SSE和Equinor計劃在英國儲氣站儲存氫氣

據能源經濟7月16日消息稱，SSE的子公司英國SSE Thermal和挪威石油和天然氣公司 Equinor 表示，他們正在制定計劃，在東約克郡海岸的現有儲氣站儲存氫氣。

　　這個被稱為阿爾德伯勒(Aldbrough)的地方，由9個地下鹽穴組成，這些鹽穴將被轉換成儲存氫。

　　兩家公司表示，該項目將于 2028 年完成，預計容量至少為 320 吉瓦時，可能需要建造更多的洞穴。

　　從化石燃料中產生的氣態氫已在地下洞穴中儲存多年。

　　該基地將用于儲存來自漢伯地區的氫，漢伯地區正在開發一個低碳氫中心。從21世紀20年代后期開始，氫氣將用于供熱、工業和運輸市場。

　　氫，如果使用可再生能源生產，是一種低碳燃料，被幾個國家吹捧為一種大幅減少溫室氣體排放的方法。

　　但成本仍然很高，基礎設施匱乏，而且由于氫氣的密度低于天然氣，必須在工業場所或汽車燃料補給站安全壓縮、儲存和分配。

　　兩家公司表示，雖然阿爾德伯勒工廠最初將儲存為Keadby氫電站提供燃料而生產的氫，但它將使越來越大的氫野心成為可能，包括從本世紀20年代末開始，供應包括供熱、工業和運輸在內的不斷擴大的承購市場。

　　使用可再生能源生產的氫氣是通過電解完成的，它將水分解成氫氣和氧氣。

　　SSE, Equinor plan to store hydrogen at UK gas storage site

　　Britain's SSE Thermal, part of SSE and Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor said they are developing plans to store hydrogen at their existing gas storage site on the East Yorkshire coast.

　　The site, called Aldbrough, consists of nine underground salt caverns which would be converted to store hydrogen.

　　The project, due to be completed by 2028 with an expected capacity of at least 320 gigawatt hours, might require additional caverns to be built, the firms said.

　　Gaseous hydrogen produced from fossil fuels has been stored underground in caverns for many years.

　　The site would be used to store hydrogen from the Humber region, where a low-carbon, hydrogen hub is being developed. The hydrogen would be used for the heat, industry and transport markets from the late 2020s onwards.

　　Hydrogen, if produced using renewable energy, is a low-carbon fuel and is being touted by several countries as a way to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions.

　　But costs are still high, infrastructure is lacking and as hydrogen is less dense than natural gas and must be safely compressed, stored and dispensed at industrial sites or refuelling stations for vehicles.

　　The companies said that while the Aldbrough facility would initially store hydrogen produced to fuel the Keadby Hydrogen Power Station, it would enable growing hydrogen ambitions, including supplying an expanding offtaker market including heat, industry and transport from the late 2020s.

　　Hydrogen produced using renewable power is done by electrolysis, which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.
