伊貝爾德羅拉將在西班牙開建歐洲最大綠色氫氣廠

據世界石油新聞2020年7月24日馬德里報道，西班牙著名私營跨國電氣公司伊貝爾德羅拉公司（Iberdrola）24日在馬德里表示，該公司將開始建造歐洲最大的工業(yè)用綠色氫氣工廠。

伊貝爾德羅拉公司在這個項目中將與西班牙化學品制造商Fertiberia合作，這個項目的基地將設在西班牙中部的Puerollano，由一個100兆瓦的太陽能光伏電廠和氫生產系統組成，這個項目將利用電解法把可再生能源轉變?yōu)闅淙剂稀?/span>

伊貝爾德羅拉公司表示，生產出來的氫氣將被用于位于Puertollano的Fertiberia氨氣廠，以幫助生產化肥。

這個項目的投資總額將達到1.5億歐元(1.74億美元)。

這個歐洲最大的工業(yè)用綠色氫氣廠將在2021年投入運營，每年可減少3.9萬噸二氧化碳排放。

氫氣一直被視為化石燃料的清潔替代品。當它使用由可再生能源供電的電解法從水中提取時，它被稱為“綠色”氫，而現在它的價格仍在每公斤6美元左右。

本月早些時候，歐盟啟動了一項推廣綠色氫的戰(zhàn)略，設法在2050年前達到零排放。

Iberdrola to start construction of green hydrogen plant in Spain

Spanish utility Iberdrola said it is set to start construction on the largest green hydrogen plant for industrial use in Europe.

In partnership with chemical manufacturer Fertiberia, the project will be based in Puerollano, central Spain, and consist of a 100 megawatt solar photovoltaic plant and hydrogen production system which will use electrolysis to convert renewable energy into hydrogen fuel.

The hydrogen produced will be used at the Fertiberia ammonia factory in Puertollano to help make fertilisers, the company said.

The investment will total 150 million euros ($174 million).

The plant should be operational by 2021 and cut 39,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

Hydrogen has been touted as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. When it is extracted from water with electrolysis powered by renewable energy, it is called “green” hydrogen and it is still costly at around $6/kg today.

Earlier this month, the EU launched a strategy to promote green hydrogen as it tries to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
