西門子將在德國南部建造大型制氫工廠

據烴加工新聞10月9日消息稱，西門子智能基礎設施公司和WUN H2 GmbH簽署了一份合同，將在德國建造一座大型制氫工廠。它將建在巴伐利亞北部的文西德爾。在初始開發(fā)階段，該工廠將僅使用可再生能源生產6兆瓦電力，并且不會產生二氧化碳。在第一階段，西門子能源公司的電解廠將有能力每年生產超過900噸的氫氣。當完全擴大后，它將能夠供應多達2000噸。破土動工定于今年年底，2021年底投入使用。

德國已承諾到2050年實現溫室氣體中和。為此，所有能源消耗部門，例如運輸和工業(yè)部門，都必須推進脫碳。這家位于文西德爾的工廠將成為全德國的典范。它將把該地區(qū)現有的可再生能源，例如光電和風能，轉化為可儲存的氫(H2)，使其可用于交通運輸和工業(yè)。在陽光明媚、多風的日子里，這一點尤其有用，因為可再生能源產生的能源超過了所需。

該電解工廠將建在文西德爾能源園區(qū)內，毗鄰西門子已投產的電池存儲設施，這將補充前瞻性能源概念?！霸擁椖渴俏鏖T子與SWW Wunsiedel GmbH之間實踐中成功的技術合作伙伴關系的另一個要素。

德國西門子公司首席執(zhí)行官、德國智能基礎設施區(qū)域解決方案和服務首席執(zhí)行官Uwe Bartmann表示:“我們今天就想在當地實現德國2050年的目標，即在所有領域實現能源完全轉型。該項目將使巴伐利亞北部地區(qū)擁有自己的氫資源。到目前為止，終端客戶使用的天然氣需要走相當長的路。氫氣將被裝進氣瓶供當地分配，然后用卡車運往當地和地區(qū)的終端客戶，主要是上弗蘭科尼亞、上普法爾茨、南圖林根和薩克森。該工廠還將有助于緩解電網瓶頸，并為電網提供靈活性

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.
