Marcellus/Utica地区：PA议员吹捧碳捕获法案；美国其他地区：壳牌扩大了美国领导地位，多佛发展

MARCELLUS/UTICA REGION: A state lawmaker from Greater Williamsport, PA Senator Gene Yaw, serving five north-central Pennsylvania counties, is pushing a carbon capture bill in 2025 to address critical environmental and energy issues, as reported by the Williamsport Sun-Gazette. The legislation, championed by Yaw (chairman of state Senate Environmental Resources & Energy Committee), aims to establish carbon capture hubs and enhance electric grid reliability through increased generation focus. Yaw argues that a robust economy is essential for environmental progress, linking economic strength to sustainable energy solutions. This initiative reflects a broader strategy to tackle statewide challenges like grid stability and emissions reduction, emphasizing practical measures to balance economic and ecological needs. The bill’s progress is seen as a step toward integrating advanced technologies into Pennsylvania’s energy framework, potentially setting a precedent for other regions.

Marcellus/Utica地区：来自宾夕法尼亚州大威廉姆斯波特的州议员，为五个宾夕法尼亚州中北部县的乔恩Yaw参议员，正在推动2025年的碳捕获法案，以解决威廉斯波特Sun-Gazette的报道，以解决关键的环境和能源问题。这项由YAW（州参议院环境资源与能源委员会主席）拥护的立法旨在建立碳捕获枢纽，并通过增加发电的重点来增强电网可靠性。 YAW认为，强大的经济对于环境进步至关重要，将经济实力与可持续能源解决方案联系起来。该计划反映了一项更广泛的战略，以应对全州范围的挑战，例如网格稳定性和减少排放，强调实践措施以平衡经济和生态需求。该法案的进步被视为将先进技术集成到宾夕法尼亚州的能源框架中的一步，有可能为其他地区树立先例。

OTHER U.S. REGIONS: Shell Offshore Inc., a subsidiary of Shell plc, has achieved first oil production from the Dover development, further strengthening its leadership position in the Gulf of America. Discovered in 2018 within the Mississippi Canyon area, approximately 170 miles southeast of New Orleans, the project targets an estimated 40 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources. Fully owned and operated by Shell, Dover showcases operational efficiency and collaboration with partners like C-Innovation and Bordelon Marine. This milestone builds on Shell’s strong presence in the Gulf, where it produces over 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent daily and holds a significant leasehold. The development aligns with Shell’s strategy to maximize value from deep-water assets, reinforcing its long-term commitment to sustainable energy production in the Gulf, a key area since Shell's first well there in 1948.

其他美国地区：Shell Plc的子公司Shell Offshore Inc.已从Dover开发中获得了首次石油生产，进一步加强了其在美国海湾的领导地位。该项目于2018年在密西西比州峡谷地区（新奥尔良东南约170英里）发现，该项目的目标是估计有4000万桶石油在可回收的资源上。 Dover由Shell完全拥有和运营，展示了与C Innovation和Bordelon Marine这样的合作伙伴的运营效率和合作。这个里程碑是基于壳牌在海湾地区的强大存在，在那里它每天生产超过300,000桶石油同等用品，并拥有大量的租赁权。该发展与壳牌公司从深水资产中最大化价值的战略相吻合，从而加强了其对海湾可持续能源生产的长期承诺，这是自1948年壳牌第一次井下以来的关键领域。

CF Industries CF Industries Holdings, Inc., a leading ammonia producer, is partnering with JERA Co., Inc., Japan’s largest energy company, and Mitsui & Co., Inc., a global trading firm, to form a joint venture for the construction of the world’s largest low-carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana. Announ, the initiative aims to support Japan's energy security and decarbonization efforts. The joint venture will hold a 40% interest, with JERA at 35% and Mitsui at 25%, in the $4 billion plant, set to commence operations in 2029. The plant will use autothermal reforming technology to produce 1.4 million metric tons of ammonia annually, capturing over 95% of CO2 emissions—about 2.3 million metric tons yearly—for sequestration by 1PointFive. The project is eligible for Section 45Q tax credits.

