伊贝尔德罗拉将在西班牙开建欧洲最大绿色氢气厂

据世界石油新闻2020年7月24日马德里报道，西班牙著名私营跨国电气公司伊贝尔德罗拉公司（Iberdrola）24日在马德里表示，该公司将开始建造欧洲最大的工业用绿色氢气工厂。

伊贝尔德罗拉公司在这个项目中将与西班牙化学品制造商Fertiberia合作，这个项目的基地将设在西班牙中部的Puerollano，由一个100兆瓦的太阳能光伏电厂和氢生产系统组成，这个项目将利用电解法把可再生能源转变为氢燃料。

伊贝尔德罗拉公司表示，生产出来的氢气将被用于位于Puertollano的Fertiberia氨气厂，以帮助生产化肥。

这个项目的投资总额将达到1.5亿欧元(1.74亿美元)。

这个欧洲最大的工业用绿色氢气厂将在2021年投入运营，每年可减少3.9万吨二氧化碳排放。

氢气一直被视为化石燃料的清洁替代品。当它使用由可再生能源供电的电解法从水中提取时，它被称为“绿色”氢，而现在它的价格仍在每公斤6美元左右。

本月早些时候，欧盟启动了一项推广绿色氢的战略，设法在2050年前达到零排放。

Iberdrola to start construction of green hydrogen plant in Spain

Spanish utility Iberdrola said it is set to start construction on the largest green hydrogen plant for industrial use in Europe.

In partnership with chemical manufacturer Fertiberia, the project will be based in Puerollano, central Spain, and consist of a 100 megawatt solar photovoltaic plant and hydrogen production system which will use electrolysis to convert renewable energy into hydrogen fuel.

The hydrogen produced will be used at the Fertiberia ammonia factory in Puertollano to help make fertilisers, the company said.

The investment will total 150 million euros ($174 million).

The plant should be operational by 2021 and cut 39,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

Hydrogen has been touted as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. When it is extracted from water with electrolysis powered by renewable energy, it is called “green” hydrogen and it is still costly at around $6/kg today.

Earlier this month, the EU launched a strategy to promote green hydrogen as it tries to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
