???? 據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)3月31日倫敦報道，全球領(lǐng)先的獨立大宗商品交易公司之一貢沃爾集團（Gunvor Group）周二表示，該公司計劃到2025年將范圍 1和范圍2的絕對排放量削減40%，并成立了一家新的子公司，投資于非碳氫化合物項目。
????這家總部位于日內(nèi)瓦的公司是全球前五大石油貿(mào)易商之一，其目標是在2019年二氧化碳當量總量190萬噸的基礎(chǔ)上，減少直接生產(chǎn)的碳排放以及電力消耗的碳排放。
????該公司表示，新子公司將投資于生物燃料、太陽能和生物質(zhì)能等可再生能源項目，以及氫和氨等替代燃料的商業(yè)化。
????這個名為Nyera的公司，在瑞典語中意為“新時代”(New Era)。該公司將獲得貢沃爾至少10%的凈股本，未來3年的杠桿規(guī)模至少為5億美元。
????貢沃爾首席執(zhí)行官Torbjorn Tornqvist對路透表示，貢沃爾希望邀請合作伙伴進行進一步投資，因此，我們希望這將大大超過我們10%的股權(quán)貢獻。
????能源行業(yè)一直受到來自投資者和政府的巨大壓力，要求它們轉(zhuǎn)向更環(huán)保的能源。
????石油巨頭英國石油(BP)計劃將油氣產(chǎn)量削減40%，并增加在風能和太陽能方面的投資，而荷蘭皇家殼牌(Royal Dutch Shell)正押注于電力交易以及氫和生物燃料市場，以擺脫對石油的依賴。
????貢沃爾和其他貿(mào)易公司正在加大對天然氣的投資，將其作為向更綠色能源組合的過渡燃料，因為天然氣的排放量雖然仍然很高，但低于煤炭和石油。
????Tornqvist表示，我們的觀點是，我們還必須處理碳氫化合物并將其脫碳，主要是天然氣，因為它們在未來的能源結(jié)構(gòu)中仍將占相當大的比例。并補充道，我們擴建最快的領(lǐng)域是液化天然氣、實體天然氣、電力，我們也在加強碳排放交易。

????該公司封存了位于比利時安特衛(wèi)普的煉油廠，但仍在運營另外兩個煉油廠，分別位于德國的因戈爾施塔特和荷蘭的鹿特丹石油中心。這家德國煉油廠將在2023年進行轉(zhuǎn)型，以提高效率和減少排放。
????鹿特丹的兩個原油加工裝置于2020年中期關(guān)閉，以集中處理脫硫問題。這家工廠已經(jīng)開始使用氫氣處理植物油，并正在評估添加一個HVO裝置來生產(chǎn)生物柴油。
????其競爭對手貿(mào)易公司托克(Trafigura)今年1月表示，到2023年，將把范圍1和范圍2的排放量削減30%，并成立一個新的可再生能源和電力部門，以及綠色投資工具。
????Mercuria已與美國私募股權(quán)公司合作，在可再生能源項目上投資多達15億美元，而嘉能可（Glencore）表示，計劃到2050年實現(xiàn)零排放。

????Energy trader Gunvor to cut emissions by 40 per cent, sets up renewables arm
????Energy trader Gunvor Group aims to cut its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 40 per cent in absolute terms by 2025, the company said on Tuesday, and has set up a new subsidiary to invest in non-hydrocarbon projects.
????The Geneva-based firm, which is among the top five global oil traders, aims to cut emissions it produces directly, and those from the electricity it uses, against its 2019 total of 1.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.
????Its new unit will invest in biofuel, renewable power projects such as solar and biomass, and the commercialisation of alternative fuels like hydrogen and ammonia, it said.
????The company, called Nyera, or New Era in Swedish, will be allocated a minimum of 10 per cent of Gunvor's net equity, amounting to at least $500 million with leverage over the next three years, it added.
????Gunvor hopes to invite partners to invest further, Chief Executive Torbjorn Tornqvist told Reuters, "so we hope it will be substantially bigger than our 10 per cent equity contribution".
????The energy sector has come under heavy pressure from investors and governments alike to move towards greener energy sources.
????Oil major BP plans to cut oil and gas output by 40 per cent and boost investments in wind and solar, while Royal Dutch Shell is betting on power trading and hydrogen and biofuels markets as it shifts away from oil.
????Gunvor and other trading firms are investing more in gas as a transitional fuel to a greener energy mix, as its emissions, while still high, are lower than coal and oil.
????"Our view is that we also have to deal with hydrocarbons and decarbonise them, primarily natural gas, because these will still be a significant proportion of the future energy mix," said Tornqvist.
????"Our fastest expanding areas are LNG, physical natural gas, power, and we're also beefing up our carbon emissions trading," he added.
????As part of its sustainability goals, Gunvor's shipping arm Clearlake will convert its fleet to low or zero-emission vessels.
????The firm mothballed its refinery at Antwerp, Belgium but still runs two others, at Ingolstadt in Germany and in the Netherlands' Rotterdam oil hub. The German refinery will undergo a turnaround in 2023 to boost efficiency and cut emissions.
????Rotterdam's two crude processing units were shut in mid-2020 to focus on desulfurization. The plant has started using hydrogen for vegetable oil treatment and is evaluating the addition of an HVO unit to make biodiesel.
????Rival trading house Trafigura said in January it would cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30 per cent by 2023, and set up a new renewables and power division and green investment vehicle.
????Mercuria has teamed up with U.S. private equity firms to invest up to $1.5 billion in renewable projects, while Glencore said it plans to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
