Shell Backs Climate Technology Start-up for Emissions Reduction: Report
The company claims this method is particularly cost-effective, leveraging the high temperatures within industrial furnaces and boilers to minimize the additional energy needed compared to other capture technologies.Shell PLC (NYSE:SHEL), along with ENI S.p.A. (NYSE:E), reportedly have spearheaded an initial funding round for Boston-based climate technology start-up Mantel Capture.
據報道，殼牌公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：SHEL）和埃尼股份公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：E）率先爲總部位於波士頓的氣候技術初創公司Mantel Capture進行了第一輪融資。
Mantel Capture is developing a method to use molten salts to capture carbon dioxide emissions from refineries, factories, and other industrial sites, reported Reuters.
路透社報道，Mantel Capture正在開發一種使用熔鹽捕獲煉油廠、工廠和其他工業場所排放的二氧化碳的方法。
Mantel aims to extract 95% of carbon from smokestack emissions using molten salts.
Mantel的目標是使用熔鹽從煙囪排放中提取95％的碳。
The company claims this method is particularly cost-effective, leveraging the high temperatures within industrial furnaces and boilers to minimize the additional energy needed compared to other capture technologies.
該公司聲稱，與其他捕獲技術相比，這種方法特別具有成本效益，它利用工業熔爐和鍋爐內的高溫來最大限度地減少所需的額外能源。
As per the report, the $30 million secured in the Series A round will enable Mantel to construct a demonstration project at a paper mill capable of capturing 1,800 metric tons of emissions annually—about ten times the half ton per day achieved in their laboratory tests.
根據該報告，A輪融資中獲得的3000萬美元將使Mantel能夠在一家造紙廠建造一個示範項目，該項目每年能夠捕獲1800公噸的排放量，大約是其實驗室測試中每天半噸排放量的十倍。
The report quoted Mantel CEO Cameron Halliday saying in an interview, "This is a technology that could radically change the energy industry, but there is still risk to what we're doing."
該報告援引曼特爾首席執行官卡梅隆·哈利迪在接受採訪時說：「這項技術可能會從根本上改變能源行業，但我們的所作所爲仍然存在風險。」
Halliday added, "At a scale of hundreds of thousands to millions of tons, Mantel could theoretically capture carbon at about $30 to $50 a ton, making it economically viable in many countries offering either incentives for carbon capture or taxing emissions, and far below competing systems."
哈利迪補充說：「從理論上講，以數十萬至數百萬噸的規模，Mantel可以以每噸約30至50美元的價格捕獲碳，這使得它在許多國傢俱有經濟可行性，既可以提供碳捕集激勵措施，也可以對排放徵稅，遠低於競爭系統。」
As per the report, Hector MacQuarrie, a principal at Shell Ventures, noted that Shell will monitor pilot projects before fully committing to the technology.
根據該報告，殼牌風險投資公司負責人赫克託·麥格理指出，殼牌將在完全投入該技術之前對試點項目進行監測。
However, he also mentioned that this technology could significantly advance carbon capture for industries that are difficult to decarbonize.
但是，他還提到，這項技術可以顯著促進難以脫碳的行業的碳捕集。
Investors can gain exposure to Shell via Macquarie ETF Trust Macquarie Energy Transition ETF (NYSE:PWER) and VanEck Natural Resources ETF (NYSE:HAP).
投資者可以通過麥格理ETF信託麥格理能源轉型ETF（紐約證券交易所代碼：PWER）和VanEck自然資源ETF（紐約證券交易所代碼：HAP）獲得殼牌敞口。
Price Action: SHEL shares are down 0.28% at $68.32 at the last check Thursday.
價格走勢：在週四的最後一次檢查中，SHEL股價下跌0.28％，至68.32美元。
