據(jù)12月23日offshore energy消息：俄羅斯天然氣生產(chǎn)商諾瓦泰克(Novatek)與德國能源公司Uniper簽署了一份協(xié)議，將主要向德國市場長期供應(yīng)氨氣。

此協(xié)議的簽署基于雙方在2021年1月早些時候簽署的諒解備忘錄推進(jìn)了大規(guī)模合作。這一初步合作設(shè)定了評估發(fā)展氫價值鏈可能性的目標(biāo)。

具體來說，諾瓦泰克現(xiàn)在每年將提供多達(dá)120萬噸的低碳氨。

諾瓦泰克將在其計劃中的Obskiy GCC(氣體化學(xué)復(fù)合體)項目生產(chǎn)氨氣。該項目將包括碳捕獲和儲存(CCS)設(shè)施。

氨將進(jìn)入Uniper計劃在威廉港的氨終端，該終端配備了一個使用可再生能源運行的氨裂解器。

這種低碳燃料將作為氫載體。Uniper將把它用于未來的德國氫氣管道系統(tǒng)。它也將作為清潔原料和燃料直接供應(yīng)。

諾瓦泰克的Leonid Mikhelson說：“我們的戰(zhàn)略非常關(guān)注清潔能源供應(yīng)，我們認(rèn)為氨是海上運輸最有效的氫載體。”

他還表示，他們現(xiàn)在正處于一個具有CCS設(shè)施的氨和氫工廠的預(yù)FEED階段。該文件的簽署表明，對低碳產(chǎn)品的需求不斷增長；這是本項目最終投資決策的重要前提。

“該工廠將位于亞馬爾的液化天然氣集群旁邊，以最大限度地降低基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施成本，并為全球市場提供最具競爭力的清潔能源供應(yīng)”。

Novatek and Uniper sign cooperation on ammonia supply

Russia’s natural gas producer Novatek and Germany’s energy company Uniper signed a term sheet on long-term supply of ammonia to primarily German market.

The signing of the term sheet progresses large-scale cooperation based on the MoU that the parties signed earlier in January 2021. This initial collaboration has set the goal of assessing the possibilities of developing a hydrogen value chain.

Specifically, Novatek is now to yearly deliver up to 1.2 million tonnes of low-carbon ammonia.

Novatek will produce the ammonia at its planned Obskiy GCC (Gas Chemical Complex) project. The project will include carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities.

Ammonia will go to Uniper’s planned ammonia terminal in Wilhelmshaven, equipped with an ammonia cracker operating with renewable power.

This low-carbon fuel will serve as a hydrogen carrier. Uniper will use it for future German hydrogen pipeline systems. It will also be supplied directly as a clean feedstock and as a fuel.

“Our strategy pays significant attention to clean energy supplies, and we consider ammonia as the most efficient hydrogen carrier for seaborne transportation,” said Leonid Mikhelson from Novatek.

He also said that they are now at the pre-FEED stage for an ammonia and hydrogen plant with CCS facilities. The signing of this sheet thus demonstrated a growing demand for low-carbon products; which is an essential precursor for the Final Investment Decision on this project.

“The plant will be located next to our LNG cluster in Yamal in order to minimize the infrastructure costs and provide the most competitive clean energy supplies to the global market”.
