据彭博社5月10日报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司的负责人预计，清洁能源将在“未来十年内”占据公司能源结构的一半。
首席执行官本·范伯登(Ben van Beurden)在接受HBO电视台AXIOS采访时表示:“如果在下个十年中期我们还不能实现这一目标，那么我们面临的不仅是公司的问题，也是整个社会的问题。”
和其他欧洲公司一样，这家英荷合资公司也立志在本世纪中叶成为一家净零排放的能源公司。这一壮举包括生产更少的石油，更多的天然气和可再生能源，以及使用仍处于起步阶段的氢和碳封存技术。但并不是所有人都相信，这家能源巨头将在本月晚些时候的年度股东大会上就此事与一些股东发生冲突。
范伯登说:“如果你想去除混合燃料中的碳氢化合物，你必须在使用碳氢化合物方面采取行动，而不是在生产方面。”在谈到转型的挑战时，这位63岁的荷兰人还表示，人们希望马上看到结果，但“不要指望我们明天就会停止向卡车出售柴油。”
尽管范伯登对美国重新加入《巴黎气候协定》表示欢迎，该协定旨在将全球变暖的温度上升幅度控制在低于工业化前水平的2摄氏度以内，但他对其他政策提出了质疑：“我还看到政府是在玩弄那些明确、简单、错误的流行观点，那就是‘让我们禁止在我们国家生产石油和天然气。’”
他表示:“我们将重点关注需求面，然后是由此产生的供应面。”

Half of Shell Energy Mix to Be Clean Next Decade
Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s head expects clean energy to make up half of the company’s energy mix “somewhere in the next decade.”“If we do not make that type of process by the middle of next decade, we have a problem not just as a company but as a society,” Chief Executive Officer Ben van Beurden said in an interview with AXIOS on HBO.Like its European peers, the Anglo-Dutch major has set itself an “ambition” to become a net-zero emissions energy company by the middle of this century.
The feat involves producing less oil, more gas and renewables, as well as using technologies still in their infancy like hydrogen and carbon sequestration. Not everyone is convinced, with the energy giant set to clash with some shareholders on the matter at its annual general meeting later this month.“If you want to get rid of hydrocarbons in the mix, you have to do something about the use of it, not the production of it,” van Beurden said.
Speaking on the challenges of the transition, the 63-year-old Dutchman also said that people want to see results straightaway, but “don’t expect that tomorrow we will stop selling diesel to trucks.”While Van Beurden welcomed the U.S. rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, which seeks to limit global warming temperature increases to less than 2 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels, he questioned other policies.
“Popular demand may well push you in the direction, but it is not smart policy.”“We will focus on the demand side, and then the supply side is a resultant of that,” he said.
