据OE网站9月27日报道，石油巨头英国石油公司（BP）的一位高级公司官员周一表示，亚洲需要采用碳定价机制，以帮助加快向低排放的过渡。

　　BP新加坡总裁兼 BP 亚太和中东贸易和航运部门首席执行官Eugene Leong表示，能够防止碳泄漏，将碳转移到另一个领域的一个设计良好的碳定价框架，需要进行过渡。

　　Leong在APPEC 2021年年度会议的预先录制的讨论中表示，其在发达国家更为成熟，一个精心设计的碳价格会为转型提供正确的激励机制。

　　Leong称，亚洲还可以通过增加生物燃料的使用，并将天然气消费与碳捕获、使用和储存(CCUS)等技术结合起来，以“实现一种非常低的碳能源，可以大规模、经济地部署”，从而加快其降低碳排放的步伐。

　　在向低碳未来转型的过程中，液化天然气(LNG)预计将在未来10-15年在亚洲发挥关键作用。

　　Leong表示，“液化天然气也将为可再生能源铺平道路”，因为其为电网提供了稳定性，而可再生能源仍是一种“间歇性”能源。

　　一些亚洲国家已经开始使用液化天然气取代煤炭，以满足其能源需求。

　　作为英国石油公司能源转型重点的一部分，其重点关注的两个领域是流动性和低碳能源。

　　据Leong称，到2030年，BP的目标是将其全球汽车充电点的数量从目前的11,000个增加到 70,000 个。并补充道，我们已经将低碳能源发电管道的发电能力提高了一倍多，达到了21吉瓦，我们的海上业务也增加到了大约4吉瓦。

　　BP Exec: Asia Needs Carbon Pricing to Accelerate Energy Transition

　　Asia needs to adopt a carbon pricing mechanism to help accelerate its transition towards lower emissions, a senior company official at oil major BP said on Monday.

　　"A well-designed carbon pricing framework that is able to prevent carbon leakage, moving carbon to another area, needs to take place for a transition," said Eugene Leong, president of BP Singapore and chief executive of BP's trading & shipping arm of Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

　　"It is much more established in the developed countries, and a well-designed carbon price drives the right incentives for transition," Leong said in a pre-recorded discussion for the annual APPEC 2021 conference.

　　Asia could also accelerate its move to lower carbon emissions by ramping up the use of biofuels and coupling natural gas consumption with technologies like carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) to "enable a very low carbon energy source that can be deployed at scale, and affordably", said Leong.

　　In the transition towards a lower carbon future, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to play a key role in Asia for the next 10 to 15 years.

　　"LNG is also going to pave the way to renewables" because it provides stability in the grid while renewables are still an "intermittent" source of energy, said Leong.

　　Some countries in Asia have already started using LNG to replace coal to meet their energy demands.

　　As part of BP's focus on energy transition, two of its main areas of focus are mobility and low carbon energies.

　　By 2030, BP aims to boost its number of global car charging points 70,000, from 11,000 currently, according to Leong.

　　"We have more than doubled our low carbon energy generating pipeline to 21 gigawatts today (and) have built up our offshore business to roughly about four gigawatts," Leong added.
