據油氣工程9月15日消息稱，英國石油公司和微軟公司同意作為戰略合作伙伴，進一步推進能源系統的數字化轉型，實現兩家公司的凈零碳目標。

BP負責區域、城市和解決方案的執行副總裁William Lin表示：“BP決心實現凈零排放并幫助世界做到這一點。沒有人能單槍匹馬做到這一點——與像微軟這樣有共同抱負的領先公司合作，將是實現這一點的關鍵。通過將我們互補的技能和經驗結合在一起，我們不僅彼此幫助實現的脫碳目標，而且還為其他人減少碳排放創造了機會。”

微軟全球商業業務執行副總裁Judson Althoff表示：“BP與我們分享了對未來零碳的愿景，我們承諾共同努力減少碳排放，并滿足新可再生能源的需求。這樣的戰略合作伙伴關系使每個組織都可以利用其獨特的專業知識來進行行業領先的變革，并有可能對全球數十億人的生活產生積極影響。”

今年早些時候，BP宣布希望到2050年或更早成為凈零排放公司，并幫助世界達到凈零排放。到本十年末，它的目標是發展約50吉瓦的可再生凈發電量，比以前的水平增長20倍，年度低碳投資增加10倍到50億美元，石油和天然氣產量減少了40％。在2020年1月，微軟宣布了到2030年實現碳負排放的目標，并在2050年之前從環境中去除的碳超過其自成立以來的排放量。

BP and Microsoft form digitalisation partnership

BP and Microsoft Corp. have agreed to collaborate as strategic partners to further digital transformation in energy systems and advance the net zero carbon goals of both companies.

“BP is determined to get to net zero and to help the world do the same. No one can do it alone – partnerships with leading companies like Microsoft, with aligned ambitions, are going to be key to achieving this,” said William Lin, BP executive vice president for regions, cities & solutions. “By bringing our complementary skills and experience together, we are not only helping each other achieve our decarbonisation ambitions but also creating opportunities to support others on their journey towards reducing carbon emissions.”?

“BP shares our vision for a net zero carbon future, and we are committed to working together to drive reductions in carbon emissions and fulfil demand with new renewable energy sources,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president of Microsoft’s Worldwide Commercial Business. “A strategic partnership such as this enables each organisation to bring its unique expertise for industry-leading change and the potential to positively impact billions of lives around the world.”?

Earlier this year, BP announced its ambition to become a net zero emissions company by 2050 or ?sooner, and to help the world reach net zero. By the end of the decade, it aims to have developed ?around 50 gigawatts of net renewable generating capacity – a 20-fold increase on what it has ?previously developed, increased annual low carbon investment 10-fold to around US$5 billion and cut oil ?and gas production by 40%. In January 2020, Microsoft announced its goal to be carbon negative by ??2030 and remove more carbon from the environment than it has emitted since its founding by 2050.
