据世界能源12月14日消息：沙特阿拉伯财政部长回应了该国石油官员的警告，即全球化石燃料投资放缓将导致能源价格飙升。
穆罕默德·贾达安说:“我们非常担心，如果不小心管理过度，世界可能会出现能源短缺。在沙特阿拉伯，维持需求符合我们的利益。我们还担心需求在增加，没有其他替代能源来填补这一缺口，我们不希望油价过高。”
在政府发布2022年预算后不久，贾达安的言论突显出一些主要石油生产国的担忧，即西方政府和能源公司撤出化石燃料的速度过快。
国有能源公司沙特阿美的首席执行官上周表示，能源转型“混乱”，价格上涨可能引发“社会动荡”。他表示，尽管沙特阿美等公司在开发可再生能源方面取得了快速进展，但它们要完全接管还需要几十年的时间。
沙特能源部长阿卜杜勒阿齐兹·本·萨勒曼认为，今年天然气、煤炭和石油价格的飙升表明，有必要在这些产品的生产上增加支出。
这些观点与大多数气候活动家所说的减缓地球变暖的必要性不同。国际能源署呼吁，如果世界要在2050年前中和碳排放，就必须停止对化石燃料的新投资。
总部位于利雅得的智库国际能源论坛的数据显示，2020年，油气项目支出下降了30%，至3,090亿美元，今年仅略有回升。
波斯湾国家是少数仍在花费数十亿美元来增加产量的国家之一。沙特阿拉伯计划到2027年将其原油日产量从1200万桶提高到1300万桶。

Saudis Foresee Oil Price Spikes from Energy Transition Efforts
Saudi Arabia’s finance minister echoed warnings from the kingdom’s oil officials that a slowdown in fossil-fuel investment globally will cause spikes in energy prices.
“We have very serious concerns that the world could run short of energy if we are not careful in managing the transition,” Mohammed Al-Jadaan said. “In Saudi Arabia, we have an interest in maintaining demand. We are also worried that demand is increasing and there are no alternatives to fill that gap and we don’t want oil prices to go too high.”
Al-Jadaan’s comments, shortly after the government released its 2022 budget, underscore the alarm among some major oil producers that Western governments and energy companies are pulling back from fossil fuels too quickly.
The chief executive officer of state energy firm Saudi Aramco said last week the energy transition was “chaotic” and higher prices could trigger “social unrest.” While companies such as Aramco were making rapid progress developing renewable forms of energy, he said, it would be decades before they could fully take over.
Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman has argued this year’s surge in natural gas, coal and oil prices demonstrates the need for more spending on their production.
These views differ from what most climate activists say is necessary to slow the warming of the planet. The International Energy Agency has called for the cessation of new investment in fossil fuels if the world is to neutralize carbon emissions by 2050.
Expenditure on oil and gas projects slumped 30% to $309 billion in 2020 and had only recovered slightly this year, according to Riyadh-based think tank the International Energy Forum.
Persian Gulf countries are among the few still spending billions of dollars to increase their output. Saudi Arabia plans to raise its daily crude-production capacity to 13 million barrels from 12 million by 2027.
