海王星能源加入欧洲清洁氢联盟

    中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油7月15日法国报道，海王星能源已加入欧洲清洁氢联盟，以支持欧盟氢战略的发展。

    该联盟于上周启动，汇集了工业界、公共当局和民间社会。这是欧盟战略的一部分，以支持欧洲在2050年之前实现碳中和的努力。

    鉴于有大量的风能以及海上和陆地上用于运输气体和氢分子的现有基础设施，荷兰在引导向氢经济过渡方面处于特别有利的位置。在海王星的PosHYdon项目中，海上风力涡轮机产生的电力将用于为海王星运营的Q13a平台上的氢气厂提供动力，将海水转化为软化水，然后通过电解转化为氢气。

    荷兰海王星能源公司董事总经理Lex de Groot表示，国际上越来越多的共识是，将需要大规模使用氢，以使各国实现《巴黎协定》所设定的宏伟目标。

    氢为许多难以减排的行业（例如钢铁和重型运输）提供了降低排放的解决方案。它可以提供长期的规模储能，支持改善空气质量，加强能源安全。

    我们认为，氢气应该在实现脱碳中发挥重要作用，并且已经通过我们的PosHYdon试点项目在推进工作，这是世界上第一个海上绿色氢能项目。我们看到了氢在未来能源供应中发挥重要作用的强大、积极的机会。

    Neptune Energy joins European Clean Hydrogen Alliance

    Neptune Energy has joined the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance, supporting the development of the EU’s hydrogen strategy.

    The alliance was launched last week, bringing together industry, public authorities and civil society. It is part of the EU's strategy to support efforts for Europe to become carbon neutral by 2050.

    The Netherlands is particularly well-positioned to lead the transition to a hydrogen economy, given the abundance of wind energy and existing infrastructure at sea and on land for the transport of gas and hydrogen molecules. With Neptune’s PosHYdon project, electricity generated by offshore wind turbines will be used to power a hydrogen plant on the Neptune-operated Q13a platform, converting seawater into demineralized water, then into hydrogen via electrolysis.

    Lex de Groot, Managing Director of Neptune Energy in the Netherlands, said: “There is a growing consensus internationally that hydrogen will be required at scale in order for countries to meet the ambitious targets set out by the Paris Agreement.

    “Hydrogen offers a solution to lower emissions in many hard-to-abate sectors, such as steel and heavy-duty transport. It can provide long-term energy storage at scale, support improvements in air quality and strengthen energy security.

    “We believe hydrogen should play an important role in enabling decarbonization and are already advancing efforts through our PosHYdon pilot, the world’s first offshore green hydrogen project. We see strong, positive opportunities for hydrogen to play an important role in future energy supply.”
