據(jù)海灣新聞網(wǎng)2023年1月17日迪拜報(bào)道，阿布扎比國(guó)家石油公司（ADNOC）將把二氧化碳放置到巖層中，這家阿聯(lián)酋能源巨頭將從今年1月開(kāi)始在富查伊拉這樣做。ADNOC將使用來(lái)自44.01能源公司的一種獲獎(jiǎng)的碳捕獲和礦化技術(shù)來(lái)消除大氣中的二氧化碳。

這是能源公司在中東地區(qū)的第一次這樣的冒險(xiǎn)。除了44.01能源公司，ADNOC的合作伙伴還包括富查伊拉自然資源公司和阿布扎比未來(lái)能源公司。

在這個(gè)試驗(yàn)中，二氧化碳將從空氣中被捕獲，溶解在海水中，然后注入到地下深處的橄欖巖地層中，在那里它將礦化——確保它不會(huì)再次逃逸到大氣中。

ADNOC首席技術(shù)官Sophie Hildebrand表示：“我們致力于尋找新的方法來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)我們運(yùn)營(yíng)的脫碳，同時(shí)履行我們?yōu)槭澜缣峁┲匾茉吹呢?zé)任?！薄白鳛橹袞|地區(qū)第一家運(yùn)營(yíng)此負(fù)碳項(xiàng)目的能源公司，這一試點(diǎn)標(biāo)志著我們?cè)陧?xiàng)目上投資150億美元的最新一步，這些項(xiàng)目將減少我們的碳足跡，并幫助我們?cè)?050年前實(shí)現(xiàn)凈零目標(biāo)?！?/p>

富查伊拉之所以被選為試點(diǎn)地區(qū)，是因?yàn)槟抢镉胸S富的橄欖巖，這是一種自然與二氧化碳反應(yīng)使其礦化的巖石。

富查伊拉自然資源公司董事長(zhǎng)Muhammad Saif Al Afkham說(shuō)：“這里的成功可以為幫助我們?cè)?050年前實(shí)現(xiàn)阿聯(lián)酋凈零戰(zhàn)略倡議作出重大貢獻(xiàn)鋪平道路?！?/p>

ADNOC to be first energy company in Middle East to mineralize CO2 into rocks

Dubai: ADNOC is out to place CO2 within rock formations - and the UAE energy giant will do that in Fujairah from this month on. The company will use a ‘prize-winning’ carbon capture and mineralisation technology from 44.01 to eliminate C02 from the atmosphere.

This is the first such venture by any energy company in the Middle East. ADNOC’s partners apart from 44.01 include the Fujairah Natural Resources Corporation (FNRC), Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar).

In this pilot, CO2 will be captured from the air, dissolved in seawater, and then injected into peridotite formations deep underground, where it will mineralize - ensuring that it cannot escape back into the atmosphere.

“We are committed to finding new ways to decarbonize our operations, while meeting our responsibility to supply vital energy to the world,” said Sophie Hildebrand, Chief Technology Officer at ADNOC. “As the first energy company in the region to run a carbon-negative project of this kind, this pilot marks the latest step in our $15 billion investment into projects that will reduce our carbon footprint and help us achieve our Net Zero by 2050 ambition.”

Fujairah was selected for this pilot due to its abundance of peridotite, a form of rock that naturally reacts with CO2 to mineralize it.

Muhammad Saif Al Afkham, Chairman of Fujairah Natural Resources Corporation, said: “Success here could pave the way to help us make a significant contribution towards the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative.”
