據(jù)彭博新能源財(cái)經(jīng)(BNEF)8月11日報(bào)道,世界上最大的國際石油公司(IOC)在2015年至2020年間出售了超過1980億美元的資產(chǎn),是清潔能源技術(shù)投資的四倍多。
資產(chǎn)出售的收益被用于投資新的化石燃料項(xiàng)目、償還債務(wù)或支付股息。此前,油價(jià)疲軟,從2014年每桶近115美元的高位跌至2020年每桶28美元以下。
歐洲國際石油公司明顯有別于美國同行。挪威國家石油公司(Equinor)是其中唯一一家清潔能源投資超過資產(chǎn)出售收益的公司。
盡管埃克森美孚、雪佛龍和康菲石油的資產(chǎn)出售數(shù)額很高,但它們在清潔能源領(lǐng)域的投資總額僅為7.57億美元,僅占撤資收益的1%。出售的大部分資產(chǎn)位于歐洲,這表明投資者和政策壓力可能推動國際石油公司做出出售資產(chǎn)的決定。BNEF預(yù)計(jì),脫碳戰(zhàn)略將導(dǎo)致更多資產(chǎn)出售收益轉(zhuǎn)向清潔技術(shù)。

Big Oil’s $198B Divestment Windfall Outpaces Green Spend
The world’s largest international oil companies, or IOCs, sold over $198 billion of assets between 2015 and 2020, over four times the amount they invested into clean energy technologies.
The proceeds of asset sales were instead used to invest in new fossil fuel projects, to pay down debt, or to pay dividends. This was at a time when oil prices weakened, falling from a high of almost $115 per barrel in 2014, to below $28 in 2020.
European IOCs notably diverged from their U.S. peers. Equinor was the only IOC to see clean energy investment outstrip divestment proceeds.
Despite high levels of divestment from ExxonMobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips, they collectively invested just $757 million in clean energy, only 1% of the divestment proceeds. Most assets sold were located in Europe, indicating that investor and policy pressure to decarbonize may be driving IOCs decisions to offload assets. BNEF anticipates that decarbonization strategies will lead to more sales proceeds being redirected into clean technologies.
