中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网1月31日报道，沙特能源大臣萨勒曼表示，到2030年，沙特阿拉伯将在低碳能源项目上投入约2700亿美元(1万亿里亚尔)，并补充说，沙特还将投资于电网现代化。
“我们决心成为氢的主要出口国，并为重工业的当地使用提供清洁的氢，以具有竞争力的价格生产绿色产品，如绿色钢铁、绿色铝、化肥和其他产品。”萨勒曼在王国总附加值论坛和展览上说。
这位能源大臣表示，沙特的最终目标将是成为一个电力出口国。为此，在利雅得的政府将致力于扩大该国的输电和配电网络。
尽管是世界上最大的石油出口国，但沙特阿拉伯已经表示，在低碳能源方面也有雄心。根据2030年愿景计划，沙特将力争到2030年将可再生能源在其能源结构中的比例提高到50%。另外的50%计划来自天然气，而不是石油，沙特目前大量使用石油来发电。
在风能和太阳能方面，沙特阿拉伯可能是世界上最雄心勃勃的能力建设目标之一。到2030年，沙特将拥有约58吉瓦的风能和太阳能发电能力，而目前还不到1吉瓦。
沙特公用事业公司ACWA Power首席执行官帕迪•帕德马纳坦(Paddy Padmanathan)去年向英国《金融时报》表示：“是的，这是雄心勃勃的计划，(但)在亚洲最大国家很快就完成了，在印度也取得了重大进展。”他说：“资金并不短缺，采购方也有承诺。供应链是一个挑战，但并非不可克服。”

Saudi Arabia To Invest $270 Billion In Clean Energy
Saudi Arabia will spend some $270 billion (1 trillion riyals)>“We are determined to be the leading exporter of hydrogen, as well as to provide clean hydrogen for local uses in heavy industries to produce green products such as green steel, green aluminum, fertilizers, and others at competitive prices,” bin Salman said, speaking at the in-Kingdom Total Value Add Forum and Exhibition, as quoted by Al Arabiya.
The ultimate goal for the kingdom, the energy minister said, would be to become an electricity exporter. It is to this end that the government in Riyadh would aim to expand the country’s transmission and distribution network.
Despite its status as the world’s largest oil exporter, Saudi Arabia has signaled it has ambitions in low-carbon energy as well. Under its Vision 2030 program, the kingdom would aim to boost the share of renewable energy in its mix to 50 percent by that year. The other 50 percent is planned to come from natural gas rather than oil, which is what the kingdom uses in massive amounts currently to generate electricity.
In wind and solar, Saudi Arabia has perhaps>“Yes, it’s ambitious, [but] it’s been done in a heartbeat in the biggest country in Asia, it’s been done on a significant basis in India,” Paddy Padmanathan, the chief executive of Saudi utility ACWA Power, told the FT last year. “Money is not in short supply [and] the commitment is there from the procurer. The supply chain, yes it’s a challenge, but it’s not insurmountable.”
