据油价网2021年6月24日报道,彭博新闻社周四援引知情人士的话报道称,作为欧佩克最大的产油国之一,阿联酋正在考虑到2050年前实现净零碳排放目标。
如果这个海湾石油生产国加入主要工业化国家的净零排放承诺,阿联酋将成为第一个平衡主要减排目标和其重要的石油和天然气工业的主要石油生产国家。根据石油输出国组织(欧佩克)的数据,阿联酋大约30%的国内生产总值(GDP)直接依赖于石油和天然气产量。上世纪50年代末,阿联酋首次发现石油,使该国成为高生活水平的富裕国家。
据彭博社消息,阿联酋有望在11月在格拉斯哥举行的第26届联合国气候变化缔约方会议(COP26)之前宣布其净零排放计划。
彭博社指出,从技术上讲,阿联酋石油和天然气业务的净零排放将意味着该国可以在国内实现净零排放,而不考虑使用其运往国外的石油所产生的排放。
目前,阿布扎比国家石油公司的目标是到2030年前将石油产能扩大到500万桶/天。
如果阿联酋宣布净零排放目标,这可能会迫使美国在中东的其他盟友承诺实现这一目标,包括世界上最大的石油出口国沙特阿拉伯。

UAE Could Become First OPEC Producer To Pledge Net-Zero By 2050
One of OPEC’s largest producers, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is considering the potential adoption of a net-zero by 2050 goal, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources with knowledge of the talks.
If the Gulf oil producer joins major industrialized nations in the net-zero emissions commitments, it will become the first major petrostate to balance major emission-reduction goals with its important oil and gas industry. Around 30 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) is directly based on oil and gas output, according to OPEC. Oil discoveries in the UAE, the first in the late 1950s, have made the emirates a wealthy country with a high standard of living.
According to Bloomberg’s sources, the UAE could be looking to make a net-zero announcement ahead of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow in November.
Net-zero emissions from oil and gas operations in the UAE would technically mean that the country could achieve net-zero within its borders without considering the emissions from the use of the oil it is shipping abroad, Bloomberg notes.
Currently, ADNOC continues to target expanding its oil production capacity to 5 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2030.
If the UAE announces a net-zero target, this could pressure other U.S. allies in the Middle East to pledge such goals, including the world’s largest oil exporter Saudi Arabia.
