韩国现代重工和沙特阿美签署蓝氢合作项目

    中国石化新闻网讯 据能源转型新闻2021年3月4日首尔报道，韩国现代重工控股集团(HHIH)的一名官员3月4日在首尔表示，该公司日前已与沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(沙特阿美/Saudi Aramco)就蓝氢和蓝氨项目签署了一份谅解备忘录。

    根据谅解备忘录，HHH旗下的炼油企业韩国现代炼油公司(Hyundai Oilbank)将从沙特阿美进口液化石油气（LPG），将LPG转化为蓝氢。蓝氢是在捕获二氧化碳排放的过程中从化石燃料中产生的氢。

    这位HHIH官员表示，“在氢生产过程中捕获并储存的二氧化碳将直接运回沙特阿美，这意味着在这个过程中，韩国不会留下任何碳足迹。”

    这位官员说，沙特阿美将利用这些二氧化碳从地下抽出更多的原油，以提高原油采收率。

    这位官员表示，韩国现代炼油公司计划将蓝氢出售给沙特阿美旗下的LPG公司 (Aramco LPG)，作为燃料电动汽车或燃料电池发电厂的燃料，或用于脱硫设施。这名官员还表示，现代炼油公司计划到2040年前在韩国各地建立300个充氢站。

    S Korea's Hyundai Heavy, Aramco sign blue hydrogen cooperation project

    Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings, or HHIH, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Aramco on blue hydrogen and ammonia projects, a Hyundai Heavy official said March 4.

    Hyundai Oilbank, the oil refinery unit of HHIH, will import LPG from Saudi Aramco under the MOU to convert into blue hydrogen, which is hydrogen produced from fossil fuel in a process that captures CO2 emissions.

    "Carbon dioxide captured and stored during the hydrogen production process will be transported straight back to Saudi Aramco, which means there would be no carbon left in South Korea in the process," the HHIH official said.

    The Saudi Arabian state-run oil company will use the CO2 to pump more oil out of the ground in a process for enhanced oil recovery, the official said.

    Hyundai Oilbank plans to sell blue hydrogen to Aramco LPG for fuel electric vehicles or fuel cell power plants, or to use in desulfurization facilities, the official said, adding that the refiner plans to set up 300 hydrogen charging stations by 2040 across South Korea.
