中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网5月29日报道，印度最大的油气生产商、国有油气勘探公司——印度石油天然气公司(ONGC)正寻求扩大其可再生能源投资组合，并计划在绿色项目上投资120亿美元。

据彭博社报道，ONGC董事长Arun Kumar Singh在周一的新闻发布会上表示，到2030年，ONGC的运营组合将从3月底的189兆瓦增加到1万兆瓦，即10吉瓦。

他在新闻发布会上表示：“2040年，印度对化石燃料的需求将继续增长，但与此同时，我们必须加大对绿色能源的努力。”

“我们必须这样做，这样两个领域才能共存。”他补充说。

彭博社本月早些时候援引印度中央电力局的报道称，尽管印度大力发展风能和太阳能发电，但至少在2030年之前，印度仍将严重依赖燃煤发电。

印度煤炭部长曾在2022年底表示，该国无意在短期内将煤炭从其能源结构中剔除。

他在议会委员会发表讲话时表示，至少到2040年，煤炭将继续在印度发挥重要作用，煤炭是一种负担得起的能源，印度对煤炭的需求尚未达到峰值。

印度石油天然气公司是印度最新一家致力于投资可再生能源领域的大型能源公司。

去年初，印度综合企业信实工业(Reliance Industries)公司表示，未来15年将在印度的绿色能源项目上投资高达760亿美元。信实工业公司早在一年前就宣布了一项承诺，将在三年内向一个新的业务部门投资100多亿美元，该部门将建设太阳能组件、电池存储、电解槽和燃料电池工厂。

India’s Largest Oil And Gas Company To Invest $12 Billion In Renewables

Indian state-held oil and gas explorer, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), the biggest oil and gas producer in the country, is looking to boost its renewable energy portfolio and plans $12 billion in investment in green projects.

ONGC looks to have as much as 10,000 megawatts, or 10 GW, in its portfolio of operations by 2030, up from just 189 MW at the end of March, ONGC’s chairman Arun Kumar Singh said at a press conference on Monday, as carried by Bloomberg.

“India will continue to grow in fossil fuel demand until 2040, but at the same time we have to step up our efforts for green energy,” Singh said during the press briefing.

“We have to do this so that both the worlds can co-exist,” he added.

Despite its push into wind and solar electricity generation, India is set to remain heavily reliant on coal power at least until 2030, Bloomberg reported earlier this month, citing the country’s Central Electric Authority.

India’s coal minister said at the end of 2022 that the country has no intention of ditching coal from its energy mix any time soon.

Addressing a parliamentary committee, Coal Minister Pralhad Joshi said that coal would continue to play an important role in India until at least 2040, referring to the fuel as an affordable energy source for which demand has yet to peak in India.

ONGC is the latest big energy firm in India to commit to investments in the renewable energy sector.

Early last year, India’s oil-to-telecoms conglomerate Reliance Industries said it would invest as much as $76 billion in green energy projects in India over the next 15 years. Reliance Industries already announced the year prior a commitment to invest more than $10 billion in three years in a new business unit that would build solar module, battery storage, electrolyzer, and fuel cell factories.

This year in March, Indian Oil Corp, the country’s top refiner and fuel retailer, said it would consolidate all its green energy businesses into a wholly-owned unit with the purpose of boosting its clean energy division.
