據世界石油網站5月5日消息 道達爾做出更大的承諾，在2050年前消除大部分碳排放，同時由于原油價格暴跌，限制在石油和天然氣項目上的支出。

盡管隨著疫情冠狀病毒對燃料需求的打擊，利潤大幅下降，但這家法國公司仍承諾加大對清潔能源的投資，這說明投資者和社會對石油巨頭施加了持久的壓力，要求它們應對長期的環境挑戰。

在經歷了一輪疲弱的第一季度盈利后，石油巨頭被迫大幅削減開支、抑制生產，甚至在某些情況下減少股息。隨著公共衛生危機摧毀了全球多達三分之一的能源需求，未來數月情況可能會更糟。

該公司首席執行官帕特里克周二發表聲明說：“該集團在負責任地應對短期挑戰的同時，繼續實施其中長期戰略。”

巴黎時間上午10點22分，道達爾股價上漲6%，至32.32歐元，幾乎是法國基準指數漲幅的三倍。

Total pledges to be carbon neutral by 2050

otal SA set out bolder commitments to eliminate most of its carbon emissions by 2050, while curbing spending on oil and gas projects due to the crude-price slump.

The French company’s commitment to invest more in clean energy, despite a sharp drop in profit as the coronavirus hammers fuel demand, illustrates the enduring pressure on oil giants from investors and society to tackle long-term environmental challenges.

After a weak round of first-quarter earnings, oil supermajors have been forced to slash spending, curb production and even reduce their dividends in some cases. It could get worse in the months ahead as the public health crisis destroys as much as a third of global energy demand.

“While responsibly taking on the short-term challenges, the group continues to implement its medium and long-term strategy,” Chief Executive officer Patrick Pouyanne said in a statement on Tuesday.

Total’s shares rose 6% to 32.32 euros at 10:22 a.m. in Paris, almost three times the gain in France’s benchmark index.
