据俄罗斯油气网7月19日消息称，印度石油公司（IOC）将在马图拉炼油厂建造印度第一座"绿色氢气工厂"，旨在为未来满足对石油和清洁能源不断增长的需求做准备。

　　印度石油公司（IOC）首席执行官什里坎特·马达夫·维迪亚说：

　　IOC制定了一条战略增长道路，旨在在未来10年内继续专注于其核心炼油和燃料营销业务，同时在石化、氢气和电力交通领域取得更大的发展

　　该公司不会在其未来的炼油厂和石化扩建项目中设立自营发电厂，而是使用太阳能等可再生能源生产的250兆瓦电力

　　我们在拉贾斯坦邦有一个风力发电项目

　　我们打算把这些电力转到我们的马图拉精炼厂，用这些电力通过电解生产绝对绿色的氢

　　维迪亚说，IOC正在推进碳捕获、利用和储存技术的研究，在这方面，公司正在寻求全球合作，以实现巴黎气候目标。

　　IOC正计划试点建立几个氢气生产单位。

　　这包括在古吉拉特邦炼油厂的一个项目，该项目为氢燃料电池巴士生产99.9%的有限纯度的氢。

　　各机构预测，到2040年，印度的燃料需求将从目前的2.5亿吨攀升至4 - 4.5亿吨。

　　India′s IOC to build India's 1st green hydrogen plant at at its Mathura refinery

　　India's largest oil firm IOC will build the nation's 1st 'green hydrogen plant at Mathura refinery, as it aims to prepare for a future catering to the growing demand for both oil and cleaner forms of energy.

　　CEO of the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) Shrikant Madhav Vaidya said:

　　IOC has drawn a strategic growth path that aims to maintain focus on its core refining and fuel marketing businesses while making bigger inroads into petrochemicals, hydrogen and electric mobility over the next 10 years

　　The company will not set captive power plants at all its future refinery and petrochemical expansion projects and instead use the 250 MW of electricity it produces from renewable sources like solar power

　　We have a wind power project in Rajasthan

　　We intend to wheel that power to our Mathura refinery and use that electricity to produce absolutely green hydrogen through electrolysis

　　Vaidya said IOC was pushing ahead with research on carbon capture, utilisation and storage technologies - space where it is seeking global collaboration to meet its Paris climate goals.

　　IOC is planning to set up several hydrogen production units on a pilot basis.

　　This includes a project at Gujarat refinery to produce finite purity hydrogen of 99.9% for hydrogen fuel cell buses.

　　Forecasts by various agencies seeIndia′s fuel demand climbing to 400-450 million tonnes by 2040 as against 250 million tonnes now.
