2019年BP碳排放量不降反增

北极星大气网讯:据道琼斯3月27日消息，英国石油公司(BP)周五表，尽管努力采取了减少空气污染的措施，但公司去年的碳排放量却出现增加，主要是由于业务并购所导致的。

这家英国能源公司报告称，2019年运营活动产生的温室气体直接排放量较上年同期增长了0.82%。尽管如此，这还是比2015年下降了3.9%。

BP表示：“随着低碳和无碳投资的增加，我们预计石油和天然气的投资将会下降。”

今年2月，该公司成为一个罕见的石油和天然气巨头，承诺到2050年实现与《巴黎协定》一致的净零排放。

BP Reports Emissions Uptick Despite Efforts

BP PLC said Friday that emissions from its operations rose last year mainly due to acquisitions, despite efforts to cut to air pollution.

The British energy company reported direct greenhouse-gas emissions from operations rose 0.82% in 2019 from a year earlier. Still, that marked a 3.9% decline from 2015.

"Over time, as investment goes up in low- and no-carbon, we see it going down in oil and gas," BP said.

In February, the company became a rare example of an oil-and-gas major pledging to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 in line with the Paris Agreement.
