據CNBC網站4月16日消息：石油巨頭荷蘭皇家殼牌公司的一位高管表示，電動汽車將在該公司減排努力中發揮關鍵作用。
殼牌下游主管Huibert Vigeveno稱，殼牌計劃在全球范圍內擴大其電動汽車充電站網絡。
“幾周前我們宣布，目前在全球擁有6萬個充電站。我們將在2025年將這一數字提高到50萬，到2030年提高到250萬。“
這家石油巨頭曾因管道泄漏和石油泄漏等環境問題而面臨法律訴訟，如今已加快戰略步伐以達成其目標，即到2050年實現凈零排放能源企業。
上個月，新加坡能源市場管理局(EMA)和殼牌公司聯合向一個由Eigen Energy牽頭的財團提供了一筆研究經費。這筆贈款將幫助這家新加坡太陽能公司到2022年開發該國第一批集成智能能源管理解決方案的服務站。
“2019年我們在新加坡建立了第一個電動汽車充電站。現在，我們已經擁有三分之一的充電站網絡。” Vigeveno補充說。
在歐洲，該公司已經與電動汽車市場的大型企業展開合作。
今年4月，該公司宣布與電網設備制造商Alfen合作開展一個試點項目，目的是在荷蘭的一個加油站測試電池支持的超快速充電系統。初步計劃是在全球范圍內更廣泛地采用這種模式，以緩解大眾市場電動汽車采用可能帶來的壓力。
今年1月，殼牌宣布計劃收購英國最大的公共電動汽車充電網絡ubitricity。據報道，該公司在該國擁有2700多個充電點。
殼牌還致力于通過減少充電站的充電時間來顯著改善客戶體驗。
殼牌在其網站上表示，目前正在開發智能充電技術，以幫助確保電動汽車通過調整充電時間和充電速度等方式順利融入電力系統。
同時，Vigeveno稱，這家英荷公司將繼續推進生物燃料的發展，加大力度減少碳排放。
該公司已經在生物燃料領域擁有非常重要的地位，其Raizen合資企業利用巴西的甘蔗生產低碳燃料。
“Raizen現在占全球生物燃料產量的3％。第一代和第二代生物燃料有更多的機會成為我們價值鏈的一部分。”

Shell says electric vehicles will be crucial in its efforts to lower carbon emissions
Electric vehicles will play a critical role in Royal Dutch Shell’s efforts to cut emissions, according to a senior executive at the oil giant.
“If you look at the decarbonization opportunities of this mobility sector, EV plays a crucial role,” said Huibert Vigeveno, downstream director at Shell, adding that the company intends to expand its global electric vehicle charging stations network worldwide.
“What we’ve announced a couple of weeks ago is that we have 60,000 charging points in the world right now. We are going to move that to 500,000 by 2025, and 2.5 million by 2030,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Friday.
The oil giant, which has faced legal battles for environmental issues such as pipeline leaks and oil spills, has accelerated its strategy to achieve its target to be a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050.
Last month, Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Shell jointly awarded a research grant to a consortium led by Eigen Energy. The grant will help the Singaporean solar firm develop the country’s first series of service stations integrated with smart energy management solutions by 2022.
“Two years ago, in 2019 we had our first EV charging point in Singapore. Now, one third of our network already has it,” Vigeveno added.
In Europe, the company is already partnering with large players in the electric vehicle market.
It announced in April a pilot project with grid equipment maker Alfen to test a battery-backed ultra-fast charging system at a Dutch filling station, in the Netherlands. There are tentative plans to adopt the format more widely worldwide to ease the pressures likely to come with mass-market EV adoption.
In January, Shell announced plans to purchase the owner of the U.K.’s largest public electric vehicle charging network, ubitricity, according to Reuters. The company reportedly has more than 2,700 charge points in the country.
Shell also aims to significantly improve customer experience by cutting down charging times at EV stations.
“I have an electric car myself and if I charge my car at home, it takes hours. Well, that’s not something I want to do as when I’m on the go. So I have to offer it to you in a way that I can recharge it, in 10 to 20 minutes,” said Vigeveno, without providing further details.
Shell said on its website it’s working on intelligent charging technologies to can help ensure the smooth integration of EVs into the electricity system in ways such as adjusting charge times and speed of charge.
Meanwhile, the Anglo-Dutch company will continue to make its push in biofuels as it ramps up efforts to reduce carbon emissions, according to Vigeveno.
He added the company already has a very big position in biofuels with its joint venture in Raizen, which produces low-carbon fuels from sugar cane in Brazil.
“Raizen is now 3% of the global production of biofuels. And I see many more opportunities for first and second generation of biofuels and being part of our value chains,” Vigeveno said.
