Chevron using photovoltaic reducing oil production costs

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: according to July 24, sunny kern valley in California, solar panels, solar portal, chevron using the state of a clean energy plan to reduce the drilling cost.

the company said, since April this year, solar panels have been for chevron nissan 7981 barrels of oil pump power supply. The 29 mw power station by Goldman sachs renewable energy co. , LTD. ( 高盛(Goldman Sachs)) Its Solar Star Lost all renewable energy co. , LTD. , aims to provide 80% of its electricity for oilfield, equivalent to reduce carbon emissions more than 4000 cars. In exchange, chevron will get the so-called low carbon fuel standard credit lines, calculated at current prices, worth about $4 million a year.

chevron spokesman Veronica Flores Paniagua said: & other; Electricity is Lost Hills oil field one of the largest operating expenses, therefore has solar energy will be an important factor that helps to reduce the cost, and maintain the oilfield life of the plan. ”

with the passage of time, the cost of renewable energy & other; A sharp & throughout; Drop, solar portal, solar equipment, make its application in oil field is more economic, solar portal, chevron pipeline and electric power company, general manager of renewable energy Telisa Toliver said in an interview & other; We hope to replicate this business model. ”

chevron's largest solar oilfield & other; 失去的山” Project marks the state for 10 years, the fate of the low carbon fuel standard plan appeared unusual twist. The goal of a carbon trading scheme is a 20% cut in global emissions by 2030, its main purpose is to use ethanol and biodiesel instead of gasoline and diesel. But also started to benefit the local oil company, environmentalists say, a development that could damage the project plans to introduce more renewable fuel.

Brian, director of the center for biological diversity of California's climate policy & middot; Wikipedia ( 布莱恩Nowicki) Said: & other; We should not put solar panels on oil drilling platform, and should put solar panels in more solar panels, and this is the way we really start to make the transition to clean energy. ”

more than ten for years, California has been dominant in the face of climate change and the reality of one of the largest producer in the United States, fossil fuels are still dominated by California energy structure, use most of the oil tanker is imported from distant from Saudi Arabia and Iraq.

since early June, the California air resources board approved the three fields of solar energy projects, chevron project is one of them. These companies include Grade Water and Power, LLC, E& B natural resources management and Rotterdam Ventures Inc. They are benefiting from the plan early to join a regulation & ndash; — Allow oil miner by solar or carbon capture and storage, such as the so-called & other; Innovation of crude oil production method & throughout; Access to credit.

before June, since 2016, only two other projects & ndash; — By Seneca resources companies and Holmes won LCFS credit Western oil companies, the two projects are involved in the oil field to use solar energy.
