据路透社奥斯陆报道，Equinor（挪威国家石油公司）周五表示，将投资近50亿挪威克朗（合5.49亿美元）建造浮动涡轮机，为北海几个油气平台供电，此举将使该公司减少碳排放。

Equinor表示，这项名为Hywind Tampen的项目，由11台涡轮机组成88兆瓦发电能力，将满足Gullfaks油田和Snorre油田约35%的电力需求。

该项目将使Equinor海上设施燃气轮机排放的二氧化碳每年减少约20万吨，相当于每年10万辆汽车排放的二氧化碳。

尽管Equinor去年提出了Hywind Tampen项目的初步计划，但是在周五才决定继续投资，费用估计数与2018年的预测数相比没有变化。

挪威政府在今年早些时候同意提供23亿克朗的财政支持，此外，该行业NOx基金也提供了5.66亿克朗。

Equinor在这两份许可证中的合作伙伴为挪威国有企业Petoro、奥地利能源集团OMV、日本石油集团Idemitsu、Wintershall Dea公司、意大利埃尼旗下子公司Vaar Energi以及埃克森美孚。

上个月，埃克森美孚已同意将其股份出售给挪威，包括Snorre油田许可证，出售给Vaar Energi。

Equinor to invest nearly $550 million in floating wind power off Norway

Equinor said on Friday it will invest nearly 5 billion Norwegian crowns ($549 million) to build floating turbines to supply power to several North Sea oil and gas platforms, in a move that will allow the Norwegian firm to cut carbon emissions.

The 88 megawatt (MW) capacity project, called Hywind Tampen, consisting of 11 turbines, would meet about 35% of electricity needs at the Gullfaks and Snorre fields, Equinor said.

The project will allow Equinor to reduce CO2 emissions from gas turbines on offshore installations by about 200,000 tonnes per year, an equivalent of emissions from 100,000 cars every year, it added.

Though Equinor had presented preliminary plans for the Hywind Tampen project last year, the decision to go ahead with the investment was only made on Friday. The cost estimate was unchanged from projections made in 2018.

The Norwegian government earlier this year agreed to provide 2.3 billion crowns in financial support, in addition to 566 million crowns provided by the industry’s NOx fund.

Equinor’s partners in the two licenses are state-owned Petoro, OMV, Idemitsu, Wintershall Dea [WINT.UL], Eni’s subsidiary Vaar Energi and Exxon Mobil.

Last month, Exxon had agreed to sell its stakes off Norway, including in the Snorre license, to Vaar Energi.
