壳牌引领大型石油公司竞相投资清洁能源

中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油9月4日伦敦彭博社报道，今年，荷兰皇家壳牌公司引领众多远超其美国竞争对手的欧洲大型石油公司准备进行创纪录的清洁能源交易 。

彭博新能源财经(BloombergNEF)编制的数据强调了世界上最大的化石燃料生产商壳牌向低碳能源过渡的速度加快，以及跨大西洋分配的规模扩大。自2010年以来，欧洲主要公司的可再生电力和存储公司的交易量是美国同行的七倍。

彭博新能源财经分析师David Doherty在周三发布的一份报告中表示，股东的压力、不断发展的新技术和迅速变化的消费者偏好迫使石油和天然气公司重新评估自己的长期战略，探索新的业务流程。

该报告称，今年迄今，石油公司在太阳能、风能和生物燃料等行业达成了约70笔交易，几乎超过2018年全年的交易总额。自2010年以来，七家公司约占交易数量的四分之三，除雪佛龙公司和沙特阿拉伯石油公司外，所有公司均为欧洲公司。

Shell leads Big Oil in the race to invest in clean energy

Major oil companies are poised to do a record number of clean-energy deals this year, with Royal Dutch Shell leading a group of European companies that are well ahead of their U.S. rivals.

The data compiled by BloombergNEF underscore the quickening pace of the transition to low-carbon energy among the world’s largest fossil fuel producers, and the scale of the trans-Atlantic divide. European majors closed seven times as many deals with renewable-electricity and storage companies as their U.S. counterparts since 2010.

“Shareholder pressure, evolving new technologies and rapidly changing consumer preferences have forced oil and gas companies to re-evaluate their long-term strategies and explore new business streams,” BloombergNEF analyst David Doherty said in a report published on Wednesday.

Oil companies have done about 70 deals in sectors including solar, wind and biofuels so far this year, already close to surpassing the total for the whole of 2018, according to the report. Seven companies account for about three-quarters of the number of deals since 2010, all are European-based aside from Chevron Corp. and Saudi Arabian Oil Co.
