在2020年中国发展高层论坛上的讲话
阿敏·纳瑟尔，阿美总裁兼首席执行官
2020年11月11日
尊敬的各位阁下，各位嘉宾，女士们，先生们：
晚上好。
很遗憾由于新冠疫情，我们无法相聚北京。
中国在应对此次全球疫情时展现的国际领导力确实令人钦佩。
中国在坚决推动经济增长的同时持续采取强有力的抗疫措施。各国若能采取旗鼓相当的行动，相信我们很快就能再次会面畅叙。
2020年对全球所有人而言都是艰难的一年。
未来仍面临很大不确定性。它也提醒我们，国际社会面临一个无法回避的事实——可靠、价格合理且可持续的能源系统对于既促进经济繁荣、又满足社会预期具有至关重要的作用。
若要建设这样的系统，就需要清晰的愿景和确定可行的路径。因此，中国提出的2035年远景目标、习主席提出的“双循环”新发展格局以及中国到2060年实现碳中和，与我们产生了清晰的共鸣，而且上述战略及目标与“沙特愿景2030”以及近期G20能源部长论坛支持的“循环碳经济战略”高度契合。
阿美能够为实现上述战略目标做出独特而富有意义的贡献。
尤其是在并购了沙特基础工业公司（SABIC）之后，阿美具备了世界顶尖的化工实力，结合我们作为世界领先能源供应商的传统优势，现在我们能够向中国提供一站式服务。
我们已经准备好为中国在关键领域的自主发展做出贡献，与中国企业在国内开展合作、创造价值，推动创新引领、可持续增长。
比如，我们能助力中国在国内制造先进材料，以大宗石化产品和特殊化工产品制造先进复合材料，取代钢铁、金属及合金、混凝土等制造过程中产生高碳排放的材料。
我们在原油直接制成化工品等未来科技的研发方面处于领先地位，比如一项旗舰技术------我们与清华大学合作研发中的催化型原油制化工品工艺。
此外，我们也正在开发尖端的新型非金属材料，其制造过程更加低碳，将来可用于建筑、住房和可再生品等领域。
与此同时，阿美还能够对中国更清洁的经济增长做出重要贡献。沙特原油在上游生产环节的碳强度位列全球最低之一，这将非常有利于中国实现低碳目标。
如今，随着能源结构不断变化，新能源比例在缓缓上升。然而，传统能源仍将在未来数十年内继续发挥关键作用。因此，降低传统能源碳足迹已成为当今世界在经济和环境方面必须履行的一项职责。
为此，我们欢迎中国的专家和我们一道研究降低交通碳排放，并将二氧化碳转化为有用的产品。
比如，我们已经与清华大学汽车产业与技术战略研究院就提高燃料和发动机效率进行协作，还与中国领先的能源和汽车公司开展了合作。
我们正在进入国际天然气和液化天然气（LNG）领域，在此期间阿美也能提供过渡性燃料，帮助满足中国日益增长的清洁能源需求。
而最让人兴奋的，则是合作开发利用清洁未来燃料，如氢能和其它清洁化工燃料。事实上，我们近期刚刚出口了世界上第一批零排放发电的蓝氨。
女士们，先生们。数十年来，阿美一直是中国可靠的能源供应商，为中国的高速发展添砖加瓦。
双方的优势和发展要务一直高度契合。
今天，阿美公司不断发展壮大，中国也制定了新的战略重点。如今，阿美对中国的承诺和重视程度也达到了新的高度。
我们能为满足中国能源、化工产品需求所做的贡献，也越发明晰。
因此，我们期望能把握住这宏伟的契机，与中国的合作伙伴一道，向中国提供更多、更低碳的能源。
谢谢。
Aramco President and CEO Amin Nasser speaks at the China Development Forum 2020
Aramco President and CEO Amin Nasser has participated at the China Development Forum (CDF) held in Beijing from November 11 to 13. Mr. Nasser delivered a keynote speech via video at a panel session titled “The 14th Five-Year Plan Framework and Long-Term Targets for 2035”.
CDF is China’s most preeminent platform for dialogue between China’s senior leadership and representatives from global leading businesses, international organizations, and scholars from home and abroad. Aramco has maintained regular participation and sponsorship with forum over the past years.
The following is the full text of speech.
China Development Forum (CDF) Speech
by Amin H. Nasser
Saudi Aramco President & CEO
November 11, 2020 (virtual)
Session II: “The 14th Five-Year Plan Framework and Long-Term Targets for 2035”
Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
It is unfortunate that we cannot be together in Beijing because of Covid-19.
But the global leadership China has shown in tackling this global pandemic has been truly impressive.
If the rest of the world can match China’s determination to create economic momentum while continuing to take strong protective measures, then I am sure we will reunite far sooner.
For everyone around the world, 2020 has been a tough year.
A great deal of uncertainty still lies ahead.
It has also reminded the world of an unavoidable truth: that reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy systems are mission-critical to delivering economic prosperity and meeting society’s expectations.
Delivering those systems requires a clear vision and a pathway to success.
That is why China’s 2035 targets, together with President Xi’s inspirational Dual Circulation Strategy and goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, resonate loud and clear with us.
They align closely with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, and the Circular Carbon Economy approach recently endorsed by G20 Energy Ministers.
And Aramco can make a distinct and meaningful contribution to these strategic priorities.
In particular, our acquisition of SABIC with its world-class chemicals capabilities, combined with Aramco’s world-leading strength as an energy supplier, means we now offer a one-stop-source to China.
One that is ready to enhance China’s autonomy in vital areas, add value inside China working with Chinese companies, and help to generate innovative and sustainable growth.
For example, we can now offer China what it needs to produce advanced materials domestically.
From bulk petrochemicals and specialties to advanced composites which can substitute materials that emit a lot more carbon during the production phase such as steel, other metals and alloys, and concrete.
We are at an advanced stage of developing futuristic technologies that convert crude oil directly into petrochemicals, including our flagship Catalytic Crude to Chemicals process being piloted with Tsinghua University in Beijing.
And we are developing new, cutting-edge, non-metallic materials, whose production emits far less carbon, for use in sectors like construction, housing, and renewables.
Equally important is the significant contribution Aramco can make to China’s cleaner economic growth.
Our oil already has one of the lowest upstream carbon intensities in the world, which will help China with its lower carbon goals.
Meanwhile, as new energy technologies slowly grow their contribution in the evolving energy mix, existing energy sources will continue to play a key role for decades to come.
That is why improving their carbon footprint is now a key worldwide economic and environmental imperative.
We therefore welcome Chinese expertise to help us drive down emissions in transportation and turn CO2 into useful products.
We are already collaborating with the Tsinghua Automotive Strategy Research Institute on fuels and engine efficiency, and with leading Chinese energy and automotive companies.
We can also supply bridge fuels that will help meet China’s growing need for clean energy, as we expand into international gas and LNG.
Most exciting of all, there are opportunities to collaborate in the development and use of clean future fuels such as hydrogen and other chemicals-type clean fuels.
In fact, we recently exported the world’s first shipment of blue ammonia which will generate electricity with zero emissions.
Ladies and Gentlemen, for decades, Aramco has been a reliable supplier of China’s energy needs, supporting the rapid growth and development we see today.
Our strengths and priorities have always been a natural fit.
With Aramco’s even greater capabilities and China’s new strategic priorities, our commitment to China has never been stronger.
The contribution we can make to meet China’s energy and chemicals materials needs has never been clearer.
And the opportunities to supply more energy with less carbon to China, in collaboration with our Chinese partners, have never been more compelling.
Thank you.
