欧盟在能源安全担忧之际力推全球甲烷规则

By

-- 欧盟能源专员丹·约根森周二表示,欧盟正在加大力度遏制全球能源供应链中的甲烷排放。他认为,减少这种强效温室气体的排放不仅对实现气候目标至关重要,对能源安全也同样重要。 约根森在七国集团甲烷行动活动上发表讲话时指出,持续的能源危机暴露了欧洲对进口化石燃料的严重依赖,凸显了发展更清洁、国产能源的必要性。 约根森说:“当前的能源危机鲜明地提醒我们,欧洲对进口化石燃料的依赖程度过高,而我们未来的发展方向是更多地发展本土能源。” 他呼吁欧盟解决与能源进口相关的排放问题,并指出全球范围内仍有大量天然气被浪费。 国际能源署估计,到2024年,全球将有超过3500亿立方米的天然气因燃烧、排放和泄漏而损失。约根森表示,这一数字“令人警醒”,表明全球能源系统效率低下。 他指出:“每一立方米的泄漏都会加剧全球变暖,而不是影响家庭;它会降低作物产量,而不是降低价格;它会削弱能源主权,而不是增强能源主权。”他还补充说,甲烷减排和能源安全应被视为“同等重要的优先事项”。 约根森发表上述言论之际,正值中东冲突爆发后,欧洲持续调整其能源战略,这场冲突已扰乱了全球市场。 欧盟的《甲烷排放法规》引入了关于排放计量、报告和核查的约束性规则,该法规将适用于欧盟国内市场和进口能源。 欧盟委员会计划发布建议,阐明如何在复杂的供应链中实施这些规则,以及如何在不扰乱供应的情况下实施处罚。 与此同时,约根森表示,欧洲各国部长支持采取务实的做法,以确保该法规不会威胁能源安全或贸易流动。 他强调,甲烷减排工作必须是全球性的,并指出联合国环境规划署的“油气甲烷伙伴关系2.0”等框架是排放透明度的标杆。 欧盟还鼓励更广泛地参与其与加拿大共同牵头的“全球甲烷承诺”,并支持其他倡议,例如英国在联合国气候变化框架公约第30次缔约方大会(COP30)前发表的一份旨在大幅减少化石燃料行业甲烷排放的声明。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of First Quantum Minerals

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We decrease our 12-month target price by CAD5 to CAD40, on an EV/EBITDA of 8.0x our 2027 EBITDA estimate, a discount to FM's three-year average forward EV/EBITDA of 10.6x but close to peers, with an average of 8.3x. We lower our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.33 to $0.53 and 2027 by $0.22 to $1.95. FM faces near-term cost pressures from Middle East tensions, with fuel representing 15% of total costs and potential upward pressure of $0.25/lb on C1 guidance (fuel +$0.20, Kwacha +$0.10, partially offset by gold -$0.05). However, the company's fundamentals remain strong with authorization to process Cobre Panama stockpiles (30-40kt copper expected in 2026), Kansanshi S3 operating 25% above design, and record nickel production at Enterprise. FM strengthened its balance sheet with a $1.5B 10-year bond at 6.375% and extended maturities to 2036. The Taca Taca project (291kt/year copper over first 10 years, 19.3% IRR) provides significant long-term growth optionality once the balance sheet is positioned to support development.
