据能源世界网4月9日伦敦报道，根据荷兰皇家壳牌公司提供的数据显示，该公司的温室气体排放量在2019年降至四年来的最低水平。
与此同时，根据数据显示，壳牌上游石油和天然气业务中未使用天然气的燃烧量去年增长13.5%。
该工公司称，燃烧量的增加主要是由于澳大利亚大型海上Prelude液化天然气工厂的启动过程中，燃烧量出现了“意外飙升”。
这家英荷能源公司(Anglo-DutchEnergyCompany)提出了一个目标，即到2050年将其销售的能源产品
碳强度较2016年的水平减半。
今年早些时候，壳牌还制定了短期目标，较2016年将其
碳足迹减少3%至4%。
壳牌公司的净碳足迹（即温室气体排放量与销售产品总能量的比率）2019年比上一年下降约1％，这也是2016年以来的首次下降。
该公司的首席执行官Ben van Beurden在周二发布的公司可持续发展报告中表示，随着时间的推移，我们将继续改进我们的方法。
科学家们称，今年疫情影响对
运输燃料的需求空前下降可能导致自第二次世界大战以来
碳排放量的最大降幅。

Shell's carbon emissions drop in 2019 to four-year low
Royal Dutch Shell's greenhouse gas emissions declined in 2019 to their lowest in four years, according to data provided by the energy company.
At the same time, burning of unused natural gas in Shell's upstream oil and gas operations, a process known as flaring, rose last year by 13.5 per cent, the data showed.
The increase in flaring was due mostly to an "unanticipated spike" in flaring during the start-up of the giant offshore Prelude liquefied natural gas plant in Australia, it said.
The Anglo-Dutch energy company has laid out an ambition to halve the carbon intensity of energy products it sells by 2050 from their 2016 levels.
Earlier this year, Shell also set short-term targets to reduce its carbon footprint by 3 per cent to 4 per cent from 2016.
Shell's net carbon footprint, a ratio of greenhouse gas emissions to the combined energy of products sold, declined by around 1 per cent in 2019 from the previous year, in what was also the first drop since 2016.
"We will continue to evolve our approach over time," Chief Executive Officer Ben van Beurden said in the company's sustainability report, released on Tuesday.
An unprecedented drop in demand for transportation fuels following the outbreak of the coronavirus this year could lead to the biggest drop in carbon emissions since World War Two, scientists said.
