据世界石油5月17日伦敦报道，荷兰政府已告知包括荷兰皇家壳牌公司和埃克森美孚公司在内的企业联合，它将在未来几年花费高达21亿欧元(26亿美元)将该国产生的部分碳排放埋到地下。
鹿特丹港的这个项目每年可以将大约250万吨的二氧化碳储存在海底枯竭的天然气田中。港口发言人Sjaak Poppe称，涉及的四家公司——壳牌、埃克森美孚、液化空气公司和空气产品与化学公司——将获得政府对该计划的支持。
鹿特丹港口去年产生了2240万吨二氧化碳，约占该国年排放量的14%。这个碳捕集项目被称为Porthos，它将把公司炼油厂和制氢厂的污染捕获在一个共享的网络中。然后，这些气体将被压缩并通过管道运输到海岸外，然后被泵入海床下三公里处的砂岩储层，这里曾经储存着天然气。
集成化的方式是将多个设施整合到一个单一的网络中，这是一种越来越受欢迎的方式，可以分担建立碳封存设施的成本，并增加可以使用这些设施的排放者的数量。同样得到政府资助的挪威和英国也在推行类似的模式。荷兰的补贴旨在防止四家公司因建造“碳捕集中心”而蒙受损失。
尽管这些资金已被用于加快采用气候友好型技术，但在过去十年中，碳捕集项目获得的资金只占各国政府在可再生能源、电动汽车或电池领域投入的资金的很小一部分。随着政策制定者将注意力转向减少工业部门的排放，这种情况开始改变。在工业部门，碳去除正迅速成为最经济的解决方案之一。
Poppe称:“政府已经向想要参与这个项目的四家公司明确表示，政府将填补碳排放交易体系和项目实际成本之间的缺口。”

Dutch government invites Shell, Exxon to join $2.6B subsea carbon storage plan
The Dutch government has told a consortium of companies including Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Exxon Mobil Corp. that it will spend as much as 2.1 billion euros ($2.6 billion) in the coming years to put some of their carbon emissions underground.
The project at the Port of Rotterdam could sequester about 2.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually by storing it in depleted gas fields in the seabed. The four companies involved—Shell, Exxon, Air Liquide SA, and Air Products and Chemicals Inc.—will receive state backing for the plan, according to Sjaak Poppe, a spokesman for the port.
Rotterdam port generated 22.4 million tons of carbon dioxide last year, about 14% of the country’s annual emissions. The carbon-capture project, known as Porthos, will trap pollution from the companies’ oil refineries and hydrogen production plants in a shared network. The gases will then be compressed and transported by pipes off the coast and pumped into a sandstone reservoir three kilometers below the seabed that once held natural gas.
The hub approach, where multiple facilities feed into a single network, is an increasingly popular way to share the costs of establishing a carbon storage facility and boost the number of polluters that can use it. Similar models are being pursued in Norway and the U.K., also supported by government funding. The Dutch subsidy is designed to prevent the four companies from incurring losses for building the hub.
While such funding has been used to accelerate the adoption of climate-friendly technologies, carbon-capture projects have received only a tiny fraction of what governments have poured into renewables, electric cars or batteries over the past decade. That’s starting to change with policy makers turning their attention to reducing emissions in the industrial sector, where carbon removal is fast becoming one of the most economical solutions.
“The government has made it clear to the four companies that want to be a part of this project,” Poppe said. “The government will fill the gap between the emissions trading system and the actual cost of the project.”
