埃克森美孚与印度大学合作研究低排放技术

中国石化新闻网讯 据石油和天然气管道新闻10月17日报道，埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)已与位于马德拉斯(Madras)和孟买(Bombay)的印度理工学院(Indian Institute of Technology)签署了合作协议，进一步扩大了与印度大学的广泛研究合作。

这份为期五年的协议重点关注生物燃料和生物产品、天然气运输和转化、气候和环境以及电力和工业部门的低排放技术。这些协议将把这些研究所的专业领域与埃克森美孚的研究结合起来。

这些合作是埃克森美孚与80多所大学、5个能源中心和多个私营部门合作伙伴建立的一系列创新、低排放研究项目的最新进展。自2000年以来，该公司已投入100亿美元开发和部署低排放的能源解决方案。

埃克森美孚研究与工程公司研发副总裁Vijay Swarup表示：“这些协议将让我们更好地了解如何在印度推进和应用技术，并开发出突破性的低排放解决方案，并在全球范围内产生影响。”

印度马德拉斯理工学院工业咨询和赞助研究学院院长Ravindra Gettu教授表示:“马德拉斯理工学院致力于在能源、化工和废物管理领域提供可持续的解决方案，我相信我们与埃克森美孚的合作能够实现这些目标。”

最近，埃克森美孚与印度理工学院以及印度领先的智库——能源、环境和水委员会(Council for Energy, Environment and Water)联合进行了一项研究，重点关注与印度电力行业相关的生命周期温室气体(GHG)排放。该研究考察了印度未来20至30年的电力需求增长预测，并比较了国内煤炭和从美国进口的液化天然气(LNG)发电的相关排放。报告发现，进口到印度的液化天然气的平均生命周期温室气体排放量比印度煤炭的温室气体排放量大约低54%。

ExxonMobil expands technology research with universities in India

ExxonMobil has signed agreements with the Indian Institute of Technology locations in Madras and Bombay, further expanding its extensive portfolio of research collaboration with India’s universities.

The five-year agreements focus on progressing research in biofuels and bio-products, gas transport and conversion, climate and environment, and low-emissions technologies for the power and industrial sectors. The agreements will partner the institutes’ areas of expertise with ExxonMobil’s research.

These collaborations are recent additions to a series of partnerships ExxonMobil has established to progress innovative, lower-emissions research programs with more than 80 universities, five energy centers and multiple private sector partners. The company has spent $10 billion since 2000 developing and deploying lower-emissions energy solutions.

“These agreements will give us a better understanding of how to progress and apply technologies in India, and develop breakthrough lower-emissions solutions that can make a difference globally,” said Vijay Swarup, vice president of research and development at ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company.

"IIT Madras is committed to providing sustainable solutions in the energy, chemicals and waste management sectors, and I am confident about our collaboration with ExxonMobil to achieve these goals," said Professor Ravindra Gettu, dean of industrial consultancy and sponsored research of IIT Madras.

Recently, ExxonMobil conducted a joint study with IIT Bombay and the Council for Energy, Environment and Water, a leading India-based think-tank, focusing on the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with India’s power sector. The study looked at India’s projected electricity demand growth over the next 20 to 30 years and compared emissions associated with power generated by domestic coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG) imported from the United States. It found that, on average, life cycle GHG emissions from LNG imported into India are approximately 54 percent lower than those associated with India coal.
