據(jù)油價網(wǎng)1月31日報道，沙特能源大臣薩勒曼表示，到2030年，沙特阿拉伯將在低碳能源項目上投入約2700億美元(1萬億里亞爾)，并補充說，沙特還將投資于電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化。

“我們決心成為氫的主要出口國，并為重工業(yè)的當(dāng)?shù)厥褂锰峁┣鍧嵉臍?，以具有競爭力的價格生產(chǎn)綠色產(chǎn)品，如綠色鋼鐵、綠色鋁、化肥和其他產(chǎn)品。”薩勒曼在王國總附加值論壇和展覽上說。

這位能源大臣表示，沙特的最終目標(biāo)將是成為一個電力出口國。為此，在利雅得的政府將致力于擴大該國的輸電和配電網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

盡管是世界上最大的石油出口國，但沙特阿拉伯已經(jīng)表示，在低碳能源方面也有雄心。根據(jù)2030年愿景計劃，沙特將力爭到2030年將可再生能源在其能源結(jié)構(gòu)中的比例提高到50%。另外的50%計劃來自天然氣，而不是石油，沙特目前大量使用石油來發(fā)電。

在風(fēng)能和太陽能方面，沙特阿拉伯可能是世界上最雄心勃勃的能力建設(shè)目標(biāo)之一。到2030年，沙特將擁有約58吉瓦的風(fēng)能和太陽能發(fā)電能力，而目前還不到1吉瓦。

沙特公用事業(yè)公司ACWA Power首席執(zhí)行官帕迪?帕德馬納坦(Paddy Padmanathan)去年向英國《金融時報》表示：“是的，這是雄心勃勃的計劃，(但)在亞洲最大國家很快就完成了，在印度也取得了重大進展。”他說：“資金并不短缺，采購方也有承諾。供應(yīng)鏈?zhǔn)且粋€挑戰(zhàn)，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) on low-carbon energy projects by 2030, energy minister Abdulaziz bin Salman said, adding the Kingdom will also invest in modernizing its grid.

“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 one of the most ambitious capacity-building targets in the world. In 2030, the kingdom should have some 58 GW of wind and solar energy capacity, which would compare with less than 1 GW currently.

“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.”
