据彭博新能源财经(BNEF)8月11日报道,世界上最大的国际石油公司(IOC)在2015年至2020年间出售了超过1980亿美元的资产,是清洁能源技术投资的四倍多。
资产出售的收益被用于投资新的化石燃料项目、偿还债务或支付股息。此前,油价疲软,从2014年每桶近115美元的高位跌至2020年每桶28美元以下。
欧洲国际石油公司明显有别于美国同行。挪威国家石油公司(Equinor)是其中唯一一家清洁能源投资超过资产出售收益的公司。
尽管埃克森美孚、雪佛龙和康菲石油的资产出售数额很高,但它们在清洁能源领域的投资总额仅为7.57亿美元,仅占撤资收益的1%。出售的大部分资产位于欧洲,这表明投资者和政策压力可能推动国际石油公司做出出售资产的决定。BNEF预计,脱碳战略将导致更多资产出售收益转向清洁技术。

Big Oil’s $198B Divestment Windfall Outpaces Green Spend
The world’s largest international oil companies, or IOCs, sold over $198 billion of assets between 2015 and 2020, over four times the amount they invested into clean energy technologies.
The proceeds of asset sales were instead used to invest in new fossil fuel projects, to pay down debt, or to pay dividends. This was at a time when oil prices weakened, falling from a high of almost $115 per barrel in 2014, to below $28 in 2020.
European IOCs notably diverged from their U.S. peers. Equinor was the only IOC to see clean energy investment outstrip divestment proceeds.
Despite high levels of divestment from ExxonMobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips, they collectively invested just $757 million in clean energy, only 1% of the divestment proceeds. Most assets sold were located in Europe, indicating that investor and policy pressure to decarbonize may be driving IOCs decisions to offload assets. BNEF anticipates that decarbonization strategies will lead to more sales proceeds being redirected into clean technologies.
