據管道新聞網4月21日消息稱，葡萄牙項目開發商Madoqua Renewables公司、丹麥基金管理公司Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP)和荷蘭公司Power2X周四宣布，計劃投資10億歐元(10.9億美元)在葡萄牙建設一座綠色氫廠。

他們在一份聲明中說，該工廠的第一批產品將建在里斯本以南150公里(93英里)的港口城市辛斯，預計到2025年，工廠將由風能和太陽能發電廠提供電力，這些發電廠將并行建設。

所謂的綠色氫，使用可再生電力生產，被視為一種關鍵的能源，可以減少來自長途重型運輸、鋼鐵、化工和發電的污染。

兩家公司表示，該工廠將包括一個500兆瓦的電解槽，每年生產5萬噸綠色氫和50萬噸綠色氨。

合作協議將于周五正式簽署，許可工作預計將于明年年底完成。該工廠將在2030年達到滿負荷生產。

領導該財團的Madoqua Renewables公司首席執行官Rogaciano Rebelo表示：“從結構上講，葡萄牙處于有利地位，可以在歐洲新興的能源轉型領域發揮主導作用?！?/p>

聲明稱，生產的氫氣預計將用于當地工業，但也將通過目前正在開發的管道運輸，注入現有的天然氣網絡，或加工成綠色氨，從sinins港口出口。

葡萄牙最大的公用事業公司EDP和石油和天然氣公司Galp Energia都計劃在辛斯的同一個工業中心建造綠色氫氣廠。

Portuguese-Danish-Dutch Consortium Plans $1.1 Billion Hydrogen Plant in Sines

Portuguese project developer Madoqua Renewables, Danish fund manager Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Dutch firm Power2X announced plans on Thursday to invest 1 billion euros ($1.09 billion) in a green hydrogen plant in Portugal.

First production at the plant will be erected in the port city of Sines, 150 km (93 miles) south of Lisbon, and is expected by 2025, and the plant will be powered by wind and solar parks that will be built in parallel, they said in a statement.

So-called green hydrogen, produced using renewable electricity, is seen as a key power source that can reduce pollution from long-haul heavy transport, steel and chemical industries and power generation.

The companies said the plant would include a 500-megawatt electrolyzer to produce 50,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 500,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year.

The partnership agreement will be formally sealed on Friday, with licensing expected to be completed by the end of next year. The plant should reach full capacity by 2030.

"Portugal is structurally well positioned to play a leading role in Europe's emerging energy transition space," said Rogaciano Rebelo, CEO of Madoqua Renewables, which leads the consortium.

The hydrogen produced is expected to be used by local industry, but also transported by a pipeline currently being developed, injected into the existing natural gas network or processed to create green ammonia for export from the port of Sines, the statement said.

Portugal's largest utility EDP and oil and gas company Galp Energia are both planning to build green hydrogen plants in the same industrial hub of Sines.
