埃萨石油将在英国建设价值10亿美元低碳氢工厂

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思能源10月18日消息称，英国炼油商埃萨石油计划斥资7.5亿英镑(10亿美元)在其位于英格兰西北部的Standlow炼油厂建造两座低碳氢工厂。

　　该公司在一份声明中表示，该公司已经提交了该项目的规划申请。

　　如果获得批准，这两个所谓的“蓝色氢气”工厂将于2022年底开始建设，预计从2020年代中期开始投产。这两个工厂的燃料由天然气生产，生产过程中产生的碳排放将被收集和储存。

　　正如MRC早些时候所通知的，在2019年9月下旬，埃萨恢复了其位于英国Stanlow的裂化工厂的运营，其产能为4.5万吨/年的乙烯和16.5万吨/年的丙烯。2019年9月11日，由于现场停电，该工厂关闭。

　　Essar Oil plans to build USD1 billion low-carbon hydrogen plants in England

　　British refiner Essar Oil plans to build two low-carbon hydrogen plants at its Standlow refinery in northwest England at a cost of 750 million pounds (USD1 billion), according to Hydrocarbonprocessing.

　　The company has submitted planning applications for the project, it said in a statement.

　　If approved, construction of the two so-called “blue hydrogen” plants, where the fuel is produced from natural gas and carbon emissions from its production are captured and stored, will begin at the end of 2022 with output expected to begin from the mid-2020s.

　　As MRC informed earlier, in late September 2019, Essar resumed operations at its cracker in Stanlow, UK with the capacity of 45,000 mt/year of ethylene and 165,000 mt/year of propylene. It was shut on 11 September, 2019, due to the power outage at the site.
