西門(mén)子將在德國(guó)南部建造大型制氫工廠

據(jù)烴加工新聞10月9日消息稱，西門(mén)子智能基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施公司和WUN H2 GmbH簽署了一份合同，將在德國(guó)建造一座大型制氫工廠。它將建在巴伐利亞北部的文西德?tīng)?。在初始開(kāi)發(fā)階段，該工廠將僅使用可再生能源生產(chǎn)6兆瓦電力，并且不會(huì)產(chǎn)生二氧化碳。在第一階段，西門(mén)子能源公司的電解廠將有能力每年生產(chǎn)超過(guò)900噸的氫氣。當(dāng)完全擴(kuò)大后，它將能夠供應(yīng)多達(dá)2000噸。破土動(dòng)工定于今年年底，2021年底投入使用。

德國(guó)已承諾到2050年實(shí)現(xiàn)溫室氣體中和。為此，所有能源消耗部門(mén)，例如運(yùn)輸和工業(yè)部門(mén)，都必須推進(jìn)脫碳。這家位于文西德?tīng)柕墓S將成為全德國(guó)的典范。它將把該地區(qū)現(xiàn)有的可再生能源，例如光電和風(fēng)能，轉(zhuǎn)化為可儲(chǔ)存的氫(H2)，使其可用于交通運(yùn)輸和工業(yè)。在陽(yáng)光明媚、多風(fēng)的日子里，這一點(diǎn)尤其有用，因?yàn)榭稍偕茉串a(chǎn)生的能源超過(guò)了所需。

該電解工廠將建在文西德?tīng)柲茉磮@區(qū)內(nèi)，毗鄰西門(mén)子已投產(chǎn)的電池存儲(chǔ)設(shè)施，這將補(bǔ)充前瞻性能源概念。“該項(xiàng)目是西門(mén)子與SWW Wunsiedel GmbH之間實(shí)踐中成功的技術(shù)合作伙伴關(guān)系的另一個(gè)要素。

Siemens to build large CO2-free hydrogen production plant in southern Germany

Siemens Smart Infrastructure and WUN H2 GmbH signed a contract to build one of the largest hydrogen production plants in Germany. It will be built in Wunsiedel in the north of Bavaria. With a power intake of six megawatts in the initial development phase, the plant will run solely on renewable energy and will be CO2-free. The electrolysis plant from Siemens Energy will have the capacity to produce over 900 tons of hydrogen per year in this first phase. When fully expanded, it will be able to supply up to 2,000 tons. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the end of this year and commissioning at the end of 2021.

Germany has pledged to be greenhouse gas-neutral by 2050. To this end, all sectors that use energy, such as transportation and industry, must press ahead with decarbonization. The plant in Wunsiedel will serve as a model for all of Germany. It will convert the renewable energy available in this region, e.g., from photovoltaics and wind power, into storable hydrogen (H2), making it available for applications in mobility and industry. This is especially useful when, on sunny and windy days, more energy from renewable sources is produced than needed.

The electrolysis plant will be built in the Wunsiedel Energy Park next to the Siemens manufactured battery storage facility already in operation, complementing the forward-looking energy concept. “This project is another element of a practiced, successful technology partnership between Siemens and SWW Wunsiedel GmbH.

We want to achieve locally already today what Germany is targeting for 2050, namely a complete energy transition across all sectors,” stated Uwe Bartmann, CEO of Siemens Germany and CEO of Smart Infrastructure Regional Solutions & Services Germany. The project will give the northern Bavaria region its very own hydrogen source. Until now, gas for end customers had to travel a relatively long way. The hydrogen will be filled into gas cylinders for local distribution and shipped by truck to local and regional end customers, mostly in Upper Franconia, the Upper Palatinate, southern Thuringia and Saxony. The plant will also help ease grid bottlenecks and provide flexibility for the grid.
