德国寻求海上风电制氢项目的权宜之计

据世界天然气7月20日报道称，德国海上风电行业的代表敦促政府尽快招标生产绿色氢气所需的额外海上风电区域。

BWE、BWO、VDMA、WAB和德国海上风能基金会表示，德国国家氢能战略（NWS）为利用约3GW的海上风能生产绿色氢创造了机会，因此必须对其他领域进行预先调查，尽快进行投标。

在区域开发计划的初稿中，联邦海洋和水文局（BSH）指定了北海和波罗的海的前两个Power-to-X站点，授予程序应于2021年开始。

协会表示：“由于海上风电场的规划时间较长，扩张缺口迫在眉睫。目前面对的挑战是尽可能缩小这一扩张差距，并持续和永久地加强国内海上风能市场。”

协会还表示，北海和波罗的海的潜力尚未枯竭，可用区域和1860兆瓦的免费电网容量可在短时间内分配。

区域开发计划中写道，如果现在确定正确的路线，这些不仅将为疫情危机后的可持续经济复苏做出重大贡献，而且将为实现气候目标和能源转型期间的供应安全做出巨大贡献。

Germans seek expedience on offshore wind to hydrogen projects

Representatives from the German offshore wind industry are urging the government to issue tenders for additional offshore wind areas needed to produce green hydrogen as quickly as possible.

Germany’s National Hydrogen Strategy (NWS) opens up the opportunity to use about 3 GW of offshore wind energy to produce green hydrogen, thus additional areas must be pre-investigated and put out to tender as quickly as possible, BWE, BWO, VDMA, WAB and the German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation stated.

In the preliminary draft of the area development plan, the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) named the first two sites for Power-to-X in the North Sea and Baltic Sea, for which the award procedure should begin in 2021.

“Not least because of the long planning time of offshore wind farms, we have long warned that an expansion gap is imminent. We are now in the middle of it. The challenge now is to keep this expansion gap as small as possible and to strengthen the domestic market for offshore wind energy sustainably and permanently,” the organizations said.

“In addition to anchoring the long-term goals in law, this also includes putting the available areas out to tender as quickly as possible and choosing an economically efficient remuneration system for future offshore wind projects.”

According to the associations, the potential in the North and Baltic Seas is not yet exhausted and available areas and free grid capacities of 1,860 MW could be allocated at short notice.

“If the right course is set now, these will not only make a significant contribution to the sustainable economic recovery after the Corona crisis, but will also contribute greatly to achieving the climate targets and security of supply during the energy transition,” it was concluded.
