發電場的電力。
????零售巨頭亞馬遜在其碳足跡問題上面臨著環保活動人士的壓力,該公司已承諾到2040年實現凈碳中和。兩家能源公司表示,從2024年開始,它將從殼牌和Eneco聯合建造的Hollandske Kust Noord海上風電場中承購380兆瓦的電量,但沒有披露財務細節。
????殼牌在另一份聲明中表示,根據協議,Eneco將提供130兆瓦,殼牌提供250兆瓦。亞馬遜沒有立即發表評論。
????Eneco表示,位于荷蘭海岸的Hollandse Kust Noord將擁有759兆瓦的總產能,計劃于2023年投入運營,屆時每年將至少產生3.3太瓦時(TWh)。
????三菱與日本公用事業中部電力公司去年以41億歐元(合49億美元)收購了荷蘭能源公司Eneco。
????日本貿易公司以及殼牌(Shell)等全球油氣巨頭都越來越關注清潔能源,因為它們加入了全球從煤炭和其他化石燃料轉向清潔能源的行列。
????亞馬遜每年交付約100億件商品,并且在運輸和數據中心擁有龐大的業務量,但它面臨著來自環保主義者的抗議以及其員工要求其對氣候變化采取行動的壓力。

????Shell, Mitsubishi unit Eneco to supply wind power to Amazon's facilities
????Royal Dutch Shell and renewables firm Eneco, owned by Japan's Mitsubishi Corp , will provide Amazon.com Inc's European facilities with electricity from an offshore wind farm, they said on Monday.
????Retail giant Amazon, which faces pressure from environmental activists over its carbon footprint, has vowed to be net carbon neutral by 2040. Starting in 2024, it will off-take 380 megawatts (MW) of capacity from the Hollandske Kust Noord offshore wind farm, which is being built jointly by Shell and Eneco, the two energy firms said without disclosing financial details.
????Eneco will provide 130 MW and Shell 250 MW under the deal, Shell said in a separate statement. Amazon was not immediately available for comment.
????Hollandse Kust Noord, located off the Dutch coast, will have a total capacity of 759 MW and is scheduled to become operational in 2023, when it will generate at least 3.3 terawatt hours (TWh) per year, Eneco said.
????Mitsubishi, along with Japanese utility Chubu Electric Power Co Inc, bought Eneco last year in a deal valuing the Dutch energy firm at 4.1 billion euros ($4.9 billion).
????Japanese trading houses as well as global oil and gas majors such as Shell, are increasingly focusing on cleaner energy as they join a global shift away from coal and other fossil fuels.
????Amazon, which delivers about 10 billion items a year and has a massive transport and data centre footprint, has faced protests from environmental activists and pressure from its employees to take action on climate change.
