据路透社6月27日报道，埃克森美孚周四表示，将与Global Thermostat公司合作，试图将碳捕捉技术推广到工业规模。

这是埃克森美孚最新的低碳投资，该公司的气候政策一直受到批评。埃克森美孚没有透露该项目的成本。

总部位于纽约的全球恒温器公司使用一种名为胺的化学物质，从工业设施的烟气中或直接从大气中捕捉和浓缩二氧化碳。

这些公司希望将小规模测试的技术带到大型工业工厂，埃克森美孚研究与工程公司研发部副总裁维贾伊·斯瓦卢普说。

其中一个目标是在埃克森美孚的炼油和化工厂等工业基地试点该技术。斯瓦卢普说:“在这些系统中，有许多含有二氧化碳的气体。

埃克森美孚5月还表示，未来10年将与美国能源部(U.S. Department of Energy)的两家实验室合作，投入至多1亿美元进行研究，将低排放技术推向商业规模。

Exxon to partner with carbon capture firm

Exxon Mobil Corp on Thursday said it would partner with Global Thermostat to try to bring carbon capture technology to industrial scale.

It is the latest low-carbon investment for Exxon, which has come under criticism for its climate policies. Exxon did not say what the project would cost.

New York-based Global Thermostat's technology uses chemicals called amines to capture and concentrate carbon dioxide from flue gas at industrial facilities or directly from the atmosphere.

The companies hope to take technology tested on a small scale and bring it to large industrial plants, said Vijay Swarup, vice president of research and development for ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company.

One goal is to pilot the technology at an Exxon industrial site such as refining and chemical plants. "In many of those systems you have a CO2-containing gas," said Swarup.

Irving, Texas-based Exxon in May also said it would spend as much as $100 million over 10 years on research with two U.S. Department of Energy laboratories to bring lower-emissions technologies to commercial scale.
