???? 据2月26日offshore energy消息：美国石油巨头雪佛龙通过旗下一家子公司启动了价值3亿美元的未来能源基金II，该基金专注于提供更清洁能源的技术。

????其子公司雪佛龙科技风险投资公司(CTV)推出了未来能源基金II，这是CTV自1999年成立以来推出的第八个风险基金。

????CTV还有一个核心能源基金，该基金投资的技术有可能通过运营增强、数字化和低碳运营对雪佛龙的核心业务产生重大影响。

????首个未来能源基金于2018年推出。CTV投资了10多家公司，另有150多家投资者支持碳捕获、新兴移动和能源存储领域的创新。

????雪佛龙表示，未来能源基金II将在首个未来能源基金成功的基础上，重点关注工业脱碳、能源分散化和不断增长的循环碳经济。

????雪佛龙创新副总裁兼技术风险总裁Barbara Burger表示:“我们将继续采取有意义的行动来应对全球能源转型带来的挑战和机遇。"

????“令我们感到自豪的是，我们的第二个未来能源基金有潜力通过帮助行业和客户建设低碳未来，使能源和全球供应链更具可持续性。”

????就在上个月，雪佛龙通过未来能源基金(Future Energy Fund)向总部位于圣何塞的Blue Planet Systems Corporation进行了C轮投资。Blue Planet Systems是一家生产和开发碳化硅聚烯烃和碳捕获技术的初创公司，旨在降低工业运营中的碳排放强度。

????在最近的财经新闻中，雪佛龙公布了2021年140亿美元的有机资本和勘探支出计划，并将其长期指导方针降低至2025年前每年140亿至160亿美元。

????Chevron invests $300 million in low-carbon technology

????U.S. oil major Chevron has, through one of its subsidiaries, launched a $300 million-worth Future Energy Fund II focused on technologies that would enable cleaner energy for all.

????The subsidiary, Chevron Technology Ventures (CTV), launched Future Energy Fund II which is the eighth venture fund launched since CTV was established in 1999.

????Chevron Technology Venture also has a Core Energy Fund which invests in technologies with the potential to have a significant impact on Chevron’s core business through operational enhancements, digitalization and low-carbon operations.

????Chevron is also an investor as a limited partner in funds such as the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative’s (OGCI) Climate Investments and Emerald Technology Ventures’ Industrial Innovation Fund.

????The first Future Energy Fund was launched back in 2018. CTV invested in more than 10 companies with more than 150 other investors supporting innovations in carbon capture, emerging mobility, and energy storage.

????Chevron stated that Future Energy Fund II would build upon the success of the first Future Energy Fund with a focus on innovation in industrial decarbonization, energy decentralization, and the growing circular carbon economy.

????Barbara Burger, VP of innovation and president of technology ventures at Chevron, said: “We continue to take meaningful actions to address the challenges and opportunities of the global energy transition.

????“I’m proud that our second Future Energy Fund has the potential to make energy and global supply chains more sustainable by helping industries and our customers build a lower-carbon future”.

????Just last month, Chevron made a Series C investment through the Future Energy Fund in San Jose-based Blue Planet Systems Corporation, a startup that manufactures and develops carbonate aggregates and carbon capture technology intended to reduce the carbon intensity of industrial operations.

????In recent financial news, Chevron revealed a 2021 organic capital and exploratory spending program of $14 billion and lowered its longer-term guidance to $14 to $16 billion annually through 2025.
