未来30年英国绿色氢项目价值可能达3200亿英镑

据能源之声网站9月8日报道 一项新的研究显示，绿色氢能项目，包括在英国东北部的一些项目，可以为英国经济带来3200亿英镑的收入，到2050年可以维持多达12万个就业岗位。

海上风能产业委员会（OWIC）与英国国家海上可再生能源推进中心（ORE Catapult）合作，今天发布了一份新报告，概述了“超级燃料”在降低碳排放方面的作用。

报告声称氢有潜力提供灵活性和安全性，以将高比例的海上风电纳入英国能源系统。

报告提出了建立一个国家氢能网络，并指出了一些可能对其发展至关重要的地区，其中提到的阿伯丁是由于其现有的发展和港口基础设施。

题为《海上风能和氢气：解决一体化挑战》的报告声称，英国拥有合适水平的海上风力发电能力，以及强大的工业基础和世界领先的学术研究，以发展可持续、低成本的绿色氢产业。

同时还概述了开发氢应用的重大正在进行的举措，包括彼得黑德附近圣弗格斯码头的Acorn项目和阿伯丁附近计划的Dolphyn海上风电项目。

为了利用这一机会，OWIC和ORE Catapult呼吁各国政府制定新的“国家战略”，以创造新行业的供需。

Green hydrogen projects could be worth ￡320bn and support thousands of jobs by 2050

Green hydrogen projects, including a number in the north-east, could generate ￡320 billion for the UK economy and sustain up to 120,000 jobs by 2050, according to a new study.

The Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC), in partnership with the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, has released a new report today outlining the role the superfuel can play in driving down carbon emissions.

It claims that hydrogen has the potential to provide the flexibility and security needed to integrate high percentages of offshore wind into the UK energy system.

The report makes the case for creating a national hydrogen network and pinpoints a number of regions that could be crucial in its development, with Aberdeen among those mentioned due to its existing developments and port infrastructure.

Entitled Offshore Wind and Hydrogen: Solving the Integration Challenge, is claims the UK has the right level of offshore wind capacity, as well a strong industrial base and world-leading academic research, to develop a sustainable, low-cost green hydrogen industry.

It also gives an overview of significant ongoing initiatives to develop applications of hydrogen, including the Acorn project at the St Fergus Terminal near Peterhead and the planned Dolphyn offshore wind project near Aberdeen.

In order to capitalise on this opportunity, OWIC and ORE Catapult are calling on governments to draw up a new “national strategy” to generate supply and demand in the new industry.
