據(jù)世界石油2月15日消息稱，海王星能源和 RWE 宣布簽署聯(lián)合開發(fā)協(xié)議，在 2030 年之前開發(fā)海上綠色氫項目“H2opZee”。

H2opZee是一個示范項目，旨在在北海建立300-500兆瓦的電解槽容量，利用海上風能生產(chǎn)綠色氫。然后，氫氣將通過現(xiàn)有的管道輸送到陸地上。

該管道的容量為 10-12 吉瓦 (GW)，因此已經(jīng)適合在北海進一步推出千兆瓦級綠色氫氣生產(chǎn)。目的是在 2022 年第二季度開始可行性研究。該項目是TKI Wind op Zee的倡議，該倡議由荷蘭政府支持，將人員、知識和資金結(jié)合在一起，以支持海上能源轉(zhuǎn)型。

H2opZee 由兩個階段組成。首先，將進行可行性研究，并建立一個可訪問的知識平臺。其目標是開始在荷蘭推廣在海上使用氫氣。第二階段將實施該項目。對于這一階段，招標方法尚未確定。

海王星能源在荷蘭的董事總經(jīng)理 Lex de Groot 說：“我們認為綠色氫在未來的能源供應(yīng)中扮演著重要的角色，它可以在北海生產(chǎn)。如果我們將現(xiàn)有的天然氣基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施整合到新的系統(tǒng)中，能源轉(zhuǎn)型就可以更快、更便宜、更清潔。

“這種基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施在技術(shù)上是合適的，不需要在海上鋪設(shè)新的管道，也不需要通過沿海地區(qū)進行新的登陸。通過PosHYdon試點項目，我們是海上能源系統(tǒng)集成和再利用領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者之一。從這個項目中學到的經(jīng)驗教訓(xùn)適用于H2opZee。

“我們在海上推廣綠色氫氣的速度越快，化工和鋼鐵生產(chǎn)等行業(yè)就能越快變得更具可持續(xù)性。憑借H2opZee，荷蘭正在成為這一領(lǐng)域的世界領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。這就是為什么我們和RWE一起對H2opZee以及它能給荷蘭帶來的東西充滿熱情。”

RWE可再生能源公司的海上風能首席執(zhí)行官Sven Uterm?hlen說:“氫是能源密集型行業(yè)脫碳的游戲規(guī)則改變者，H2opZee是世界上第一個這種類型和規(guī)模的。在海王星能源公司的支持下，我們希望開發(fā)H2opZee項目，以展示海上風能如何成為大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)綠色氫的理想合作伙伴，并探索系統(tǒng)集成方面的最佳方式。

“對于RWE，我們在海上風電領(lǐng)域擁有 20 年的歷史記錄，并且在整個價值鏈中擁有氫能專業(yè)知識。我們相信，從H2opZee示范項目中獲得的經(jīng)驗將有助于提高荷蘭的氫經(jīng)濟，因為這是向大規(guī)模推廣海上綠色氫生產(chǎn)邁出的重要一步。”

Neptune Energy & RWE to accelerate green hydrogen production in Dutch North Sea

Neptune Energy and RWE announced the signing of a Joint Development Agreement to develop the offshore green hydrogen project "H2opZee" ahead of 2030.

H2opZee is a demonstration project which aims to build 300-500 megawatts (MW) electrolyzer capacity in the North Sea to produce green hydrogen using offshore wind. The hydrogen will then be transported to land through an existing pipeline.

The pipeline has a capacity of 10-12 gigawatts (GW), so is already suitable for the further roll-out of green hydrogen production to gigawatt scale in the North Sea. The intention is to begin the feasibility study in the second quarter of 2022. The project is an initiative of TKI Wind op Zee, an initiative supported by the Dutch government bringing people, knowledge and financing together to support the offshore energy transition.

H2opZee consists of two phases. In the first, a feasibility study will be carried out and an accessible knowledge platform will be set up. The objective is to start the roll-out of hydrogen at sea in the Netherlands. In the second phase, the project will be implemented. For this phase, a tender methodology has yet to be defined.

Neptune Energy’s Managing Director in the Netherlands, Lex de Groot, said: “We see an important role for green hydrogen in future energy supply, and it can be produced here in the North Sea. The energy transition can be faster, cheaper and cleaner if we integrate existing gas infrastructure into new systems.

“This infrastructure is technically suitable, no new pipeline at sea is needed and no new landfall is required through the coastal area. With the PosHYdon pilot we are one of the leaders in this field of offshore energy system integration and reuse. The lessons learned from this project apply to H2opZee.

“The faster we can scale up green hydrogen at sea, the faster industries such as chemicals and steel production can become more sustainable. With H2opZee, the Netherlands is becoming a world leader in this area. That is why we, together with RWE, are enthusiastic about H2opZee and what it has to offer the Netherlands.”

Sven Uterm?hlen, CEO Offshore Wind at RWE Renewables, said: “Hydrogen is a gamechanger in the decarbonisation of energy-intensive sectors and H2opZee is a world first of this kind and scale. With Neptune Energy at our side, we want to develop the H2opZee project to demonstrate how offshore wind can be an ideal partner for the production of green hydrogen at scale and to explore the best way in terms of system integration.

“As RWE, we have a 20-years’ track record in offshore wind and have the hydrogen expertise along the entire value chain under one roof. We are convinced that learnings from the H2opZee demonstration project will help in ramping-up the hydrogen economy in the Netherlands as it presents an important step towards the roll-out of green hydrogen production offshore at large scale.”
