據世界天然氣3月2日消息稱，澳大利亞金融集團麥格理集團旗下的綠色投資部門周四表示，將推出海上風能業務，并將于 4 月開始運營。

該公司表示，新業務Corio Generation將成為麥格理綠色投資集團 (GIG) 的一部分，并將擁有 15 吉瓦的全球項目管道，這是世界上最大的項目之一。

麥格理在2017年從英國政府手中收購的GIG目前正在開發綠色能源項目，發電量為35 吉瓦。

在投資者要求披露、跟蹤和實現排放目標的壓力下，多家公司最近誓言要推廣清潔、可再生能源的使用。

麥格理很大一部分利潤來自大宗商品交易部門，由于大宗商品市場強勁，該公司上月公布了創紀錄的季度利潤。

Australia's Macquarie to launch offshore wind energy business

Australian financial conglomerate Macquarie Group's green investment unit said on Thursday it would launch an offshore wind energy business, with operations set to start in April.

The new business, Corio Generation, will be part of Macquarie's Green Investment Group (GIG) and will have a global project pipeline of 15 gigawatts, one of the largest in the world, the company said.

GIG, which Macquarie acquired from the British government in 2017, currently has green energy projects under development to generate 35 gigawatts of power.

A number of companies have vowed in recent times to promote the use of clean, renewable energy amid investor pressure to disclose, track and meet emission targets.

Macquarie derives a significant portion of its earnings from its commodities trading arm, and posted record quarterly profits last month due to strong commodity markets.
