到2050年氢将占到所有石油需求的25%

    中国石化新闻网讯 据全球能源新闻1月24日消息称，美国银行全球专题研究负责人表示，未来几十年，氢将在全球能源市场上扮演重要角色，取代很大一部分石油需求。

    周五早上， Haim Israel在接受CNBC的“ Squawk Box Europe”采访时表示，尽管仍需要石油和天然气，但需求已接近高峰。

    Israel列举了一些会影响石油和天然气发展的因素，包括更便宜的可再生能源、监管和汽车电气化。

    他继续说：“我们相信，到2050年，氢将占到石油总需求的25%。”他补充说，石油“正面临着左右两面的阻力”。是的，我们仍然需要石油，是的，石油仍然会存在，但石油的市场份额将大幅下降。”

    正如美国能源部所指出的那样，氢“是一种能源载体，而不是能源来源”，这意味着它是一种像电力一样的二次能源。美国能源部补充说，氢“可以传递或储存大量的能量”，“可以用于燃料电池发电，或发电和供热。”

    近年来，世界各地的政府和公司都宣布了减少对环境的影响和减少化石燃料使用的目标。例如，英国和欧盟都计划到2050年实现温室气体净零排放。

    如果要实现这些目标，世界的能源结构就需要向可再生和低碳能源转变，这是一项巨大的工程。

    他说：“我们坚信大型石油公司需要以不同的方式思考。从现在开始，他们需要不再考虑大型石油项目，而应该考虑大型能源项目，以更多地进入可再生能源，以实现其能源多样化。”

    去年9月，BP宣布已同意从挪威的Equinor手中收购Empire Wind和Beacon Wind项目50％的股份。这项价值11亿美元的交易将于2021年初完成。

    Equinor表示， Empire Wind和Beacon Wind项目将位于美国东海岸附近的水域，当完全启动和运行后，每个项目将能够为100多万户家庭供电。

    Hydrogen is going to take 25% of all oil demand by 2050

    Hydrogen is set to play a major role in the global energy markets over the coming decades, supplanting a large chunk of oil demand, according to Bank of America's head of global thematic research.

    Speaking to CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Friday morning, Haim Israel accepted that while oil and gas would still be needed going forward, it was nearing a peak in demand.

    Israel listed several factors which would affect oil and gas going forward, including cheaper renewable energy, regulation and the electrification of cars.

    "We believe that hydrogen is going to take 25% of all oil demand by 2050," he went on to state, adding that oil was "facing headwinds left and right. Yes, we'll still need it, yes, it's still going to be around, but the market share of oil is going to plummet."

    As noted by the U.S. Department of Energy, hydrogen "is an energy carrier, not an energy source," meaning it's a secondary energy source like electricity. The DOE adds that hydrogen "can deliver or store a tremendous amount of energy" and "can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity, or power and heat."

    In recent years, governments and companies around the world have announced goals to reduce their environmental footprint and move away from fossil fuels. Both the U.K. and European Union are, for example, targeting net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

    If these kinds of goals are to be met, the world's energy mix will need to see a significant shift to renewable and low carbon sources, a mammoth undertaking.

    "We … strongly believe that the 'big oils' need to think in different ways," he said. "They need to think about not 'big oil' anymore but 'big energy' from here onwards, to go much more into renewable sources, to diversify their sources."

    Last September, it was announced that BP had agreed to take 50% stakes in the Empire Wind and Beacon Wind projects from Norway's Equinor. The $1.1 billion deal is due to close in the early part of 2021.

    When fully up and running, Equinor says the Empire Wind and Beacon Wind projects, set to be located in waters off the East Coast of the United States, will each be able to power over 1 million homes.
