西门子将在德国南部建造大型制氢工厂

据烃加工新闻10月9日消息称，西门子智能基础设施公司和WUN H2 GmbH签署了一份合同，将在德国建造一座大型制氢工厂。它将建在巴伐利亚北部的文西德尔。在初始开发阶段，该工厂将仅使用可再生能源生产6兆瓦电力，并且不会产生二氧化碳。在第一阶段，西门子能源公司的电解厂将有能力每年生产超过900吨的氢气。当完全扩大后，它将能够供应多达2000吨。破土动工定于今年年底，2021年底投入使用。

德国已承诺到2050年实现温室气体中和。为此，所有能源消耗部门，例如运输和工业部门，都必须推进脱碳。这家位于文西德尔的工厂将成为全德国的典范。它将把该地区现有的可再生能源，例如光电和风能，转化为可储存的氢(H2)，使其可用于交通运输和工业。在阳光明媚、多风的日子里，这一点尤其有用，因为可再生能源产生的能源超过了所需。

该电解工厂将建在文西德尔能源园区内，毗邻西门子已投产的电池存储设施，这将补充前瞻性能源概念。“该项目是西门子与SWW Wunsiedel GmbH之间实践中成功的技术合作伙伴关系的另一个要素。

德国西门子公司首席执行官、德国智能基础设施区域解决方案和服务首席执行官Uwe Bartmann表示:“我们今天就想在当地实现德国2050年的目标，即在所有领域实现能源完全转型。该项目将使巴伐利亚北部地区拥有自己的氢资源。到目前为止，终端客户使用的天然气需要走相当长的路。氢气将被装进气瓶供当地分配，然后用卡车运往当地和地区的终端客户，主要是上弗兰科尼亚、上普法尔茨、南图林根和萨克森。该工厂还将有助于缓解电网瓶颈，并为电网提供灵活性

Siemens to build large CO2-free hydrogen production plant in southern Germany

Siemens Smart Infrastructure and WUN H2 GmbH signed a contract to build one of the largest hydrogen production plants in Germany. It will be built in Wunsiedel in the north of Bavaria. With a power intake of six megawatts in the initial development phase, the plant will run solely on renewable energy and will be CO2-free. The electrolysis plant from Siemens Energy will have the capacity to produce over 900 tons of hydrogen per year in this first phase. When fully expanded, it will be able to supply up to 2,000 tons. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the end of this year and commissioning at the end of 2021.

Germany has pledged to be greenhouse gas-neutral by 2050. To this end, all sectors that use energy, such as transportation and industry, must press ahead with decarbonization. The plant in Wunsiedel will serve as a model for all of Germany. It will convert the renewable energy available in this region, e.g., from photovoltaics and wind power, into storable hydrogen (H2), making it available for applications in mobility and industry. This is especially useful when, on sunny and windy days, more energy from renewable sources is produced than needed.

The electrolysis plant will be built in the Wunsiedel Energy Park next to the Siemens manufactured battery storage facility already in operation, complementing the forward-looking energy concept. “This project is another element of a practiced, successful technology partnership between Siemens and SWW Wunsiedel GmbH.

We want to achieve locally already today what Germany is targeting for 2050, namely a complete energy transition across all sectors,” stated Uwe Bartmann, CEO of Siemens Germany and CEO of Smart Infrastructure Regional Solutions & Services Germany. The project will give the northern Bavaria region its very own hydrogen source. Until now, gas for end customers had to travel a relatively long way. The hydrogen will be filled into gas cylinders for local distribution and shipped by truck to local and regional end customers, mostly in Upper Franconia, the Upper Palatinate, southern Thuringia and Saxony. The plant will also help ease grid bottlenecks and provide flexibility for the grid.
