???? 据路透社3月18日伦敦报道，英国能源集团英国石油(BP)周四表示，计划到2030年建成英国最大的氢工厂，这是英国推动使用氢燃料、减少温室气体排放的举措之一。

????位于英格兰北部的提赛德工厂将拥有高达1吉瓦(GW)的所谓“蓝氢”产能，约为英国在2020年之前5吉瓦目标的五分之一。

????蓝氢是通过将天然气转化为氢气并储存其生产过程中排放的二氧化碳来生产的。

????英英国石油公司已经开始对该项目进行可行性研究，以探索能够捕获氢气生产过程中高达98%的碳排放的技术。英国石油公司表示，被称为H2Teesside的提赛德项目预计每年可捕获多达200万吨二氧化碳(CO2)，并通过管道将其储存在北海下方。

????H2Teesside将与Net Zero Teesside(NZT)联系起来，NZT是一个规划中的工业区，也将与碳捕获和储存项目联系起来。英国石油公司补充说，这些氢气还可以用于该地区居民家庭供暖或用于运输。

????各国政府和能源公司正押下重注，希望清洁氢能在降低温室气体排放的努力中发挥主导作用，但其未来的用途和成本还很不确定。

????英国周三宣布了一项工业低碳化战略，旨在通过包括碳捕集和氢气在内的项目，在15年内将工业的排放量减少三分之二。

????"在实现净零碳排放的道路上，清洁氢气是电气化的重要补充，"BP天然气和低碳能源主管Dev Sanyal说。

????"蓝氢也可以在使难以电气化的行业脱碳和推动降低能源转型成本方面发挥重要作用。"

????该公司表示，将在2024年初对H2Teeside项目做出最终投资决定，并可能在2027年或更早开始生产。

????挪威能源公司Equinor去年宣布，计划在英格兰北部的亨伯地区建造一座蓝色氢工厂。

????BP plans to build Britain's largest hydrogen plant

????Energy group BP aims to build Britain’s largest hydrogen plant by 2030, it said on Thursday, as part of the country’s push to boost use of the fuel and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

????The Teesside plant in northern England will have capacity of up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of so-called blue hydrogen, about a fifth of Britain’s target of 5 GW of hydrogen capacity by the end of the decade.

????Blue hydrogen is produced by converting natural gas into hydrogen and storing the CO2 emissions from its production.

????BP has begun a feasibility study on the project to explore technologies that could capture up to 98% of carbon emissions from the hydrogen production process. The Teesside project, dubbed H2Teesside, is expected to capture up to two million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) a year and pipe it into storage below the North Sea, BP said.

????H2Teesside will be linked with Net Zero Teesside (NZT), a planned industrial zone that will also be linked to a carbon capture and storage project. The hydrogen could also be used for heating residential homes in the region or for transportation, BP added.

????Governments and energy companies are placing large bets on clean hydrogen playing a leading role in efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions, but its future uses and costs are highly uncertain.

????Britain on Wednesday announced an industrial decarbonisation strategy aiming to cut emissions from industry by two thirds in 15 years through projects including carbon capture and hydrogen.

????“Clean hydrogen is an essential complement to electrification on the path to net-zero carbon emissions,” said Dev Sanyal, BP’s head of gas and low carbon energy.

????“Blue hydrogen ... can also play an essential role in decarbonising hard-to-electrify industries and driving down the cost of the energy transition.”

????The company will make a final investment decision on the H2Teeside project in early 2024 and production could begin in 2027 or earlier, it said.

????Norwegian energy company Equinor last year announced plans to construct a blue hydrogen plant in the Humber region in northern England.
