據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)2022年11月30日倫敦報(bào)道，英國能源巨頭、英國天然氣集團(tuán)公司（BG）的母公司森特里卡（Centrica）和英國從事綠色氫氣設(shè)施建設(shè)和運(yùn)營業(yè)務(wù)的Ryze氫氣公司11月30日上午在倫敦對(duì)《City A.M.》報(bào)記者表示，兩家公司將聯(lián)合建造和運(yùn)營氫氣生產(chǎn)設(shè)施，旨在為工業(yè)和交通運(yùn)輸業(yè)提供可靠的氫氣供應(yīng)。  

兩家公司表示，雙方已經(jīng)簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，并將結(jié)合專業(yè)知識(shí)，以啟動(dòng)開發(fā)所謂的“英國氫氣經(jīng)濟(jì)”，目標(biāo)是移動(dòng)、工業(yè)和商業(yè)市場(chǎng)。

根據(jù)協(xié)議，兩家公司將在現(xiàn)有的森特里卡基地共同開發(fā)氫氣生產(chǎn)項(xiàng)目，并與第三方合作在他們的基地建立氫氣生產(chǎn)項(xiàng)目。  

此外，兩家公司將探索英國如何與國際氫氣生產(chǎn)設(shè)施合作，將低成本的可再生能源轉(zhuǎn)換為氫氣和氫氣衍生物，輸送到高需求地區(qū)。

森特里卡氫氣部門負(fù)責(zé)人William Mezzullo解釋說：“低碳?xì)錃鈱⒃谖覀兡茉聪到y(tǒng)的脫碳過程中扮演重要角色。它提供了大量存儲(chǔ)的潛力，提供了長(zhǎng)期彈性，并為難以通電的地區(qū)提供了另一種選擇，從而增加了可再生能源和低碳電力的使用?！?/p>

Mezzullo說：“我們應(yīng)該大膽地思考，英國應(yīng)該致力于成為氫氣的凈出口國，為英國財(cái)政部提供高質(zhì)量的綠色就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，增加收入，并為房主和企業(yè)降低向凈零排放過渡的成本?！?/p>

Ryze氫氣公司綠色企業(yè)家兼執(zhí)行董事長(zhǎng)喬·班福德表示，“從我們與森特里卡的對(duì)話中可以清楚地看到，森特里卡致力于將氫氣作為其凈零戰(zhàn)略的重要組成部分”。

班福德強(qiáng)調(diào)，兩家公司最近幾周討論的這個(gè)項(xiàng)目將“改變綠色氫氣經(jīng)濟(jì)的游戲規(guī)則”，并將強(qiáng)調(diào)“為什么氫氣對(duì)英國和世界其他地區(qū)在應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化方面是如此重要的資源”。

在初步考慮的項(xiàng)目中，森特里卡和Ryze氫氣公司將研究將英國天然氣集團(tuán)公司的部分船隊(duì)轉(zhuǎn)換為氫氣燃料的解決方案，包括加注氫氣基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施、位置和貨車技術(shù)。

此外，班福德還表示，森特里卡企業(yè)解決方公司將與Ryze氫氣公司合作，為希望現(xiàn)場(chǎng)發(fā)電脫碳的客戶提供氫氣作為替代燃料。

森特里卡最近宣布計(jì)劃向林肯郡布里格的燃?xì)饧夥遑?fù)荷發(fā)電廠注入氫氣，以進(jìn)行一項(xiàng)旨在更好地了解氫氣在發(fā)電中的作用的試驗(yàn)。

森特里卡強(qiáng)調(diào)，該公司“有一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)”，要把Rough氣田變成歐洲最大的長(zhǎng)期能源存儲(chǔ)設(shè)施，能夠存儲(chǔ)天然氣和氫氣。

Centrica Sets Out To Develop A “UK Hydrogen Economy”

Energy giant Centrica and Ryze Hydrogen will jointly build and operate hydrogen production facilities aimed at providing a reliable supply of hydrogen for industry and transportation, the companies told City A.M. this morning.

A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed and will combine expertise in order to kickstart the development of a so-called “UK hydrogen economy”, targeting the mobility, industrial and commercial markets, the companies said.

Under the agreement the firms will jointly develop hydrogen production projects on existing Centrica sites and work with third-parties to build production on their sites too.

In addition, the partnership will explore how the UK can work with international hydrogen production facilities to move low-cost renewable power converted to hydrogen and hydrogen derivates to areas of high demand.

William Mezzullo, Centrica’s Head of Hydrogen, explained that “l(fā)ow carbon hydrogen will play a major role in decarbonising our energy systems. It enables the increased use of renewable and low carbon electricity by offering the potential for storage in quantities that provide long term resilience and another choice for decarbonising hard to electrify sectors.”

“We should be bold in our thinking, the UK should aim to be a net exporter of hydrogen, providing high quality green jobs, additional revenues for the UK treasury and a lower cost of transitioning to Net Zero for homeowners and businesses.”

Jo Bamford, green entrepreneur and Executive Chairman of Ryze, said in addition that “it is clear from our conversations with Centrica that it is committed to making hydrogen a valuable component of its net-zero strategy.”

He stressed that the projects the companies have discussed in recent weeks will be “game-changing for the green hydrogen economy” and will underline “why hydrogen is such an important resource for the UK and the rest of the world in the fight against climate change.”

Among the initial projects under consideration, Centrica and Ryze will examine solutions for converting some of the British Gas fleet to hydrogen, including refuelling infrastructure, locations and van technology.

In addition, Bamford said Centrica Business Solutions will work with Ryze to offer hydrogen as an alternative fuel for customers wishing to decarbonise on-site generation. 

Centrica recently announced plans to inject hydrogen into a gas peaking plant at Brigg, Lincolnshire in a trial aimed at better understanding the role of hydrogen in power production.

The company stressed it “has a long-term aim” to turn the Rough gas field into the largest long duration energy storage facility in Europe, capable of storing both natural gas and hydrogen.
