據能源轉型新聞2021年5月13日倫敦報道,全球著名投資銀行摩根大通5月13日表示,化石燃料行業最大融資機構之一的摩根大通承諾幫助其石油和天然氣客戶在2030年前將碳排放強度降低35%。
這是這家總部位于美國的投行努力使其融資活動與《巴黎協定》的氣候目標保持一致的一部分。
摩根大通公布了其三大投資組合客戶——石油和天然氣、電力和汽車制造——的2030年碳排放強度目標,計劃幫助這些客戶向低碳世界轉型。
由于石油和天然氣項目的巨大碳足跡,摩根大通和其他許多投資銀行都面臨著減少油氣業務融資的巨大壓力。
摩根大通在一份聲明中說,在石油和天然氣投資組合中,摩根大通已承諾把經營碳排放強度減少35%,以及把最終用途碳排放強度減少15%——這反映下游石油和天然氣燃燒排放的減少以及可再生能源發電的增加。
石油和天然氣的目標包括石油和天然氣生產商,以及煉油廠和綜合公司。
摩根大通表示,該行將與客戶合作解決甲烷泄漏和燃除活動,并鼓勵轉向可再生電力以減少運營排放。
聲明稱,“該行還將與客戶合作,解決最終用途的碳排放問題,包括轉向低碳燃料,并探索其他業務多元化戰略。”

JPMorgan vows to help oil and gas clients reduce their carbon intensity
Global investment bank JPMorgan Chase, which is one of the largest financiers to the fossil fuel industry, has pledged to help its oil and gas clients cut their carbon intensity by 35% by 2030, it said May 13.
This is part of the US-headquartered bank's efforts to align its financing activities with the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.
It published 2030 carbon intensity targets for its clients in three of its portfolios -- oil and gas, electric power and auto manufacturing, as it plans to help them transition to a low-carbon world.
JPMorgan along with many other investment banks have come under pressure to reduce their funding for oil and gas businesses because of the large carbon footprint of such projects.
In its oil and gas portfolio, JPMorgan has pledged a 35% reduction in operational carbon intensity, as well as a 15% reduction in end-use carbon intensity – "reflecting a decrease in emissions from the combustion of oil and natural gas downstream and increase in renewable energy generation," it said in a statement.
The oil and gas targets cover its clients which are producers of oil and natural gas, as well as refiners and integrated companies.
It said it will work with clients to address methane leakage and flaring activity, in addition to encouraging shifts to renewable electricity to reduce operational emissions.
"[It] will also work with clients to address end-use emissions, including by shifting to lower-carbon fuels and exploring other business diversification strategies," the statement said.
