据原油新闻3月12日消息称，全球最大的燃料零售网络所有者荷兰皇家壳牌周四表示，由于新冠病毒大流行导致石油和天然气销售大幅下降，2020年其温室气体排放总量下降了16%。
壳牌在其年度报告中表示，从其油井到燃料销售之前的总排放量从2019年的16.5亿吨二氧化碳当量下降到去年的13.8亿吨二氧化碳当量。
它说：“ 2020年减排量超过预期的主要原因之一是对能源的需求下降，尤其是对石油和天然气的需求下降。”
能源专业人士的气候报告的不同之处在于一些排放数据（例如壳牌周四发布的数据）包括他们自己生产的燃料燃烧产生的温室气体，以及它们销售的、但由另一家公司生产的石油产品。
其他公司，如BP，只覆盖前者:他们自己生产的原油燃料燃烧产生的排放。
壳牌表示，净碳强度是英荷能源转型战略中重点关注的主要指标，去年降至每兆焦75克二氧化碳当量，较2019年下降4%。
碳能源强度是指企业可以在增加化石燃料产量的同时，抵消碳排放，或在产品组合中增加可再生能源。
壳牌已开始进行大刀阔斧的改革，从石油和天然气转向低碳能源、电力贸易和零售，以期到本世纪中叶将其温室气体排放量减少至净零，包括对剩余排放使用抵消措施。
壳牌经营着大约46000个零售加油站。

Shell’s 2020 Carbon Emissions Fall Royal Dutch Shell, owner of the world’s largest fuel retail network, said Shell said in its annual report that total emissions from its oil wells to forecourt fuel sales fell to 1.38 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent last year, from 1.65 billion in 2019.
“One of the major causes of this larger than expected reduction in 2020 was lower demand for energy, especially for oil and gas,” it said.
Energy majors’ climate reporting differs in that some emissions data, for example the data Shell released Others, like BP, Net carbon intensity, the main measure the Anglo-Dutch focuses Carbon energy intensity means a company can increase its fossil fuel output while offsetting its carbon emissions or adding renewable energy to its product mix.
Shell has begun a major overhaul to shift away from oil and gas to low-carbon energy, power trading and retail in order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by mid-century, including the use of offsets for residual emissions.
Shell runs around 46,000 retail fuel stations.
