据油价网2023年6月22日报道，阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)日前对德国化工集团科思创(Covestro)提出了初步收购提议，这是其利用市场发展战略计划的一部分。虽然目前还没有正式报价，但该提议价值估计约为100亿欧元(109亿美元)，对科思创的估值接近110亿欧元。

ADNOC对科思创的兴趣符合其更可持续发展目标，尽管任何潜在的交易都可能涉及将科思创的业务与ADNOC分开。

虽然全面的交易不会很快达成，但ADNOC的更广泛战略包括投资约1500亿美元扩大上游活动，以及开发和扩大低碳能源。

在对科思创产生兴趣之前，ADNOC在去年收购了奥地利能源和化工公司OMV公司的24.9%股份。ADNOC的投资范围超出了阿联酋和中东和北非地区，因为它寻求在欧盟、美国和亚洲扩大其投资组合。当ADNOC入股以色列NewMed能源公司时，其在国际上游业务扩张的雄心变得清晰起来。

此外，ADNOC计划通过其商品交易部门ADNOC全球交易公司(AGT)产生和交易碳信用额，积极参与碳市场。最初的重点将是从其自己的项目和其他阿联酋各个部门的项目中获得信贷。ADNOC的长期战略围绕绿色能源和低碳经济，特别强调下游石油和天然气产品。

AGT最近成立的碳交易部门，由前托克集团的Aleksi Parkkila领导，将为引领ADNOC的碳市场而努力。ADNOC首席执行官苏丹·贾贝尔也是COP28会议的倡议者，并监管绿色能源生产商马斯达尔的运行，他认为从“化石燃料”转型是不可避免的，但这并不意味着碳氢化合物和燃料产品生产的终结。

UAE’s ADNOC Eyes Expansion Of Downstream Activity In Europe

· Abu Dhabi’s ADNOC has made a preliminary takeover proposal for German chemical group Covestro.

· Any potential deal would likely involve keeping Covestro"s operations separate from ADNOC.

· Additionally, ADNOC plans to actively participate in carbon markets by generating and trading carbon credits through its commodity trading arm.

Abu Dhabi’s ADNOC has made a preliminary takeover proposal for German chemical group Covestro, a German chemical group, as part of its strategic plans to leverage market developments. While no official offer has been made yet, the proposal is estimated to be around €10 billion ($10.9 billion), valuing Covestro at nearly €11 billion.

ADNOC"s interest in Covestro aligns with its goal to become more sustainable, although any potential deal would likely involve keeping Covestro"s operations separate from ADNOC.

Although a full deal is not imminent, ADNOC"s broader strategy includes investing approximately $150 billion in expanding upstream activities, as well as developing and expanding low-carbon energy.

The interest in Covestro follows ADNOC"s acquisition of a 24.9% stake in Austrian energy and chemicals company OMV in 2022. ADNOC"s investment reach extends beyond the UAE and MENA, as it seeks to grow its portfolio in the EU, U.S. and Asia. Its international upstream expansion ambitions became clear when the company took a stake In Israel’s NewMed Energy.

Additionally, ADNOC plans to actively participate in carbon markets by generating and trading carbon credits through its commodity trading arm, ADNOC Global Trading (AGT). The focus will initially be on generating credits from its own projects and other UAE-based projects in various sectors. ADNOC"s long-term strategy revolves around green energy sources and a low-carbon economy, with a particular emphasis on downstream oil and gas products.

AGT"s recently established carbon desk, led by Aleksi Parkkila, formerly of Trafigura, will spearhead ADNOC"s carbon market endeavors. ADNOC"s CEO, Sultan Al Jaber, who is also the leader of COP28 and oversees green energy producer MASDAR, has that the transitioning away from "fossil fuels," is inevitable, but mind you, this does not mean the end of hydrocarbon and fuel products production.
