據油價網2021年6月24日報道,彭博新聞社周四援引知情人士的話報道稱,作為歐佩克最大的產油國之一,阿聯酋正在考慮到2050年前實現凈零碳排放目標。
如果這個海灣石油生產國加入主要工業化國家的凈零排放承諾,阿聯酋將成為第一個平衡主要減排目標和其重要的石油和天然氣工業的主要石油生產國家。根據石油輸出國組織(歐佩克)的數據,阿聯酋大約30%的國內生產總值(GDP)直接依賴于石油和天然氣產量。上世紀50年代末,阿聯酋首次發現石油,使該國成為高生活水平的富裕國家。
據彭博社消息,阿聯酋有望在11月在格拉斯哥舉行的第26屆聯合國氣候變化締約方會議(COP26)之前宣布其凈零排放計劃。
彭博社指出,從技術上講,阿聯酋石油和天然氣業務的凈零排放將意味著該國可以在國內實現凈零排放,而不考慮使用其運往國外的石油所產生的排放。
目前,阿布扎比國家石油公司的目標是到2030年前將石油產能擴大到500萬桶/天。
如果阿聯酋宣布凈零排放目標,這可能會迫使美國在中東的其他盟友承諾實現這一目標,包括世界上最大的石油出口國沙特阿拉伯。

UAE Could Become First OPEC Producer To Pledge Net-Zero By 2050
One of OPEC’s largest producers, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is considering the potential adoption of a net-zero by 2050 goal, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources with knowledge of the talks.
If the Gulf oil producer joins major industrialized nations in the net-zero emissions commitments, it will become the first major petrostate to balance major emission-reduction goals with its important oil and gas industry. Around 30 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) is directly based on oil and gas output, according to OPEC. Oil discoveries in the UAE, the first in the late 1950s, have made the emirates a wealthy country with a high standard of living.
According to Bloomberg’s sources, the UAE could be looking to make a net-zero announcement ahead of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow in November.
Net-zero emissions from oil and gas operations in the UAE would technically mean that the country could achieve net-zero within its borders without considering the emissions from the use of the oil it is shipping abroad, Bloomberg notes.
Currently, ADNOC continues to target expanding its oil production capacity to 5 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2030.
If the UAE announces a net-zero target, this could pressure other U.S. allies in the Middle East to pledge such goals, including the world’s largest oil exporter Saudi Arabia.
