据道琼斯休斯顿3月11日消息,全球一些顶级石油企业高管计划在本周举行的一次重要行业会议上呼吁采取行动,并表示企业需要积极应对令投资者望而生畏的气候变化和技术担忧。
日益高涨的气候激进主义、新技术和投资者的不安情绪令全球能源行业变得更加谨慎,并产生了分歧。这一形势料将奠定IHS举办的剑桥能源周(CERAWeek)活动基调,该活动每年在休斯顿举行一次,活动的主题通常是全力捍卫化石燃料。
挪威能源巨头Equinor首席执行长Eldar Saetre预计将在周一的一次演讲中表示,该行业正面临一场“信心危机”。英国石油公司(BP)首席执行长达德利也计划在周二晚间的演讲中呼吁该行业采取更多行动,应对气候变化的新要求,即便能源使用量继续上升。

DJ Top Oil Execs Call for Change as Climate, Technology Concerns Threaten Industry
Some of the world's top oil executives plan a call to action at a premier industry conference this week, arguing that companies need to actively address climate change and technology concerns that are scaring investors away.
Rising climate activism, new technology and investor unrest have chastened and divided the global energy industry, a development set to define the CERAWeek by IHS conference, an annual gathering here that is usually dominated by a full-throated defense of fossil fuels.
The industry is facing a "crisis of confidence," Eldar Saetre, chief executive of Norwegian energy giant Equinor ASA, is expected to say in a speech Monday . BP PLC Chief Executive Bob Dudley is similarly planning in a Tuesday evening speech to call for the industry to do more to respond to new demands for climate action, even as energy use continues to rise.
