日本JXTG斥资140亿美元实施转型计划

据5月20日Hydrocarbon Processing报道，日本最大的炼油企业JXTG控股公司（JXTG Holdings Inc.）表示，未来三年将斥资1.5万亿日元（约合140亿美元），推动其转型为低碳能源和材料供应商。

根据一项新的中期商业计划，到2023年3月底的支出将比过去3年的1.04万亿日元增长了44%。

JXTG控股公司总裁杉本聪表示，此基金将用于加强其在可再生能源、电子材料和石化领域的业务。他补充道，新的计划是基于这样一个假设，即石油产品和其他产品的需求将在本财政年度的4月至9月继续下降。

杉本在新闻发布会上表示：“我们不知道这此次疫情的影响会持续多久，但我们认为目前低碳发展的趋势不会改变。我们将坚持我们的长期愿景。”

去年，石油和金属集团（oil and metals group）公布了到2040年的长期愿景。基于到2040年国内石油需求将减半的猜测，这一愿景加强了可再生能源、化工产品、发电和电子材料等领域的发展。

周三，该公司又增加了一个新目标，即通过减少炼油厂的排放量和增加可再生能源、制氢和碳捕获与储存（CCS）等无碳资产，在2040年实现“碳中和”。

杉本还表示：“尽管油价暴跌，但推动可再生能源发展的趋势不会改变。“该集团旗下JXTG日本石油能源公司（JXTG Nippon Oil&Energy）总裁大田康夫（Katsuyuki Ota）将于6月出任JXTG Holdings总裁，杉本将成为董事长。

Japan's JXTG plans to spend $14 B align="justify">JXTG Holdings Inc, Japan’s biggest oil refiner, said it will spend 1.5 trillion yen ($14 billion) for the next three years to drive its transformation into a supplier of low-carbon energy and materials.

The planned spending, mapped out under a new medium-term business plan through end-March 2023, is a 44% jump from the 1.04 trillion yen spent in the past 3 years.

The fund will be used to strengthen its business in renewable energy, electronic materials and petrochemicals, JXTG Holdings President Tsutomu Sugimori said.

The new plan is based align="justify">“We don’t know how long an impact from the pandemic will continue, but we don’t think the current trend toward a low-carbon society will change,” Sugimori told a news conference.

“We will stick to our long-term vision,” he said.

Last year, the oil and metals group unveiled a long-term vision through 2040, reinforcing growth areas such as renewable energy, chemical products, power generation and electronic materials, based align="justify">On Wednesday, the company added a new goal to become “carbon neutral” in 2040, by reducing emissions from refineries and boosting carbon-free assets such as renewable energy, hydrogen generation, and carbon capture and storage (CCS).

“The growing trend of boosting renewable energy won’t change despite a slump in oil prices,” Sugimori said.

The company also announced that Katsuyuki Ota, president of JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy, an energy unit of the group, will become JXTG Holdings’ president in June. Sugimori will become chairman.
