???? 據能源世界網2月4日休斯敦報道，一些能源巨頭正在把他們的碳封存技術和項目轉變為商業項目，把一些幫助開采更多石油和天然氣的努力轉變為盈利的項目，同時提升他們在環境方面的聲譽。
????這些努力可以幫助大型溫室氣體排放者減少碳排放強度，并進一步接近《巴黎協定》的氣候變化目標。 能源巨頭們將這些努力視為平衡客戶對更多石油和天然氣的需求，同時適應低碳能源的世界。
????聯合國表示，2015年《巴黎氣候協定》的目標是將全球變暖的增加幅度限制在不超過1.5攝氏度的范圍內，必須采用碳去除技術。
????貝克休斯公司
????該油田設備和服務公司收購了挪威技術公司Compact Carbon Capture (3C)，并計劃將其溶劑基產品商業化。3C表示，其可擴展設計的碳足跡只有其他碳捕捉系統的四分之一。
????貝克休斯公司將把旋轉式3C設備及其產品和服務推向油氣，液化天然氣，航運和管道運營商等行業。3C的工業規模裝置設計每年可捕獲多達25萬噸二氧化碳。
????埃克森美孚公司
????2021年初，埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)成立了低碳解決方案有限責任公司(LLC)，提供埃克森部署的技術和項目，以阻止其地球變暖的二氧化碳排放。該業務還旨在利用埃克森美孚在生產氫氣方面的經驗。
????低碳企業將利用埃克森美孚公司在美國墨西哥灣沿岸和北海下的二氧化碳儲存洞穴。其還將通過使用其封存項目來銷售減排額度。
????西方石油公司
????西方公司成立了Oxy低碳企業，以組織其碳捕獲、利用和減排業務。其和私人股本投資者Rushheen資本管理公司成立了1pointfive，這是一家德克薩斯州的企業，旨在直接從空中捕獲二氧化碳并將其埋在地下。
????聯合航空（United Airlines）承諾向1PointFive投資了數百萬美元，并將成為該公司的客戶，其目標是吸收相當于其飛機10％的年均碳排放量。
????道達爾
????道達爾已承諾將其研發預算的10％用于推進碳捕獲，利用和封存技術。其投資了一個項目，旨在研究捕獲科羅拉多州拉法基豪西水泥廠(LafargeHolcim cement )產生的二氧化碳并將其排放物埋在地下的成本。
????雪佛龍公司
????雪佛龍公司投資了Blue Planet Systems，這是一家將二氧化碳替代混凝土和建筑材料中石灰石的技術商業化的初創公司。這兩家公司正在計劃將Blue Planet碳捕獲過程商業化的試點項目。

????Big Oil seizes on carbon technology, environmental goals to build business
????Major energy companies are turning their carbon sequestration technologies and projects into business ventures, converting some efforts that help pump more oil and gas into profit-making ventures while burnishing their environmental reputation.
????The efforts could help big greenhouse gas emitters reduce their carbon emissions intensity and move closer to Paris Agreement climate change targets. Energy giants view these efforts as balancing customer demands for more oil and gas while fitting in a lower-carbon energy world.
????Carbon removal technologies will be necessary to limit the increase in planetary warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, the goal of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, the United Nations has said.
????BAKER HUGHES CO
????The oilfield equipment and services firm acquired Norwegian technology firm Compact Carbon Capture (3C) and plans to commercialize its solvent-based products. 3C says its scalable designs can be as little as a quarter of the footprint of other carbon-capturing systems.
????Baker Hughes will market the rotating 3C equipment alongside its products and services to industries including oil and gas, liquefied natural gas, shipping and pipeline operators. 3C's industrial-scale unit designs could capture up to 250,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
????EXXON MOBIL CORP
????In early 2021, Exxon Mobil formed Low Carbon Solutions LLC, offering to make available its technologies and projects that Exxon deployed to sequester its planet-warming CO2 emissions. The business also aims to leverage Exxon's experience in producing hydrogen gas.
????The Low Carbon business will leverage Exxon's CO2 storage caverns along the U.S. Gulf Coast and under the North Sea. It also will market emissions-reduction credits from the use of its sequestration projects.
????OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP
????Occidental formed Oxy Low Carbon Ventures to marshal its carbon capture, utilization and emissions reduction operations. It and private equity investor Rusheen Capital Management formed 1PointFive, a Texas business that aims to directly capture CO2 from the air and bury it underground.
????United Airlines pledged a multimillion dollar investment in 1PointFive and will become a customer of the business, aiming to absorb the equivalent annual carbon emissions of 10% of its aircraft.
????TOTAL SE
????Total has pledged to put 10% of its research and development budget to advance carbon capture, utilization and storage technology. It invested in a project to study the costs of capturing CO2 generated by a LafargeHolcim cement plant in Colorado and bury the emissions underground.
????CHEVRON CORP
????Chevron invested in Blue Planet Systems, a startup commercializing a technology that makes a substitute for limestone in concrete and building materials from CO2. The two firms are planning pilot projects that commercialize the Blue Planet carbon capture process.
