Sempra董事长兼首席执行官杰弗里•马丁在2022年能源智能论坛上欧洲面临着一系列不同的挑战, 包括正在进行的乌克兰战争, 全球能源领导人齐聚伦敦,参加世界能源峰会 能源智能论坛. 讨论的话题从最新的市场动态到 供应的担忧 并需要关键的新 投资 建立一个更干净,更安全的 全球能源系统. 在会议上,还举行了主题领导对话 杰弗里•马丁他概述了美国航空日益重要的作用 液化天然气 (LNG)在帮助满足 能源安全 满足欧洲和亚洲贸易伙伴的需求.

U.S. LNG:安全性和可持续性

Martin 表示乐观 那就是美国.S. 能在提供服务方面胜过全球同行吗 低排放液化天然气 未来几十年的出口. 目前,包括Sempra基础设施在内的液化天然气运营商已经做到了这一点 追求更清洁的技术 such as 电动驱动器, 碳捕获 和氢. Martin also noted that the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act provides further incentives for these 投资 while advancing the broader policy goal of reducing U.S. 到2030年,排放量比2005年减少40%.

“我们认为 随着液化天然气领域的发展,肯定会发挥重要作用。. “As we 建立新的出口设施, we are planning ahead with a view toward leveraging common areas in development to allow us to more cost-effectively bring 氢 into the mix further down the line.”

另外, Sempra是 a founding partner of a methane e任务s measurement and tracking initiative called Veritas to certificate e任务s. Working with upstream producers to certify feed gas and cargoes as low-e任务 creates another opportunity for the U.S. 以进一步向进口美国天然气的国家展示其作为可持续发展领导者的地位.S. LNG.

“创新和开发新技术应被视为领导机会”马丁说。. “从现在到2030年, 在接下来的几十年里, we expect America to compete aggressively to deliver a lower e任务s profile across the LNG value chain compared to other international alternatives.”

绿色电子和绿色分子

森普拉是其中一个 最大的能源网络 在北美,大约有30万英里 传输与分配 assets. 尽管Sempra的 运营公司 不以任何重要的方式产生能量, 该公司的网络向美国消费者提供的能源比任何其他公用事业公司都多. 在很多方面, 这就是为什么我们如此不懈地专注于继续使我们提供的能源脱碳,马丁分享道.

加州, 哪个国家是世界第五大经济体, 这是一个典型的例子,说明某些地区已经在实现可持续发展方面取得了重大进展 脱碳 future. 圣地亚哥天然气 & 电力公司Sempra是可再生能源领域公认的领导者. Also, by 2030, 预计加州将逐步停止销售新的汽油动力汽车, 这将推动 电气化 of the transportation sector with the associated build out of charging infrastructure and vehicle-to-grid power systems.

“在Sempra, 我们将尽力使我们所服务的社区的各个方面都电气化, 但我们也认识到,有些地区很难实现电气化, like 重型运输,以及某些商业和 工业过程”马丁说。.

这个缺口可以通过清洁分子来填补,比如绿色氢. 马丁与观众分享了森普拉的子公司, 南加州天然气公司他已经制定了建立一个 主要氢气枢纽 为大洛杉矶地区服务. Today, Los Angeles is home to the nation’s largest manufacturing base and two of the busiest container ports in America. Serving manufacturing and heavy-duty trucking needs through cleaner fuel sources is increasingly recognized as a critical success factor in delivering a low carbon future.

构建未来的能源网络

By 2030, Martin expects exports of American LNG will more than double with the principal benefit of reducing the market’s reliance on coal for power production. 同时大力发展可再生能源和电力 电池存储在美国,全球能源结构有可能在本十年末进行重大改革.

“It’s exciting to see the United States has made a decision to take an affirmative leadership role in transitioning to a lower carbon and more sustainable society”马丁说。. “在森普拉,我们致力于尽自己的一份力量.”
