据石油新闻2020年11月27日迪拜报道，沙特阿拉伯已利用其在担任G20轮值主席国的一年时间推动和推广其循环碳经济计划，称如果在全球范围内采用这个循环碳经济计划，它将降低碳排放，同时保持充足的能源供应。

    循环碳经济概念已经得到了G20成员国的支持和赞同，但这个计划还没有付诸实施，而且沙特阿拉伯王国迄今还没有透露任何与该循环碳经济计划相关的时间表或目标。

    沙特阿拉伯气候变化减缓计划基于“4个R”——即碳的减少（reduction）、再次使用（reuse）、消除（removal）和回收利用（recycling）——旨在降低释放到大气中的碳排放量。在这一框架下，沙特阿拉伯提出了一些倡议，诸如种树作为天然碳吸存，以及增加碳捕获储存、封存和利用项目的能力。

    Saudi Arabia promotes circular carbon scheme as it plans to keep pumping oil

    Saudi Arabia has used its year in the G20 presidency to promote its circular carbon economy scheme, which it says will lower carbon emissions if adopted worldwide, while maintaining abundant energy supplies.

    The circular carbon economy concept has been endorsed by G20 member states but has yet to be put into practice, and the kingdom has not revealed any timelines or targets associated with the plan.

    The Saudi climate change mitigation scheme is based on "four R's" -- reduction, reuse, removal and recycling of carbon -- aimed at lowering the amount of carbon emissions being released into the atmosphere. Under this umbrella, initiatives such planting trees as natural carbon sinks, and increasing the capacity of carbon capture storage, sequestration and utilization projects, have been proposed by Saudi Arabia.

    Notably, presentations on the topic given recently by Saudi energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman did not mention any reduction in hydrocarbon production.
