中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网5月18日消息称，埃克森美孚在与美国证券交易委员会的通信中表示，到2050年全球实现二氧化碳净零排放的可能性很遥远。

埃克森美孚表示，国际能源署（IEA）的2050年净零排放并未“达到我们财务报表中需要考虑的可能性水平”，并补充称，到2050年，全球尚未实现净零排放。埃克森美孚还警告称，将能源产量削减至低于消费水平将推高能源价格，就像欧洲那样。

IEA表示，为了达到2050年的目标，所有新的石油勘探必须在2021年停止，各国必须放弃化石燃料，转而使用可再生能源。

埃克森美孚表示：“社会极不可能接受永久实现IEA NZE这样的情景所需的全球生活水平下降。”该公司指出，根据IEA自己的评估，2050年实现净零排放的可能性不大。

这些声明是为了回应埃克森美孚股东提案而发表的，该提案将要求报告放弃项目的成本。该提案将于本月底进行投票。

埃克森美孚表示：“所要求的报告显然不会提供对决策有用的新信息。”

尽管埃克森美孚反对股东提案，IEA也对其净零排放方案充满热情，但埃克森美孚首席执行官Darren Woods在3月份表示，该公司的低碳业务有潜力在10年内超越其传统的石油和天然气业务，产生数千亿美元的收入。

然而，由于缺乏经济可行性，埃克森美孚在同月取消了长达14年的藻类生物燃料项目。

Chances Of World Reaching Net-Zero By 2050 Unlikely: Exxon

The likelihood of the world reaching net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 is remote, Exxon said in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission communication.

The IEA"s 2050 Net Zero Emissions does not "meet the level of likelihood required to be considered in our financial statements," Exxon said, adding that the world is not on its way toward achieving net zero by 2050. Exxon also cautioned that cutting energy production to levels that fall below consumption would push energy prices higher, like in Europe.

The IEA has said that all new oil exploration would have to have stopped in 2021 in order to reach the 2050 target, and countries would have to ditch fossil fuels in favor of renewables.

"It is highly unlikely that society would accept the degradation in global standard of living required to permanently achieve a scenario like the IEA NZE," Exxon said, pointing out that by the IEA"s own assessment, Net Zero 2050 is unlikely.

The statements were made in response to an Exxon shareholder proposal that would request a report on how much it would cost to abandon projects. The proposal is set to be voted on at the end of this month.

"The requested report clearly would not provide new, decision-useful information," Exxon said.

Despite the pushback from Exxon on the shareholder proposal and the IEA"s zeal for its Net Zero scenario, Exxon"s CEO Darren Woods said in March that the company"s Low Carbon business has the potential to outperform its legacy oil and natural gas business within a decade, generating hundreds of billions in revenues.

Nevertheless, ExxonMobil scrapped its 14-year-old algae biofuels project in the same month due to the project"s lack of economic viability.
