据路透社1月15日报道称，随着全球石油消费量突破1亿桶/天的大关，阿布扎比国家石油公司（ADNOC）正在加强其在环境管理方面的领导作用和承诺，并巩固其作为油气行业温室气体（GHG）排放量最低国之一的地位。

在应对全球能源需求不断增长的同时，ADNOC 正在投资采取新措施以减少其对环境的影响。它计划到2023年将温室气体排放量进一步减少10％，大幅增加碳捕获，利用和储存（CCUS）技术的使用，减少饮用水的使用，并减少送往垃圾填埋场的废物量。

作为减少燃烧的区域领导者，ADNOC正越来越多地利用先进技术，大数据和人工智能（AI）来提高运营效率和提高绩效，从而进一步限制其运营对环境的影响。

根据石油和天然气生产商国际协会（IOGP）2017年环保工作报告，ADNOC跻身最低温室气体排放国前五名，低于行业平均水平的一半，为3968万吨二氧化碳当量，同时该国也是拥有最低甲烷浓度为0.01％的国家之一。与此同时，自1995年以来，ADNOC已将天然气燃烧量减少了72％以上。

ADNOC strengthens its position as one of the lowest greenhouse gas emitters in the oil and gas industry

As global oil consumption crosses the 100-million-barrels-per-day mark, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is reinforcing its leadership role and commitment to environmental stewardship, as it strengthens its position as one of the oil and gas industry’s lowest emitters of greenhouse gases (GHG).

While addressing rising global energy demand, ADNOC is investing in new measures to reduce its environmental footprint. It plans to further reduce GHG emissions by up to 10 percent by 2023, substantially increase its use of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technology, reduce its use of potable water and cut the volume of waste sent to landfill sites.

A regional leader in flare reduction, ADNOC is increasingly taking advantage of advanced technologies, big data and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive operational efficiencies and enhance performance, which, in turn, will further limit the impact of its operations on the environment.

According to the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) Environmental Performance Report for 2017, ADNOC ranked in the top five lowest GHG emitters, with less than half the industry average, at 39.68 million tCO2e, and has one of the lowest methane intensities of 0.01 percent. At the same time, ADNOC has reduced the volume of natural gas flared by more than 72 percent since 1995.
