据烃加工新闻7月22日消息称，以色列最大的炼油和石化集团——石油精炼公司计划投资15亿美元成为一家清洁能源公司，因为该公司面临着政府推动关闭更多污染工厂的压力。

　　以色列提议关闭沿海城市海法的一个主要工业区，卫生官员称该工业区多年来一直是危险的，并将其改造成一个生态友好的商业和居住中心。

　　反过来，该国将更加依赖进口。尚未作出最终决定。

　　控制着国内燃料市场约三分之二的海法石油精炼公司反对此举。但该公司新的 10 年计划似乎更符合政府的愿景。

　　在提交给投资者和分析师的计划中，石油精炼公司表示将专注于绿色氢和替代燃料用于交通工具、先进的可回收和生物降解聚合物，以及生物聚合物。

　　它表示，至少将投资 4 亿美元用于“新增长引擎”，其余用于“改进和调整现有资产，吸收先进技术以创造和减少碳足迹”。

　　海法是以色列的第三大城市和重要的海港，从海岸线延伸到地中海东部，在过去的一个世纪里已经发展成为贸易和工业的十字路口。

　　Refining and petrochemicals group shifts to cleaner energy

　　Israel’s largest refining and petrochemicals group, Oil Refineries plans to invest $1.5 billion to become a cleaner energy company as it faces a government push to shut down more polluting factories.

　　Israel has proposed shutting a major industrial zone in the coastal city of Haifa that health officials say has been hazardous for years and turning it into an eco-friendly commercial and residential hub.

　　The country would in turn rely more heavily on imports. No final decision has been made.

　　Haifa-based Oil Refineries, which controls about two-thirds of the domestic fuel market, has opposed the move. But the company's new 10-year plan seems to bring it more in line with the government's vision.

　　In the plan presented to investors and analysts, Oil Refineries said it will focus on green hydrogen and alternative fuels for transportation, advanced polymers that are recycled and biodegradable, and biopolymers.

　　At least $400 million will be invested in "new growth engines" and the rest is for "improving and adapting existing assets, assimilating advanced technologies to create and reducing the carbon footprint," it said.

　　Haifa, Israel’s third largest city and a key seaport, juts off the coastline into the eastern Mediterranean and has grown over the past century into a crossroads for trade and industry.
