據鉆機地帶6月30日消息稱，埃尼英國公司和Uniper公司宣布簽署諒解備忘錄，共同評估北威爾士地區的脫碳計劃。

　　埃尼指出，此次合作與英國政府的綠色工業革命10點計劃相一致，將調查技術和商業可行性，以在該地區未來開展低碳項目倡議。

　　埃尼英國公司目前擁有并經營利物浦灣的油氣田，將從這些油氣田提取的天然氣供應給Uniper公司在弗林特郡擁有的Connah 's Quay發電站。該諒解備忘錄將支持Uniper對未來在Uniper工廠生產藍綠氫的機會進行調查，以及捕獲過程中作為副產品產生的任何二氧化碳。埃尼英國公司透露，該公司將利用其基礎設施在利物浦灣運輸和存儲二氧化碳。

　　埃尼公司北歐地區管理負責人Phillip Hemmens在公司聲明中表示：“這是一個激動人心的時刻，投資脫碳技術，使英國成為綠色工業革命的全球領導者。”

　　他補充道：“我們希望埃尼英國公司和 Uniper 之間未來合作的承諾將進一步補充我們正在進行的更廣泛的HyNet西北項目的工作將英格蘭西北部和北威爾士置于英國實現凈零排放的前列，并從2025年起幫助許多經濟部門脫碳”。

　　Uniper英國公司主席兼集團首席電力商務官 Mike Lockett 說：“Uniper的Connah 's Quay電站是北威爾士和英格蘭西北部脫碳故事的理想組成部分，因為我們希望在英國發展我們的氫氣能力。”

　　他補充說:“我們期待與埃尼英國公司合作，探索該地區未來的氫氣生產和CCS機會。”

　　埃尼強調，該諒解備忘錄標志著埃尼英國公司與位于英格蘭西北部和北威爾士的公司之間的幾項協議的最新進展，該公司正在發展其CCS業務。據稱，這些協議是該公司引領能源轉型的業務戰略的一部分，并在英國2050年實現凈零排放的目標中發揮重要作用。

　　Eni and Uniper in Decarbonization MOU

　　Eni UK and Uniper have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly evaluate decarbonization initiatives in North Wales.

　　The collaboration, which is said to be in line with the UK government’s ten point plan for green industrial revolution, will investigate the technical and commercial feasibility to work together on future low carbon project initiatives in the region, Eni noted.

　　Eni UK currently owns and operates the oil and gas fields in Liverpool Bay, feeding gas extracted from the fields into the Uniper owned Connah’s Quay power station in Flintshire. The MOU will support Uniper’s investigations into future opportunities for blue and green hydrogen production at Uniper’s site, as well as the capture of any CO2 produced as a by-product from the process. Eni UK will use its infrastructure to transport and store the CO2 in Liverpool Bay, the company revealed.

　　“This is an exciting time to invest in decarbonization technologies to make the UK a global leader in the green industrial revolution,” Phillip Hemmens, Eni’s head of north Europe region management, said in a company statement.

　　“We hope this commitment for future cooperation between Eni UK and Uniper will further complement our ongoing work with the wider HyNet North West project, placing the North West of England and North Wales at the forefront of the UK’s journey to Net Zero and helping to decarbonize many sectors of the economy from 2025 onwards,” he added.

　　Mike Lockett, Uniper UK country chairman and group chief commercial officer of power, said, “Uniper’s Connah’s Quay power station is ideally placed to be part of the decarbonization story for North Wales and the North West of England, as we look to grow our hydrogen capability in the UK”.

　　“We look forward to working together with Eni UK to explore future hydrogen production and CCS opportunities at the site,” he added.

　　Eni highlighted that the MOU marks the latest of several agreements between Eni UK and companies based in the North West of England and North Wales as the company develops its CCS business. The agreements are said to form part of company’s business strategy to lead the energy transition and play a significant role in the UK’s target for Net Zero emissions by 2050.
