中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工网3月6日报道，雪佛龙（Chevron Corp）和塔洛斯能源公司（Talos Energy Inc）周一表示，他们已将拟议的墨西哥湾碳捕集和储存中心的规模扩大两倍。
他们的合资企业包括Carbonvert Inc，计划收集和掩埋得克萨斯地区石化、水泥、钢铁和其他工业企业客户的温室气体。收购的成本未披露。
所谓的Bayou Bend中心是雪佛龙在全球碳捕获、利用和封存(CCUS)方面的最大投入之一，到2050年，这个市场可能会达到数万亿美元。
雪佛龙CCUS副总裁Chris Powers在咨询机构标普举办的CERAWeek能源会议上对记者表示，“市场是巨大的。为了实现《巴黎协定》的宏伟目标，我们将大规模开展CCUS，拥有多个这样的中心”。
第一次注入预计在2026年左右。塔洛斯首席可持续发展官罗宾·菲尔德(Robin Fielder)表示，时间将取决于监管程序和客户需求。
高管们表示，该集团将开始寻找长期客户，包括那些希望使用与制氢相关的CCUS的客户。
该合资企业在现有的4万英亩土地上增加了近10万英亩(405平方公里)的陆上土地。扩大后的区域可以储存超过10亿吨的温室气体。
他们表示，该协议将他们的Bayou Bend枢纽定位为该地区难以减少的工业排放的碳存储地点，该地区是美国最大的工业走廊之一。
到2028年，雪佛龙将在包括CCUS和氢燃料在内的低碳企业投资100亿美元。该公司负责氢业务的副总裁奥斯汀·奈特(Austin Knight)在会议上表示，该公司正在投资开发氢运输技术，包括通过氨运输。
他称，虽然制氢技术已经存在，但用于大规模运输而言，该技术仍处于早期阶段。
