Uniper与GE合作为欧洲天然气厂脱碳

据天然气工业7月25日消息称，德国公用事业公司Uniper表示，将与通用电气合作制定一项计划，在2021年初之前对其欧洲的天然气发电厂进行脱碳。

Uniper首席执行官Andreas Schierenbeck在一份声明中说：“几年后，Uniper的欧洲工厂将主要由环保的天然气发电和不含二氧化碳的水力发电组成。”

该协议于上月签署。此前，Uniper与西门子签署了一项合作协议，考虑在Uniper的天然气发电厂使用氢气，并利用其风力涡轮机发电来生产无碳气体。

在整个欧洲，由芬兰Fortum控股的Uniper经营的天然气发电厂的发电量约9吉瓦，超过其总发电量的四分之一。

作为其减排努力的一部分，Uniper计划在未来五年内关闭三家德国硬煤发电厂，占其在欧洲燃煤发电量的一半。

Uniper to work with GE to decarbonize European gas plants

German utility Uniper will work out a plan to decarbonize its European gas-fired power plants by early 2021 in a cooperation with General Electric, it said.

“In a few years, Uniper’s European fleet will consist mainly of climate-friendly gas-fired power plants and CO2-free hydropower,” Uniper Chief Executive Andreas Schierenbeck said in a statement.

The agreement, which was signed last month, follows a cooperation deal with Siemens to look at using hydrogen at Uniper’s gas-fired power plants and producing the carbon-free gas with power from its wind turbines.

Across Europe, Uniper, which is majority-owned by Finland’s Fortum, operates gas-fired power plants of around 9 gigawatts, which is more than a quarter of its total generation capacity.

As part of its efforts to cut its emissions, Uniper aims to close three German hard coal-fired power plants, half its European coal-fired capacity, over the next five years.
