中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)管道&天然氣雜志網(wǎng)8月8日?qǐng)?bào)道，挪威政府周二表示，盡管當(dāng)?shù)赜蟹磳?duì)聲音，但挪威已經(jīng)批準(zhǔn)了將Equinor的Hammerfest液化天然氣工廠接入該國(guó)國(guó)家電網(wǎng)發(fā)電網(wǎng)絡(luò)的計(jì)劃，以減少溫室氣體排放。
該計(jì)劃包括到2030年關(guān)閉挪威最大的二氧化碳單一來(lái)源天然氣發(fā)電廠，并用可再生能源占主導(dǎo)地位的電網(wǎng)供電取而代之。
挪威首相在挪威北極LNG工廠前舉行的新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上表示，這對(duì)挪威北部建筑業(yè)和創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)說(shuō)是個(gè)重要日子，對(duì)氣候控制來(lái)說(shuō)也是重要日子。
據(jù)Equinor估計(jì)，在西歐最大的液化天然氣工廠，這項(xiàng)措施每年可減少約85萬(wàn)噸二氧化碳排放量，約占挪威年總排放量的2%。
然而，由于該計(jì)劃被認(rèn)為與綠色工業(yè)發(fā)展、不斷上漲的電價(jià)以及原住馴鹿牧民的權(quán)利相沖突，當(dāng)?shù)厝藢?duì)此一直存在爭(zhēng)議。
政府表示，漢默費(fèi)斯特電廠計(jì)劃中的電力轉(zhuǎn)換也必須在2030年進(jìn)行，比原計(jì)劃晚了兩年。
挪威議會(huì)此前曾要求政府考慮采取其他方式減少碳排放，比如在天然氣廠捕獲二氧化碳，并注入地下永久儲(chǔ)存。
Equinor及其合作伙伴計(jì)劃投資總計(jì)132億克朗（13億美元）用于電氣化和升級(jí)該工廠，將其運(yùn)營(yíng)期延長(zhǎng)約10年。
被稱為Melkoeya的Hammerfest液化天然氣每年可以輸送65億立方米的天然氣，足以滿足約650萬(wàn)歐洲家庭的能源需求。
該發(fā)電廠由Equinor擁有36.79%的股份，國(guó)有企業(yè)Petoro擁有30%的股份，法國(guó)道達(dá)爾能源擁有18.40%的股份，海王星能源擁有12%的股份，Wintershall Dea擁有2.81%的股份。
海王星能源正在被瓦爾能源公司(Vaar Energi)收購(gòu)。

Norway Approves Connection of Western Europe's Largest LNG Plant to Grid
Norway has approved a plan to connect Equinor's Hammerfest LNG plant to the national power grid in a bid to cut greenhouse gas emissions, despite local opposition, the government said on Tuesday.
The plan includes shutting down a gas power plant, Norway's largest single source of carbon dioxide, by 2030 and replacing it with power supply from the grid where renewable energy dominates.
"This is an important day for building industry and creating jobs in northern Norway, and for the climate," Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told a news conference held in front of the LNG plant in Arctic Norway.
Equinor estimates the measure at Western Europe's largest LNG plant could save around 850,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, or about 2% of Norway's total annual emissions.
The plan, however, has been contentious with locals due to its perceived clash with green industry development, rising power prices as well as the rights of Indigenous Sami reindeer herders.
To ease voters' concerns ahead of local elections in September, the center-left government has pledged to support the development of new renewable power sources in its northernmost region and the building of new power lines to offer more grid connections.
The planned power switch at the Hammerfest plant would also have to take place in 2030, two years later than previously planned, the government said.
Norway's parliament has previously asked the government to consider an alternative way to cut carbon emissions, such as capturing CO2 at the gas plant and injecting it underground for permanent storage.
Equinor and its partners plan to invest a total of 13.2 billion crowns ($1.30 billion) to electrify and otherwise upgrade the plant, extending its operations by about 10 years.
Hammerfest LNG, also known as Melkoeya, can deliver 6.5 billion cubic meters (Bcm) of gas per year, enough to cover energy demand for about 6.5 million European homes.
Equinor has a 36.79% stake, while state-owned Petoro has 30%, French TotalEnergies has 18.40%, Neptune Energy has 12% and Wintershall Dea has 2.81%.
Neptune is in the process of being acquired by Vaar Energi.
