据彭博新闻社6月7日报道,美国第2大石油公司雪佛龙公司表示,天然气将在遏制排放方面发挥长期作用,而一些所谓环保组织相反,他们认为天然气只是通往低碳经济的临时桥梁。
雪佛龙公司中游业务副总裁科林·帕菲特表示,为了实现这一目标,欧洲买家正在签署更多为期10年或更长时间的天然气交付合同,以寻找替代以前由产能大国供应的供暖和发电厂燃料的来源。
帕菲特周二在接受彭博电视台记者采访时表示:“我们认为天然气需求将长期存在。但我们不认为这只是一个中期的步骤。我们认为这是一个长期的步骤。”
在帕菲特发表上述言论的一周前,雪佛龙公司股东们以压倒性多数否决了环保激进分子提出额度更严格排放目标的要求。

Chevron: Natural gas to play “long-term” role in curbing emissions
Chevron Corp. said natural gas will play a long-term role in curbing emissions, bucking some environmental groups that see the fuel’s role as a temporary bridge to a low-carbon economy.
To that end, European buyers are signing more gas-delivery contracts of a decade or more in duration as they seek replacement sources of the heating and power-plant fuel formerly supplied by the largger producer, said Colin Parfitt, Chevron’s Vice President of Midstream.
“We see a long demand for natural gas,” Parfitt said during an interview with Bloomberg TV on Tuesday. “But we don’t think it’s just an intermediate step. We see that as a long term step.”
Parfitt’s comments came a week after Chevron shareholders overwhelmingly shot down activist demands for tougher emission targets.
