据油价网6月24日报道，埃克森美孚公司首席执行官伍兹本周在接受CNBC记者法伯采访时表示，该公司希望将碳捕获和存储的税收抵扣从目前的每吨50美元增加到100美元，以此作为激励碳捕获和存储（CCS）项目的一种手段。
埃克森美孚的高管认为，直接从大气中捕获二氧化碳可能是清洁能源技术的“圣杯”。
“如果你能克服其中的一些技术障碍，降低成本，那么你就拥有了一种可以以非常经济高效的方式解决这个问题的技术。”伍兹告诉CNBC。
埃克森美孚表示，CCS是“少数经过验证的技术之一，有可能显著减少某些难以脱碳的行业（如制造业和重工业）的排放”。
然而，这家美国石油和天然气巨头表示，有必要出台新的政策，刺激以这样的速度和规模部署CCS所需的投资。埃克森提出的这些政策包括：将碳价从目前的每吨50美元提高到100美元左右，将合格期限从目前的12年延长到30年，并取消开始建设CCS项目的最后期限。埃克森美孚还表示，美国能源部的项目可以为CCS基础设施提供资金支持。
埃克森美孚去年承诺，到2027年将投资150多亿美元用于降低温室气体排放。这些举措包括投资减少公司运营中的排放，并推进碳捕获和存储、氢和生物燃料等技术，这些技术预计将在未来几十年发展成数万亿美元的市场。
伍兹在上月的埃克森股东大会上表示：“长期来看，我们拥有投资组合的灵活性，以使我们的投资与技术、市场和支持性政策的进步保持一致。”

Exxon Calls For Higher Carbon Pricing
ExxonMobil would like to see the tax credit for carbon capture and storage increased to $100 per ton from the current $50 per ton, as a means to incentivize carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, the supermajor’s chief executive Darren Woods told CNBC’s David Faber in an interview this week.
Exxon’s top executive believes that direct air capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere could be “the holy grail” in clean energy technology.
“If you can overcome some of those technology hurdles, get your cost down, you’ve got a technology then that can address this in a very cost-efficient way,” Woods told CNBC.
ExxonMobil says that CCS is “one of the few proven technologies with the potential to significantly reduce emissions from certain hard-to-decarbonize sectors, such as manufacturing and heavy industry.”
The U.S. oil and gas major, however, says that new policies are necessary to spur the investment required to deploy CCS at such a pace and scale. Those policies suggested by Exxon include a rise in the value of carbon to around $100 per metric ton from the current $50, extending the eligibility period to 30 years from current 12 years, and eliminating the deadline for starting construction of a CCS project. Exxon also says that the U.S. Department of Energy programs could provide financial support for CCS infrastructure.
Exxon pledged last year to invest more than $15 billion through 2027 on initiatives to lower greenhouse gas emissions. The initiatives include investments to reduce emissions from company operations and to advance technologies like carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and biofuels, which together are expected to develop into multi-trillion-dollar markets in the coming decades.
“Long-term, we have the portfolio flexibility necessary to pace our investments consistent with advancements in technology, markets and supportive policy,” Woods said at Exxon’s shareholders’ meeting last month.
