bneGREEN:拜登與土庫曼斯坦官員“嚴肅的會談”遏製大量甲烷排放Satellite-observed土庫曼斯坦甲烷排放量在2019年至今。/ Kayrros SAS;2023年包含修改哥白尼數據bne IntelIiNewsMay 31日美國官員據報道嚴重與土庫曼同行在氣候危機的協議將幫助土庫曼斯坦抑製其龐大super-pollutant甲烷的排放。彭博社5月31日報道了密封這一協議的進展與遠程中亞國家,指出一個協議可以被視為一個重大突破在全球對抗氣候變化和作為美國總統的外交突破喬·拜登。土庫曼斯坦的甲烷泄漏是如此巨大,他們超過英國每年的碳排放量,衛星數據由Kayrros 5月初《衛報》透露。4月下旬bne IntelliNews報道關於美國國務卿安東尼布林肯提出的問題時巨大的甲烷泄漏,當他會見土庫曼斯坦外長梅列多夫在華盛頓討論美國States-Turkmenistan雙邊關係在兩國年度磋商。如果US-Turkmen努力處理甲烷排放與莫斯科同意將爐篦,這是對任何美國在中亞的影響力增長的後院。但這樣的交易將意味著一些急需的好消息對甲烷排放團體爭取更快的對全球變暖采取行動。他們認為土庫曼斯坦天然氣泄漏時擺弄。這筆交易可以看到美國提供財政支持和技術,幫助中亞獨裁封堵漏洞,使溫室氣體——80倍比二氧化碳對氣候變暖的影響在20年的地平線——從土庫曼斯坦噴出的化石燃料基礎設施老化,據美國國務院高級官員和彭博援引熟悉談判情況的人士稱。 There is said to be optimism that an agreement will be reached within months. That would enable Washington and Ashgabat to announce it before the United Nations COP28 climate summit that starts in November, with work perhaps under way at pilot sites by the end of the year. Experts have said that most of the leaks could be fixed relatively easily and quickly if Turkmenistan provides access. Potential fixes include relighting extinguished flares, replacing old equipment and upgrading oil well operations. The current state of affairs means that around 7% of Turkmenistan’s gas is going to waste, the quoted US State Department officials said, citing estimates from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and World Bank. Bloomberg also reported: “Capturing more of Turkmenistan’s gas would still produce CO2 emissions when it’s eventually combusted for energy. But the overall global warming impact would be much lower. If all the gas that’s leaked or vented by Turkmenistan’s energy sector was salvaged and burned instead, it would have roughly the same effect as wiping out about 92mn tonnes of CO2 each year, according to calculations by Bloomberg Green. That’s about twice the total amount of carbon that can be captured from smokestacks globally today.” “It adds to the fire a bit to get countries moving on this,” Jonathan Banks, global director of methane pollution prevention at the Clean Air Task Force, a climate group that advocates for the curbing of methane emissions, was reported as saying by the news agency. “Algeria needs to see this and go: ‘OK, Turkmenistan got boatloads of money and all this technical assistance and support to do this, we should be doing that too [with our methane difficulties].’” To continue viewing our content you need to complete the registration process.
