据烃加工新闻4月20日消息称，埃克森美孚公司在周二的一份报告中表示，预计到2050年，用于捕获二氧化碳并将其储存在地下的市场将达到4万亿美元。
据美国最大的原油生产商估计，届时石油和天然气市场规模将达到6.5万亿美元，这一数字约为60%。
据国际能源署（IEA）称，碳捕获是一项重要的减排技术。它包括从燃料燃烧或工业过程中捕获二氧化碳，通过船舶或管道将其运输，并将其储存在地下地质构造中或用作生产产品的资源。
随着政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)等国际机构将碳捕获和储存技术视为缓解全球变暖影响的关键，大型石油公司一直在投资使碳捕获和储存(CCS)成为相关业务。
埃克森美孚面临着公众要求其减少总排放量的压力，因为其能源转型战略不包括太阳能和风能等可再生能源。该公司最近聘请了Dan Ammann，从5月1日开始领导其低碳业务，他曾领导通用汽车公司的Cruise自动驾驶部门直到12月。
美国石油生产商西方石油公司正在开发世界上最大的从空气中提取二氧化碳的项目，此前估计碳捕获市场在可能成为一个价值 3万亿-5万亿美元的全球产业。该公司首席执行官Vicki Hollub在3月份的一次会议上表示，这项技术为西方石油公司带来的收益和现金流可能与目前在油气行业的收益相当。

Exxon Sees Carbon Capture Market at $4 Trillion by 2050
Exxon Mobil Corp. estimates there will be a $4 trillion market by 2050 for capturing carbon dioxide and storing it underground, the company said in a presentation on Tuesday.
That is about 60% of the $6.5 trillion market the U.S. largest crude producer estimates for oil and gas by then.
Carbon capture is an important emissions reduction technology, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). It involves the capture of CO2 from fuel combustion or industrial processes, transporting it via ship or pipeline, to be stored underground in geological formations or used as a resource to create products.
Large oil companies have been investing to make carbon capture and storage (CCS) a relevant business as international bodies such as Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) point the technology as key to mitigate the effects of global warming.
Exxon is under public pressure to reduce its total emissions as its energy transition strategy does not include renewable sources of energy like solar and wind. It has recently hired Dan Ammann, who led the Cruise self-driving unit of General Motors Co. until December, to lead its Low Carbon business starting on May 1.
U.S. oil producer Occidental Petroleum, developing the world's largest project to extract CO2 from the air, has previously estimated CCS could become a $3-5 trillion global industry. The technology could generate as much in earnings and cash flow for Occidental than oil and gas today, CEO Vicki Hollub said at a conference in March.
