英力士与Engie签订比利时10年期可再生电力协议

据ICIS网站9月22日伦敦报道 欧洲化工巨头英力士周二表示，从2021年1月1日开始，英力士将为其比利时的一些工厂提供风力发电。

但没有透露财务细节。

据介绍，这项为期10年、84兆瓦的协议将使英力士生产的二氧化碳排放量减少115万吨。

这些电能将由法国能源巨头Engie位于北海的海上风电场发电，该风电场距离泽布吕赫海岸23公里。

英力士计划在比利时的各个生产基地使用这些电力。

在以后的阶段，其还将用于为英力士在安特卫普的项目一综合设施供电，该项目于2018年宣布，目前正在建设中。

该项目将包括一个乙烷裂解和丙烷脱氢（PDH）装置，用于生产乙烯和丙烯，预计资本支出为27亿欧元。

项目首席执行官John McNally表示：“我们的丙烷脱氢装置被设计成最大程度的电气化，这使得只使用绿色电力几乎可以消除间接排放。”

“未来几个月，我们将继续研究进一步扩大可再生能源利用的方案。”

INEOS signs 10-year renewable electricity deal with Engie for Belgium sites

INEOS will power some of its sites in Belgium with wind power-generated electricity supplied by Engie, starting 1 January 2021, the European chemicals major said on Tuesday.

Financial details were not disclosed.

The 10-year, 84 MW (megawatt) agreement will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced by INEOS by 1.15m tonnes, it said.

The electricity will be generated at France-headquartered energy major Engie’s offshore wind farm in the North Sea, 23 km from the coast of Zeebrugge.

INEOS plans to use the electricity at various production sites in Belgium.

At a later stage, it will also be used to power INEOS's Project ONE complex in Antwerp, which was announced in 2018 and is currently under construction.

This project will include an ethane cracker and a propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit to produce ethylene and propylene, with capital expenditure (capex) expected at €2.7bn.

“Our PDH unit has been designed with a maximum level of electrification, which makes it possible to virtually eliminate indirect emissions by using only green electricity,” said Project ONE’s CEO John McNally.

“In the coming months, we will continue to look at the options for further expanding the use of renewable energy."
