伍德赛德将斥资7.48亿美元拟建氢出口中心

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据能源之声10月25日消息，澳大利亚伍德赛德今日公布了一项耗资10亿澳元(7.48亿美元)的氢出口工厂建设计划，该工厂将位于珀斯南部，旨在向海外出口低碳能源，并促进西澳大利亚州的可再生能源供应。

　　拟建的工厂名为H2Perth，目标是每天生产高达1500吨氢气，以氨和液态氢的形式出口。

　　伍德赛德今天表示，该分阶段项目计划于2024年开始建设，将得到西澳政府的支持。

　　西澳政府表示，该项目将耗资约10亿澳元。该项目潜力巨大，可能是世界上同类设施中最大的之一。但该公司没有透露政府和伍德赛德将如何分摊成本。

　　伍德赛德表示：“为了实现西澳大利亚州氢出口的共同目标，伍德赛德计划支持州政府刺激当地氢需求的举措，特别是在运输部门和当地重工业。当地加油站可以独立于出口项目时间表建设，最早可在2023年投入运营，具体取决于批准和客户需求。”

　　“伍德赛德作为澳大利亚油气生产商有着令人自豪的历史记录，我们的液化天然气出口将继续帮助亚洲可靠地满足其能源需求，同时在未来几十年减少温室气体排放。现在，我们打算利用我们的技能和资金实力，为我们的产品组合添加新的能源和低碳技术，这可以扩大规模，以满足客户的需求，”伍德赛德首席执行官Meg O 'Neill说。

　　伍德赛德称:“从州政府租赁的土地位于奎那那和罗金厄姆地区，理想的位置靠近现有的天然气、电力、供水和港口基础设施，以及当地的熟练工。”

　　该公司补充说:“这些优势将大大降低供应成本和进度，帮助H2Perth向客户提供价格有竞争力的氢气。”

　　“在这个地方建造不仅仅是为了氢气。通过为电网提供灵活稳定的负荷，有利于家庭和当地工业间歇性使用可再生能源，H2Perth也将促进西澳大利亚州可再生能源的大幅增长。”伍德赛德说。

　　伍德赛德表示，他们现在将开始H2Perth项目的社区参与，并与客户进行详细的进展。根据必要的商业和监管批准，以及最终的投资决定，建设预计将于2024年开始。

　　Australia’s Woodside plans $748m hydrogen export hub

　　Woodside (ASX:WPL) today unveiled plans for a A$1 billion ($748 million) hydrogen export plant south of Perth that is designed to export low carbon energy overseas and boost renewable energy supplies in Western Australia.

　　The proposed plant, dubbed H2Perth, targets making up to 1500 tonnes of hydrogen every day to export in the form of ammonia and liquid hydrogen. Construction is planned to start in 2024 at the phased project that will be supported by the Western Australian government, Woodside said today.

　　The WA government said the project, which at full potential could be one of the largest facilities of its kind in the world, would cost about A$1 billion. But it did not disclose how the state and Woodside would split the costs.

　　“As well as meeting a shared goal of hydrogen export from Western Australia in the second half of the decade, Woodside aims to support State initiatives to stimulate local hydrogen demand, particularly in the transport sector and among local heavy industry. Local refuelling stations can be built independently of the export project timelines and could operate as early as 2023, subject to approvals and customer demand,” said Woodside.

　　“Woodside has a proud track record as an Australian oil and gas producer and our LNG exports will continue helping Asia to reliably meet its energy needs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come. Now, we intend to use our skills and financial strength to add new energy products and lower-carbon technologies and services to our portfolio, which can be scaled to meet customer demand,” said Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill.

　　“The land being leased from the State Government in the Kwinana and Rockingham areas is ideally located close to existing gas, power, water and port infrastructure, as well as a skilled local residential workforce,” said Woodside.

　　“These advantages will make a huge difference to cost of supply and schedule and help H2Perth deliver competitively priced hydrogen to customers,” added the company.

　　“Building in this location is not just about hydrogen. H2Perth will also facilitate substantial growth of renewables in Western Australia by providing to the grid a flexible and stabilising load that benefits uptake of intermittent renewable electricity by households and local industry,” said Woodside.

　　Woodside said it will now begin community engagement on the H2Perth project along with detailed progress with customers. Subject to necessary commercial and regulatory approvals, and a final investment decision, construction is estimated to start in 2024.
