据烃加工网站1月25日消息 据《日经商报》报道，日本住友将停止对新的石油开发项目的投资，因为在全球范围内，住友正在努力削减温室气体排放，该公司将不再从事化石燃料业务。
此举正值全球矿业公司和日本贸易公司削减煤炭业务（包括采矿和发电）敞口，以减少二氧化碳排放，缓解气候变化。
《日经》称，日本各大贸易公司已表示将停止投资开发火力煤矿或建设燃煤电站的新项目，但这将是日本贸易公司首次决定不投资新的石油项目。
该报称，住友将不再参与新石油项目的拍卖，不过它将继续其现有的石油项目，包括北海的项目，但没有援引消息人士的话进行报道。
《日经》称，在能源和自然资源方面，住友将把管理资源重点放在海上风电场等可再生能源和基础金属上，包括用于电动汽车的铜和镍。
住友未立即进行评论。

Sumitomo Corp to stop investing in new oil development projects
Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corp will stop investing in new oil development projects as it shifts away from fossil fuels businesses amid a global push to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the Nikkei business daily reported.
The move comes as global miners and Japanese trading companies cut their exposure to coal operations, including mining and power generation to trim harmful carbon dioxide emissions and to slow climate change.
Major Japanese trading houses have said they would stop investing in new projects to develop thermal coal mines or build coal-fired power stations, but this would be the first time that a Japanese trading firm decided not to invest in new oil projects, the Nikkei said.
Sumitomo will no longer participate auctions for new oil projects, though it will continue its existing oil projects including those in North Sea, the paper said, without citing sources.
In energy and natural resources, Sumitomo will focus its management resources Sumitomo was not immediately available for comment.
