据世界石油网站6月24日消息 信实工业有限公司经营着世界上最大的原油精炼厂，该公司计划在三年内投资7500亿卢比（101 亿美元）用于清洁能源，为全球投资者、消费者和政府寻求可持续增长的关键转型铺平道路。
该公司董事长穆克什·安巴尼周四对股东表示，将在印度西部古吉拉特邦建立四家“超级工厂”，投资超过6000亿卢比，并在 价值链和其他伙伴关系方面再投资1500亿卢比。
他说，到2030年，这家印度最有价值的公司还将建立并启用至少100吉瓦的太阳能发电能力，主要通过屋顶安装和村庄的非集中化运营。
信实的重心转向更清洁、更环保的传统业务，突显了能源行业的新世界秩序。埃克森美孚等全球巨头正面临削减碳排放的压力 ，而印度第二大富豪乔塔姆?阿达尼等本土大亨则在环保举措上加倍努力，并引发股市反弹。绿色议程在印度也有更广泛的政 策支持，是莫迪领导的政府的首要任务之一。
安巴尼在讲话中说：“我们将把我们的传统业务转变为可持续、循环和净零碳材料业务，这将在几十年内提供不断增长的回报 。为此，我们将重新调整现有资产的用途，以延长它们的经济寿命和盈利能力。”
信实工业去年为自己设定了一个目标，即到2035年成为一家净零碳公司，与包括BP和壳牌在内的许多全球同行自设的2050年减排目标相比，这一期限更短。安巴尼的集团今年2月购买了第一批碳中和原油，并表示正在寻找更多此类合作伙伴。
印度政府计划到2030年将其可再生能源产能扩大近5倍，达到450吉瓦，以减少对煤炭的依赖。

India’s Reliance Industries plans $10 billion clean energy investment
(Bloomberg) --Reliance Industries Ltd., which operates the world’s largest crude oil refining complex, plans to invest 750 billion rupees ($10.1 billion) in clean energy over three years, paving way for a crucial transformation as investors, consumers and governments world over seek sustainable growth.
The refining-to-retail conglomerate will create four “giga factories” in the western Indian state of Gujarat, investing over 600 billion rupees, and another 150 billion rupees in value chain and other partnerships, Chairman Mukesh Ambani told shareholders on Thursday.
India’s most valuable company will also “establish and enable” at least 100 gigawatts of solar power capacity by 2030, mostly through rooftop installations and de-centralized operations in villages, he said.
Reliance’s pivot toward a cleaner, greener version of its legacy businesses underscores the new world order for the energy sector. Global giants such as Exxon Mobil Corp. are under pressure to pare their carbon footprint while local rival tycoons including India’s second-richest man, Gautam Adani, are doubling down on their green initiatives and stoking a stock rally. The green agenda also has the broader policy backing in India and is one of the top priorities for the Narendra Modi-led government.
“We will transform our legacy business into sustainable, circular and net-zero carbon materials business. One that will provide growing returns over several decades,” Ambani said in his speech. “And we will do this by re-purposing our existing assets to extend their economic life and earning capacity.”
Reliance last year set itself a target of becoming a net-zero carbon company by 2035 - a shorter time frame compared to the self-imposed 2050 cut-off of many of its global peers including BP Plc. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc. Ambani’s group bought its first cargo of carbon-neutral crude oil in February and said it was looking for more such partnerships.
India’s government plans to expand its renewable energy capacity nearly five-fold to 450 gigawatts by 2030, as the nation aims to reduce its dependence on coal.
