中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯12月5日消息,丹麦政府和议会多数议员周四晚间同意,到2050年结束北海丹麦海域的所有石油和天然气生产活动。
该协议意味着丹麦将不会下发新一轮许可,所有石油和天然气的勘探和开采活动到2050年必须结束,丹麦计划在这一年实现碳中性,意味着该国的温室气体净排放将达到零。
丹麦气候、能源和供应部长Dan Jorgensen在达成协议后的一份声明中表示,该协议为北海设定了一条新的绿色路线。
他表示∶“我们现在正在结束化石燃料时代。这项协议包含了令人兴奋的机会,可以利用旧的油气田来储存二氧化碳。在这方面也有巨大的就业潜力,即使是在同一领域,针对同一专业群体。”
丹麦政府表示,根据2017年的数据,丹麦约有4,500人直接或间接受雇于石油和天然气行业。

Denmark Aims to End All North Sea Oil and Gas Production by 2050
Denmark's government, along with a majority in parliament, agreed late Thursday to end all oil and gas activities in the Danish sector of the North Sea by 2050.
The agreement means there will be no more licensing rounds and all exploration and extraction of oil and gas must end by 2050, the year Denmark aims to be climate neutral, meaning its greenhouse-gas emissions will be reach net zero.
In a statement after agreeing the deal, Denmark's minister of climate, energy and supply, Dan Jorgensen, said the agreement sets a new, green course for the North Sea.
"We are now putting an end to the fossil era," he said.
"The agreement contains exciting opportunities to utilize the old oil and gas fields for [carbon dioxide] storage, where there is also a large job potential, even in the same area and for the same professional groups."
The government said there were around 4,500 people directly and indirectly employed in the oil and gas industry in Denmark, referring to 2017 data.
Denmark is the largest oil producer in the European Union, which excludes Norway and the U.K. In 2020, the Danish Energy Agency expects that around 83,000 barrels of oil and an additional 21,000 barrels of oil equivalent to gas will be produced in Denmark.
