???? 據俄羅斯油氣網3月3日消息稱,英力士和Engie正計劃在比利時進行一項試點項目,將在一個商業規模的熱電聯產工廠中使用氫,取代天然氣作為發電和供熱的原料。最初,10%的天然氣原料將被氫取代,如果一切順利,這一比例將增加到20%。
????Engie Generation歐洲公司首席執行官Cedric Osterrieth說:Engie相信氫是實現碳中性經濟的關鍵環節,并希望在這些工業規模的試驗中發揮先鋒作用,無論是在研究方面還是在實際實施方面。這個試點項目將讓我們更好地了解使用氫來減少碳排放,讓我們離碳中性的未來更近一步。
????英力士去年年底為其位于比利時安特衛普的工廠制定了路線圖,計劃在2050年前實現氣候中和,并在2030年前減少55%的排放(以1990年的水平為基礎)。這一試點項目是路線圖的一部分。
????英力士苯酚工廠首席執行官Hans Casier說:如今,英力士已經每年生產30萬噸氫,作為其化學過程的“副產品”。這種氫氣在其自身的生產過程中主要用作低碳燃料和原料,因此需要使用的化石原料更少。英力士最近開始了一項新的業務活動,重點是發展“清潔氫產能”。
????在尋求綠色能源的過程中,這種氫燃料轉型在全球范圍內變得越來越普遍。許多專家認為,隨著世界朝著氣候中性能源目標邁進,氫燃料將成為一種重要的可再生能源。

????British Ineos and French Engie launches hydrogen pilot project
????Ineos and Engie are planning a pilot project in Belgium, that will use hydrogen in a commercial-scale cogeneration plant, replacing the natural gas feed for generating electricity and heat. Initially, 10% of the gas feed will be replaced with hydrogen and, if all goes well, this will be increased to 20%.
????Cedric Osterrieth, CEO Engie Generation Europe, said: Engie believes in hydrogen as a key link to a carbon-neutral economy and wants to take a pioneering role with these industrial-scale tests, both in terms of research and practical implementation. This pilot project will give us better insights into the use of hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions, bringing us one step closer to a carbon-neutral future.
????The initiative is part of the roadmap that Ineos defined late last year for its sites in Antwerp, Belgium, to become climate neutral by 2050 and to cut emissions by 55% by 2030 (based on 1990 levels).
????Hans Casier, CEO Ineos Phenol, said: Today, Ineos already produces 300,000 tons of hydrogen on an annual basis as a ‘co-product’ of its chemical processes. This hydrogen is largely used as a low-carbon fuel and as a raw material in its own production processes so that fewer fossil raw materials have to be used. Ineos recently started a new business activity that focuses on the development of ?clean hydrogen capacity?.
????This hydrogen fuel transition is becoming more commonplace worldwide in tests for greener energy. Many experts feel that H2 will become an important renewable energy source as the world moves toward climate-neutral power targets.
