据油气新闻1月17日消息称，国际能源署(IEA)周四在对加拿大能源政策的评估中表示，加拿大是全球第四大石油生产国，若能信守大幅减排的承诺，该国未来数年将成为全球主要石油供应国。
这是国际能源署自2015年以来的首次评估报告，报告指出，该国作为主要能源生产国、消费国和出口国的角色，为实现其脱碳目标带来了“挑战和机遇”。
加拿大承诺，到2030年将碳排放量在2005年的基础上削减40%至45%，到2050年实现净零排放。能源占加拿大国内生产总值(gdp)的10%，其大部分温室气体排放来自石油和天然气行业。
IEA负责人法提赫·比罗尔赞扬了加拿大迄今为止为减少温室气体排放所做的努力，但表示还需要进一步的工作。
比罗尔在一次新召开的会议上表示:“在应对气候挑战方面，加拿大绝对是所有石油生产国中的佼佼者。我们希望看到这些战略得到实施。”
比罗尔说，世界将需要石油和天然气，即使目标是到2050年实现净零排放，他希望这些生产来自那些计划尽可能清洁生产的可靠国家，比如加拿大。
自然资源部部长乔纳森·威尔金森表示，加拿大需要减少排放强度和化石燃料的消耗。
威尔金森说:“加拿大需要确保减少自己的排放，并提供将继续使用的产品，使排放强度尽可能低。”
为了加快石油和天然气行业的脱碳进程，国际能源署呼吁采取强有力的行动遏制甲烷排放，并加快能源技术创新的速度。

IEA says Canada can be key global oil supplier if emissions promises kept
Canada, the world’s fourth-largest oil producer, can be a key global supplier for years to come providing it sticks to promises to sharply cut emissions, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday in a review of the country’s energy policies.
The IEA review, the first since 2015, noted the country’s role as a major producer, consumer and exporter of energy presented “both challenges and opportunities” for reaching its decarbonization targets.
Government has pledged to cut carbon output 40% to 45% below 2005 levels by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Energy makes up 10% of Canada’s gross domestic product and the majority of its greenhouse gas emissions come from the oil and gas sector.
IEA Director Fatih Birol praised Canada’s efforts so far to cut greenhouse gas emissions but said further work was needed.
“Canada is definitely in the top league of all those oil-producing countries when it comes to addressing our climate challenge,” Birol told a new conference. “We want to see those strategies being implemented.”
Birol said the world will need oil and gas even while aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050, and he would like that production to come from reliable countries with plans to produce it as cleanly as possible, like Canada.
Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said Canada needed to reduce both emissions intensity and consumption of fossil fuels.
“Canada needs to ensure that it’s driving down its own emissions and is providing products that will continue to be used, that are the lowest emissions intensity possible,” Wilkinson said.
To speed up decarbonization of the oil and gas sector, the IEA called for strong action to curb methane emissions and accelerate the rate of innovation in energy technology.
