據(jù)烴加工新聞5月11日消息稱，日本最大的煉油商新日石控股（Eneos）周四表示，計劃在三年內(nèi)將凈利潤增加一倍以上，達(dá)到3100億日元，并在綠色能源和氣候友好型燃料領(lǐng)域大舉擴(kuò)張。

日本是一個能源匱乏的國家，從石油到煤炭，幾乎所有的能源都要進(jìn)口。日本的企業(yè)正面臨著來自政府和股東的壓力，要求它們在2050年前實現(xiàn)碳中和。

新日石仍主要依賴其石油業(yè)務(wù)，該公司計劃在未來三年內(nèi)向其能源部門投資1萬億日元，包括可再生能源項目、氫供應(yīng)鏈和可持續(xù)航空燃料(SAF)。

它在日本的第一個SAF工廠將于2026年啟動，它正在考慮另一個SAF設(shè)施，可能在2030年左右投入運營。該公司表示，到2040年，以太陽能和風(fēng)能為主的可再生能源的裝機容量將從目前的不足1吉瓦增至6吉瓦至8吉瓦。

同樣是大型礦商的新日石表示，正準(zhǔn)備讓旗下金屬子公司JX Nippon Mining and metals上市，盡管該計劃尚未最終敲定。

新日石總裁Takeshi Saito表示，通過上市，將能夠執(zhí)行戰(zhàn)略投資，這對于轉(zhuǎn)變業(yè)務(wù)組合以實現(xiàn)能源轉(zhuǎn)型是必要的。

他表示：“分拆還將有助于降低新日石收益的波動性。”

新日石計劃在三年內(nèi)投資1800億日元用于油氣上游業(yè)務(wù)，包括在印度尼西亞和巴布亞新幾內(nèi)亞的液化天然氣的進(jìn)一步開發(fā)，以及碳捕獲和儲存業(yè)務(wù)。

Japan's Eneos aims to double profit in 3 years with green energy plan

Japan's biggest oil refiner Eneos Holdings said on Thursday it planned to more than double net profit to ￥310 B in three years and expand aggressively in green energy and climate-friendlier fuels.

Companies in Japan, an energy-poor country importing nearly everything from oil to coal, are under pressure from the government and shareholders to be carbon-neutral by 2050.

Eneos, which still relies mainly on its oil business, plans to spend ￥1 T over three years on its energy segment including renewable energy projects, the hydrogen supply chain and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Its first SAF plant in Japan should be launched in 2026 and it is considering another SAF facility that could be operational by about 2030. Renewable energy, primarily solar and wind power, should reach 6 to 8 gigawatts (GW) by 2040 from less than 1 GW now, the company said.

Eneos, also a major miner, said it was preparing to list its metal unit JX Nippon Mining and metals, although the plans had yet to be finalized.

Through the listing, Eneos will be able to execute strategic investment which is necessary for transforming the business portfolio to realize the energy transition, President Takeshi Saito said.

"The spin-off will also help reduce volatility of Eneos' earnings," he said.

Eneos plans to invest ￥180 B over the three years in its oil and gas upstream segment, including for additional development of liquefied natural gas in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, and in its carbon-capture and storage business.
