德国炼油厂将建30兆瓦氢电解厂

据烃加工网站8月3日消息 参与汉堡附近海德炼油厂氢气项目的公司表示，他们将建造一座30兆瓦的电解工厂，作为开发商业规模无碳能源的第一步。

德国上个月同意了一项国家氢能战略，以帮助经济脱碳，包括提供90亿欧元（105.8亿美元）帮助推动新项目，使其从试点状态过渡到生产可销售的清洁燃料。

该国的目标是到2030年实现5000兆瓦的电解能力，以取代常规能源和核能，并开发供热和运输燃料，最终取代天然气和石油。

参与海德炼油厂项目的合作伙伴WESTKUESTE 100获得了经济部3000万欧元资金的批准。同时将提供5900万欧元，总投资8900万欧元。

投资计划相对适度，但30兆瓦的电厂规模被认为是发展氢燃料的一个重要转变。

十年来，德国一直在试验大约40家电解厂，但迄今最大的一家为6兆瓦。

这家工厂将把风力涡轮机的电能通过水来提取无碳氢，这些氢将被海德炼油厂用来代替化石燃料氢。

该工厂还将生产替代氢燃料，以满足项目合作伙伴的原材料需求，从热能到煤油和塑料。

该项目的10个合作伙伴包括法国电力公司和水泥生产商豪瑞的德国分部、天然气管道运营商欧洲开放电网公司（OGE）、丹麦风力公司Orsted、海德炼油厂、海德镇的市政公用事业、当地公用事业网络Thuega和蒂森克虏伯工业解决方案公司。

其中8个合作伙伴是与海德地区公共部门发展署和威斯特库斯特应用科学大学合作的公司。

EDF、Orsted和私营的海德炼油厂将以新成立的合资伙伴关系建设该工厂。

German oil refinery to build 30 MW hydrogen electrolysis plant

Companies involved in a hydrogen project at the Heide oil refinery near Hamburg said they would build a 30 megawatts (MW) electrolysis plant as a first step towards developing commercial-scale carbon-free energy.

Germany last month agreed a national hydrogen strategy to help to decarbonise the economy, including providing 9 billion euros ($10.58 billion) to help promote new projects that can make the transition from pilot status to production of marketable clean fuel.

The country is aiming for 5,000 MW of electrolysis capacity by 2030 to replace conventional and nuclear power and to develop fuel for heating and transport to eventually replace gas and oil.

The partners involved in the Heide refinery project, known as WESTKUESTE 100, received approval for 30 million euros in funding from the economy ministry. They are providing 59 million euros making at total investment of 89 million, they said.

The spending plans are modest but the size of the plant - at 30 MW - is a considered a game changer in the development of hydrogen as a fuel.

Germany has been experimenting with around 40 electrolysis plants for a decade but the biggest so far measures 6 MW.

The plant will pass electricity from wind turbines through water to extract carbon-free hydrogen that will be used by the Heide refinery instead of fossil fuel-based hydrogen.

The plant will also produce alternative hydrogen fuels for the raw material needs of the partners in the project ranging from heat to kerosene and plastics.

The 10 partners in the project include the German sections of French utility EDF and cement maker Holcim, gas pipeline operator Open Grid Europe (OGE), Danish wind company Orsted, the Heide refinery, the Heide town’s municipal utility, local utility network Thuega and Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions.

Eight of the partners are companies which are working with the Heide region’s public sector development agency and the Westkueste University of Applied Sciences.

EDF, Orsted and the privately-owned Heide refinery will construct the plant in a newly founded joint-venture partnership.
