Lundin offsets future carbon from Sverdrup crude sales

摘要

Sweden's Lundin Energy said June 16 it had made its first sale of "carbon neutral" Johan Sverdrup crude oil and all its future sales of the crude would be certified carbon neutral by an independent certification provider. Lundin is one of a number of companies promoting 'carbon neutral' crude oil, typically involving some element of carbon offsetting from forestry or other green projects. It made its first sale of carbon neutral crude, from the Edvard Grieg field, in April. The company holds a 20% stake in the giant Johan Sverdrup field, which it discovered in 2010-11 and came on stream in October 2019, meaning that, with the latest announcement, 20% of Sverdrup production will be carbon neutral.
