北海净零排放过渡将耗资4300亿英镑

据能源之声网站9月16日报道 根据油气技术中心（OGTC）和咨询公司伍德麦肯兹的最新报告，将英国北海定位为净零未来的成本将超过4300亿英镑。

根据这项由运营商Chrysaor和苏格兰政府支持的研究，建立这样一个“一体化的净零能源系统”（将石油和天然气与其他可再生能源相结合）的回报是，到2050年英国将新增20万个就业岗位，经济增长2.5万亿英镑。

然而，认识到这一点意味着该行业和政府需要在未来几年集中投资，以缩小在一些关键技术上的差距。

这将需要在全球范围内投入4300亿英镑用于发展。

OGTC强调的一些领域包括平台电气化、甲烷泄漏检测和油气燃烧缓解，以及更大的叶片、更高的塔架和固定海上风能的自动检查。

同时还提到提高“蓝色氢”生产（从天然气）和降低“绿色氢”（通过可再生能源）的成本，提高碳捕获和储存（CCS）技术的经济性的措施，以及海上可再生能源（如浮式太阳能）的取电解决方案。

OGTC首席执行官科恩表示：“将北海重新想象成一个综合能源系统，对于英国和苏格兰实现净零排放目标至关重要。但我们现在需要投资，以缩小实现这一雄心所需的关键技术的差距。”

North Sea net zero transition will cost ￡430billion, says OGTC – Wood Mackenzie report

Positioning the UK North Sea for a net zero future will cost more than ￡430billion, according to a new report from the Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) and consultancy Wood Mackenzie.

The reward of creating such an “integrated net zero energy system” – a mix of oil and gas with other renewable sources – is the creation of 200,000 new UK jobs and ￡2.5trillion for the economy by 2050, according to the research, produced with support from operator Chrysaor and the Scottish Government.

However realising this means the industry and governments need to “focus investment at pace in the coming years” to close the gap on a number of key technologies.

This will require ￡430bn to be spent globally on development, of which around ￡270bn is expected to be spent in the UK.

Some of the areas highlighted by the OGTC are platform electrification, methane leak detection and flaring mitigation for oil and gas, as well as larger blades, taller towers and automated inspection for fixed offshore wind.

It also refers to improving ”blue hydrogen” production (from natural gas) and reducing cost of “green hydrogen” (via renewables), as well as measures to improve economics of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, and power off-take solutions for marine renewables like floating solar.

OGTC chief executive Colette Cohen said: “Reimagining the North Sea as an integrated energy system is essential for the UK and Scotland to achieve their net-zero ambitions. But we need to invest now to close the gap on the key technologies needed to make this ambition a reality.