CF Industries CF Industries Holdings，Inc。是一家领先的氨生产商，正在与日本最大能源公司Jera Co.，Inc。和全球贸易公司Mitsui＆Co.，Inc。合作，以建造路易斯安那州世界上最大的低碳氨氨水植物的合资企业。该计划宣布，旨在支持日本的能源安全和脱碳工作。该合资企业将持有40％的利息，Jera为35％，在这家40亿美元的工厂中，将于2029年开始运营。该工厂将使用自热的改革技术每年生产140万吨氨氨气，捕获超过95％的二氧化碳杂货，以捕获超过230万英里的年度，以备下来的年度二级货物 - 1点。该项目有资格获得第45Q节税收抵免。

Chevron is set to lay off approximately 600 employees at its San Ramon, California, headquarters as it prepares to move its corporate operations to Houston, Texas, over the next five years. The job cuts, affecting various departments, represent about 25% of Chevron’s San Ramon workforce and are part of a broader restructuring effort. The move to Texas, where Chevron already employs 7,000 people, is driven by the state’s business-friendly environment. Positions supporting California operations will remain in San Ramon. This relocation aligns Chevron with other Fortune 500 companies moving to Houston, reflecting a strategic pivot amid operational changes.

Chevron将在未来五年内准备将其公司业务转移到得克萨斯州的休斯顿，将在其加利福尼亚州的圣拉蒙（San Ramon）裁员约600名员工。削减工作对各个部门的工作，约占雪佛龙San Ramon劳动力的25％，并且是重组工作的一部分。雪佛龙已经雇用了7,000名员工的德克萨斯州的搬迁是由该州的业务友好环境所驱动的。支持加利福尼亚业务的职位将保留在圣拉蒙。该搬迁与雪佛龙公司与搬到休斯敦的其他财富500强公司保持一致，这反映了运营变化的战略枢纽。

New Jersey’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a cap-and-trade program designed to reduce CO2 emissions, is being questioned as the state legislature grapples with rising energy costs that are disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income communities. While RGGI is credited with driving the closure of coal plants and fostering cleaner energy sources like nuclear, renewables, and natural gas in New Jersey, a recent TCR report highlights unintended consequences: the state’s involvement now increases CO2 emissions by 2.7 million short tons annually across the PJM electricity market—equivalent to adding over 532,000 vehicles to the road. This “leakage” occurs as RGGI imposes a tax-like cost on New Jersey’s efficient gas generators, making them less competitive than dirtier coal plants in non-RGGI states like Pennsylvania, raising electricity costs by $1.16 billion and generating only $270 million in auction revenue. Critics argue that reconsidering RGGI could lower bills, reduce emissions, and support in-state generation.

新泽西州参与旨在减少CO2排放的上限和贸易计划的区域温室气体倡议（RGGI），因为州立法机关应对不断影响低收入和中等收入社区的能源成本的上升而受到质疑。虽然RGGI被认为是推动燃煤电厂关闭并促进新泽西州核，可再生能源和天然气等清洁能源，但最近的一份TCR报告强调了意外的后果：该州的参与现在将CO2的介绍增加了270万个短吨，每年在PJM电力市场中每年增加270万次，以超过532，000年的价格增加了532，000年。这种“泄漏”发生是因为RGGI对新泽西州有效的气体发电机施加了类似税款的成本，这使得与宾夕法尼亚州等非RGGI州更肮脏的燃煤电厂的竞争力降低，使电力成本增加了11.6亿美元，并且仅产生了2.7亿美元的拍卖收入。评论家认为，重新考虑RGGI可以降低账单，减少排放并支持州内的生成。

In a session marked by economic recovery but also rising inflation and food insecurity, multiple bills aimed at regulating the oil and gas industry, a major economic driver in the state, failed to pass despite Democratic control of both the House and Senate. Among the legislation that didn’t advance was a measure to increase royalty rates on state land leases from 20% to 25%, a change that had not been seen since 1970. Another bill, which stalled in a House committee, aimed to ban freshwater use in oil and gas production, a practice that

在以经济复苏和通货膨胀和粮食不安全为标志的会议中，尽管民主控制了众议院和参议院，但旨在调节该州石油和天然气行业的多个法案仍未通过。在没有提出的立法中，一项措施是将州土地租赁的特许权使用费从20％提高到25％，这一变化是自1970年以来从未见过的。另一项旨在禁止在石油和天然气中使用淡水使用的法案，这种做法是这种做法，这种做法是这种做法
