据管道油气杂志5月5日消息，切尼尔能源公司和壳牌公司合作，从切尼尔的萨宾关口液化设施向欧洲运送了一批碳中性的液化天然气（LNG）货物。
两家公司合作，通过使用基于自然的补偿，抵消了与这批液化天然气货物相关的整个生命周期的温室气体排放，以说明从生产到最终消费者使用的整个价值链中产生的估计二氧化碳当量的排放（所有范围2）。
使用的碳信用是从壳牌的全球自然项目组合中购买的，切尼尔公司购买的部分是与船上交货点上游活动相关的估计二氧化碳当量排放，包括生产和液化。
基于自然的项目保护、改造或恢复土地，使大自然增加氧气，并从大气中吸收更多的二氧化碳排放。每个碳补偿都要经过第三方验证程序，代表着避免或消除1吨二氧化碳。这些项目对当地社区也有额外的好处，如资助新学校或淡水供应。
"我们非常高兴与Cheniere公司在这个机会上合作，"壳牌能源部执行副总裁史蒂夫-希尔说。"很高兴看到更多生产商抵消其温室气体排放，以满足对碳中性液化天然气日益增长的需求。在我们寻找更多的方法来减少整个液化天然气价值链的排放时，使用高质量的自然抵消来补偿无法避免或减少的排放是一个重要的步骤。"
"在Cheniere，我们专注于测量、减少和缓解排放，Cheniere的这批碳中和货物突出了我们在整个LNG价值链中测量和缓解排放的努力，"Cheniere执行副总裁兼首席商务官Anatol Feygin说。"我们感谢与壳牌公司在这项工作中的合作，感谢我们对改善环境绩效和最大限度地提高Cheniere公司液化天然气的气候效益的互利承诺。"
向低碳能源的未来过渡需要全球能源系统的一系列解决方案，从发电到工业和运输。液化天然气通过为这些部门提供现成的天然气来源而发挥作用，它带来的好处是作为最清洁的碳氢化合物，产生的温室气体排放量是煤炭的一半，空气污染物不到煤炭的十分之一。
为了使LNG脱碳，需要拉动所有杠杆。低排放的LNG生产、甲烷管理和使用碳捕获和储存（CCS）技术都是降低价值链排放的不同方法。在这些技术规模化发展的同时，我们今天能做的是利用最优质的自然抵消来补偿LNG价值链上的排放。

Cheniere and Shell collaborate to deliver carbon-neutral US LNG to Europe
Cheniere Energy and Shell have collaborated to deliver a carbon-neutral liquified natural gas (LNG) cargo to Europe from Cheniere’s Sabin Pass Liquefaction Facility.
The companies worked together to offset the full lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with the LNG cargo by retiring nature-based offsets to account for the estimated carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions produced through the entire value chain, from production through use by the final consumer (all scopes2).
Credits used were purchased from Shell’s global portfolio of nature-based projects with Cheniere purchasing the portion attributable to estimated CO2e emissions associated with activities upstream of the Freight on Board (FOB) delivery point, including production and liquefaction.
Nature-based projects protect, transform or restore land and enable nature to add oxygen and absorb more CO2 emissions from the atmosphere. Each carbon offset is subject to a third-party verification process and represents the avoidance or removal of 1 tonne of CO2e. These projects also have additional benefits for local communities, such as funding new schools or fresh water supplies.
“We are very happy to be collaborating with Cheniere on this opportunity,” said Steve Hill, Executive Vice President, Shell Energy. “It is great to see more producers offsetting their GHG emissions to meet the increasing demand for carbon-neutral LNG. Using high quality nature-based offsets to compensate for emissions that cannot be avoided or reduced is an important step as we find more ways to reduce emissions across the LNG value chain.”
“At Cheniere, we’re focused on measuring, reducing and mitigating emissions, and this first carbon-neutral cargo for Cheniere highlights our efforts to measure and mitigate emissions throughout the LNG value chain,” said Anatol Feygin, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer of Cheniere. “We are thankful for our collaboration with Shell in this effort and for our mutually beneficial commitments to improving environmental performance and maximising the climate benefits of Cheniere’s LNG.”
The transition to a low-carbon energy future requires a range of solutions across the global energy system, from electricity generation to industry and transport. LNG plays its role by providing a readily available source of gas for use in these sectors, bringing the benefits of being the cleanest-burning hydrocarbon, producing half the greenhouse gas emissions and less than one-tenth of the air pollutants of coal.
To decarbonise LNG, all levers will need to be pulled. Lower-emission LNG production, methane management and using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are all different ways to lower emissions along the value chain. While these technologies develop at scale, what we can do today is to use the best quality nature-based offsets to compensate for emissions along the LNG value chain.
