據(jù)路透社11月10日報道，英國石油公司BP和丹麥可再生能源集團Orsted Orsted合作，在德國一家煉油廠開發(fā)開發(fā)零碳?xì)錃?，這是BP在該行業(yè)的首個全面化的項目，預(yù)計該行業(yè)將迅速增長。

該項目將在德國西北部的Lingen煉油廠，利用北海的風(fēng)能，通過電解水來生產(chǎn)所謂的綠色氫氣。

BP在一份聲明中表示，該項目正處于初期階段，初步的目標(biāo)是建造一個50兆瓦的電解槽，以替代該工廠20%的天然氣制氫產(chǎn)能，預(yù)計將于2024年開始生產(chǎn)。

該公司負(fù)責(zé)氫氣業(yè)務(wù)的高級副總裁Louise Jacobson Plutt表示，該項目后期產(chǎn)能可能擴大至500兆瓦，以取代Lingen所有的化石燃料制氫產(chǎn)能。

如今，氫主要用于工業(yè)部門，作為原料來制造燃料等產(chǎn)品。但隨著歐盟和世界各國政府尋求到2050年將溫室氣體排放量降至零的目標(biāo)，綠色氫氣的使用預(yù)計將在未來幾十年大幅增長。

BP的目標(biāo)是到2030年將其氫產(chǎn)量擴大到市場的10%。然而，綠色氫氣要比以天然氣或灰色氫氣要昂貴得多，因此，降低生產(chǎn)成本將是擴大該燃料使用的關(guān)鍵。

Orsted氫業(yè)務(wù)副總裁Anders Nordstrom表示，隨著更多綠色氫能項目的啟動和技術(shù)的進步，預(yù)計到2020年將與灰色氫氣平價。

BP未透露該項目的具體投資費用。

BP, Orsted launch green hydrogen project at German oil refinery

BP BP.L and Danish renewable energy group Orsted ORSTED.CO have partnered to develop zero-carbon hydrogen at a German oil refinery, BP's first full-scale project in a sector that is expected to grow rapidly.

The project will produce so-called green hydrogen at the Lingen refinery in north-west Germany through the electrolysis of water using wind power from the North Sea.

It is in its early stages and initially aims to build a 50 megawatt (MW) electrolyser to replace 20% of natural gas-based hydrogen at the plant, BP said in a statement. Production is expected to start in 2024.

The project could be expanded to up to 500 MW at a later stage to replace all of Lingen’s fossil fuel-based hydrogen, Louise Jacobson Plutt, BP’s senior vice president for hydrogen, told Reuters.

Hydrogen is today mostly used in the industrial sector as feedstock to make products such as fuels.

But the use of green hydrogen is expected to grow sharply in the coming decades as the European Union and governments around the world seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.

BP aims to expand its hydrogen output to 10% of the market by 2030.

Green hydrogen is however much more expensive than natural gas-based, or grey, hydrogen. Reducing its cost of production will be key to expand the use of the fuel.

“We see a path to (price) parity with grey hydrogen by the end of the decade” as more green hydrogen projects are launched and technology advances, Anders Nordstrom, Orsted vice president for hydrogen said.

The projected cost of the projected was not disclosed.
