據油價網5月31日消息稱，總部位于法國的超級能源巨頭道達爾能源計劃在美國建立一個大型工廠來生產合成天然氣——這個項目將受益于法規中的稅收抵免。

道達爾能源周三宣布的這一消息，對歐盟領導綠色能源技術的雄心來說是一個新的打擊。

今年早些時候，歐盟公布了綠色交易工業計劃，以提高歐洲凈零排放產業的競爭力。但為了吸引清潔能源和清潔能源技術方面的投資，歐盟和英國都在努力效仿美國的經濟激勵措施。

因此，道達爾能源現在與歐洲的樹木能源解決方案公司(TES)合作，在美國研究和開發一個大規模的e-NG生產裝置。e-NG是一種由可再生氫和二氧化碳產生的合成氣體。

兩家公司預計該項目將受益于美國當前法律規定的稅收抵免。

道達爾能源和TES將進行初步研究，目標是在明年達成最終投資決定(FID)。

據《每日電訊報》報道，該項目預計投資約20億美元。

這家法國超級巨頭表示，如果繼續推進，該項目預計每年將生產10萬至20萬噸e-NG。

TotalEnergies Plans Synthetic Natural Gas Plant In The U.S.

France-based supermajor TotalEnergies plans to build a large-scale plant to produce synthetic natural gas in the United States—a project which will benefit from tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act.

The announcement from one of Europe’s biggest oil and gas firms on Wednesday is a fresh blow to the European Union’s ambitions to lead in green energy technologies.

The EU unveiled earlier this year its Green Deal Industrial Plan to boost the competitiveness of Europe's net-zero industry. But both the EU and the UK have struggled to match the incentives in the IRA in the United States in order to attract investment in clean energy and clean energy technologies.

As a result, TotalEnergies is now teaming up with Europe-based Tree Energy Solutions (TES) to study and develop a large-scale production unit in the United States for e-natural gas (e-NG), a synthetic gas produced from renewable hydrogen and CO2.

The companies expect the project to benefit from tax credits under the IRA.

TotalEnergies and TES will carry out the preliminary studies and aim to reach a Final Investment Decision (FID) next year.

The project investment is expected to be around $2 billion, according to The Telegraph.

If moved forward, the project is expected to produce 100,000 to 200,000 metric tons of e-NG per year, the French supermajor said.
