中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博新闻社2023年1月5日报道，德国经济部长1月5日表示，欧洲第2大电力生产商德国莱茵集团（RWE AG）和挪威能源巨头Equinor ASA计划在德国和挪威之间建造一条氢气管道。
同时德国政府副总理将在访问奥斯陆期间会见挪威首相。他在接受ARD电视频道采访时表示，两家公司将讨论在氢气和碳捕获技术方面的深入合作。
德国希望到2030年前将碳排放量在1990年的基础上减少65%，并在2045年前实现气候中和。挪威也设定了类似的目标，这意味着挪威将建造浮式海上风能发电，开发碳捕获和存储设施，以及为石油和天然气生产平台供电。
欧洲大陆的工业强国德国也不得不调整其能源政策，因为地缘政治冲突迫使德国结束了对产能大国管道天然气的长期依赖。
两国去年3月份都表示：“挪威和德国将考虑修建一条连接两国的氢气管道。运营连接挪威和欧洲天然气管道的天然气公司Gassco AS目前正在进行一项研究，以评估这种管道的可行性，预计将在今年春季完成研究工作。 ”
德国政府副总理说，这条氢气管道最初可能会运输蓝色氢气，蓝色氢气是通过转换天然气产生的，并捕获排放的碳。随后，新的海上风力发电场也可以输入管道，使其能够吸收使用可再生能源制造的绿色氢气。
德国政府副总理说，这个计划将帮助德国在2030年前逐步淘汰西部地区的煤炭。到目前为止，德国政府的煤炭淘汰日期是2038年，它的目标是在东部地区也达到这一目标。
根据德国能源署和意昂集团的估计，研究表明，到2030年前，德国将需要大约66太瓦时的氢气。在德国政府的战略中，它的目标是在国内生产100吉瓦氢气，这意味着德国将严重依赖氢气进口。
柏林方面表示，德国准备在清洁能源补贴计划中投入100多亿欧元(106亿美元)，以推动氢气和碳捕获技术的使用。挪威等合作伙伴被视为成功开发这些技术的关键。

RWE and Equinor Plan Norway-Germany Hydrogen Pipeline
RWE AG and Equinor ASA plan to build a hydrogen pipeline between Germany and Norway, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said.
Habeck — also Germany’s vice chancellor — is in Oslo until Friday and will meet Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. They’ll discuss deeper cooperation on hydrogen and carbon capture technology, he said in an interview with TV channel ARD.
Germany wants to reduce its carbon emissions by 65% by 2030 from 1990 levels and reach climate neutrality by 2045. Norway has set itself similar targets, which means building out floating offshore wind, developing carbon capture and storage facilities and electrifying oil and gas platforms.
Germany — the continent’s industrial powerhouse — has also had to retool its energy policy since the war forced it to end its long-standing dependence on gas.
Both countries in March said they would consider building a hydrogen pipeline linking the nations. Gassco AS, which operates gas pipelines connecting Norway with Europe, is currently conducting a study to assess the feasibility of such a pipeline, which is expected to be finalized in spring.
The link will probably initially transport blue hydrogen — which is produced by converting natural gas and capturing the carbon that’s emitted — Habeck said. Later on, new offshore wind farms can also feed into the pipeline and enable it to take green hydrogen, which is made using renewable energy.
The plan will help Germany phase out coal in western regions by 2030, Habeck said. So far the government’s coal phase-out date is 2038, which it aims to reach also in the eastern regions.
Studies show that the country would need around 66 terawatt-hours of hydrogen by 2030, according to estimates of the German Energy Agency dena and EON SE. In its own strategy, the government only aims to produce 10 gigawatts at home, meaning that it will heavily depend on imports.
Berlin has said it’s ready to spend more than €10 billion ($10.6 billion) under its clean-energy subsidy program, which pushes the use of hydrogen and carbon capture. Partners like Norway are seen as key to succeeding with the development of those technologies.
