中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)能源之聲12月22日消息稱,蘇格蘭政府發(fā)表了氫氣政策聲明,闡述了該國如何成為全球新興市場的主要參與者。
該計劃包括到2030年生產(chǎn)5吉瓦可再生能源和低碳氫能源的雄心,這足以滿足180萬戶家庭的用電需求,到2045年將達到至少25吉瓦。
氫燃料的使用仍處于相對起步階段,專家們強調(diào),這是油氣行業(yè)可以幫助經(jīng)濟脫碳的一個領(lǐng)域。
蘇格蘭政府希望兩者在能源轉(zhuǎn)型中扮演“越來越重要的角色”。
根據(jù)經(jīng)濟影響研究的數(shù)據(jù),到2045年,該行業(yè)有可能為蘇格蘭經(jīng)濟創(chuàng)造高達每年250億英鎊的價值。
這份聲明的發(fā)表意味著蘇格蘭將成為英國第一個制定該行業(yè)目標的國家,威斯敏斯特將于明年效仿。
蘇格蘭能源部長Paul Wheelhouse表示,蘇格蘭擁有促進低成本氫氣生產(chǎn)的“所有必要原料”。
其中包括“世界上最大的海上工程專業(yè)人員聚集地之一”,可以利用可再生能源的潛力生產(chǎn)零排放的超級燃料。
Wheelhouse補充說:“氫作為經(jīng)濟脫碳的可持續(xù)解決方案,以及能源轉(zhuǎn)型的關(guān)鍵元素,正在國際社會迅速興起。
“蘇格蘭準備和其他歐洲國家一起充分發(fā)揮自己的作用——這就是為什么我們今天發(fā)布這份重要的政策聲明,并投資1億英鎊的蘇格蘭政府資源來刺激該行業(yè)及其供應(yīng)鏈?!?/span>
“事實上,蘇格蘭是世界上最適合開發(fā)價格具有競爭力的氫氣以滿足本國經(jīng)濟需求的國家之一,并產(chǎn)生過剩的供應(yīng),以出口到其他有新興需求的歐洲國家,但目前供應(yīng)無法滿足國內(nèi)自己的需求。”
今年早些時候,阿伯丁市議會批準一個新的阿伯丁氫氣中心,這是一個區(qū)域合作項目,包括當?shù)卣?、蘇格蘭企業(yè)和Opportunity North East。
該項目將利用附近的海上風能資源,啟動該地區(qū)氫產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展。

Scottish Government pledges £100m to hydrogen industry
The Scottish Government published its Hydrogen Policy Statement setting out how the country can become a major player in the global emerging market.
It includes an ambition to generate 5 gigawatts (GW) of renewable and low carbon hydrogen by 2030 – enough to power the equivalent of 1.8 million homes – increasing to at least 25GW by 2045.
The use of hydrogen as a fuel source is still in its relative infancy, with experts highlighting it as an area in which the oil and gas industry can help to decarbonise the economy.
The Scottish Government expects both to play an “increasingly important role” in the energy transition.
According to economic impact research, the industry has the potential to be worth up to £25 billion a year to the Scottish economy by 2045.
The publication of the statement means Scotland is the first country in the UK to set out its aims for the sector, with Westminster due to follow suit next year.
Scottish Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse said Scotland had “all the raw ingredients necessary” to facilitate the production of low-cost hydrogen.
That includes “one of the largest concentrations of offshore engineering expertise in the world” that can harness renewable energy potential to produce the superfuel with no emissions.
Mr Wheelhouse added: “Hydrogen is rapidly emerging across the international community as a sustainable solution for the decarbonisation of the economy and a key element of the energy transition picture.
“Scotland is prepared to play its full part together with other European nations – that’s why we’re publishing this key policy statement today and investing £100 million of Scottish Government resources to stimulate the sector and its supply chain.
“Indeed, Scotland is one of the best placed nations anywhere in the world to develop competitively priced hydrogen for our own economy’s needs and to generate a surplus in supply to export to other European nations with emerging demand, but insufficient supply to meet their own needs.”
Earlier this year, Aberdeen City Council gave then green light for a new Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub, a regional collaboration project involving the local authority, Scottish Enterprise and Opportunity North East.
The project will utilise nearby offshore wind resources to kick start the growth of the hydrogen industry in the region.
