Uniper與GE合作為歐洲天然氣廠脫碳

據(jù)天然氣工業(yè)7月25日消息稱，德國(guó)公用事業(yè)公司Uniper表示，將與通用電氣合作制定一項(xiàng)計(jì)劃，在2021年初之前對(duì)其歐洲的天然氣發(fā)電廠進(jìn)行脫碳。

Uniper首席執(zhí)行官Andreas Schierenbeck在一份聲明中說(shuō)：“幾年后，Uniper的歐洲工廠將主要由環(huán)保的天然氣發(fā)電和不含二氧化碳的水力發(fā)電組成?！?/span>

該協(xié)議于上月簽署。此前，Uniper與西門(mén)子簽署了一項(xiàng)合作協(xié)議，考慮在Uniper的天然氣發(fā)電廠使用氫氣，并利用其風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)發(fā)電來(lái)生產(chǎn)無(wú)碳?xì)怏w。

在整個(gè)歐洲，由芬蘭Fortum控股的Uniper經(jīng)營(yíng)的天然氣發(fā)電廠的發(fā)電量約9吉瓦，超過(guò)其總發(fā)電量的四分之一。

作為其減排努力的一部分，Uniper計(jì)劃在未來(lái)五年內(nèi)關(guān)閉三家德國(guó)硬煤發(fā)電廠，占其在歐洲燃煤發(fā)電量的一半。

Uniper to work with GE to decarbonize European gas plants

German utility Uniper will work out a plan to decarbonize its European gas-fired power plants by early 2021 in a cooperation with General Electric, it said.

“In a few years, Uniper’s European fleet will consist mainly of climate-friendly gas-fired power plants and CO2-free hydropower,” Uniper Chief Executive Andreas Schierenbeck said in a statement.

The agreement, which was signed last month, follows a cooperation deal with Siemens to look at using hydrogen at Uniper’s gas-fired power plants and producing the carbon-free gas with power from its wind turbines.

Across Europe, Uniper, which is majority-owned by Finland’s Fortum, operates gas-fired power plants of around 9 gigawatts, which is more than a quarter of its total generation capacity.

As part of its efforts to cut its emissions, Uniper aims to close three German hard coal-fired power plants, half its European coal-fired capacity, over the next five years.
