Uniper Aims To Become Climate Neutral By 2040 - Michael Hilmer
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 6. Uniper aims to become
climate neutral by 2040, the company's Vice President Michael
Hilmer said during a panel discussion themed "Gas Dialogue: The
Role of gas supply During the energy Crisis" at the 29th Baku
Energy Forum in Azerbaijan on June 6, Trend reports.
"Our company has clear climate goals. Germany aims to become
climate-neutral by 2045, and Uniper by 2040. However, gas remains
and will continue to be an important fuel for the transition
period. The question is, how long will this transition period
last?
We cannot provide an exact answer to this at the moment. Gas is
primarily consumed by industry. There are several significant
consumers in the heavy industry, particularly in the steel and
chemical sectors. However, it's important to note that not all
users fall into this category. It is quite feasible and
cost-effective in the foreseeable future. Hence, the industry will
continue to rely on natural gas for an extended period, making its
substitution a formidable undertaking," he pointed out.
Hilmer also mentioned that Uniper is holding a series of
negotiations during Baku Energy Week.
"We have been attending this conference for many years, and each
time it is a great opportunity to meet many well-known faces,
friends, and colleagues from the industry. The conference is always
well-organized, and this year's event is no exception," he
added.
