???? 據路透社4月8日奧斯陸報道，挪威國家石油公司(Equinor)和英國公用事業公司SSE周四表示，兩家公司已同意在英國聯合開發世界上第一座100%氫燃料發電廠。

????氫被視為天然氣發電和供熱的潛在替代品，有助于實現全球氣候目標。

????兩家公司表示，Keadby氫電廠的氫能峰值需求為1800兆瓦，發電量約900兆瓦，并減少英格蘭東北部亨伯這個英國碳密集型產業集群的排放。

????兩家公司還補充道：“有了適當的政策機制，Keadby 氫電廠可以在十年內的末尾前上線。”

????此外，Equinor和SSE還計劃在Keadby建造一座900兆瓦的天然氣發電廠，配備碳捕集技術以減少排放。

????天然氣燃燒時釋放的二氧化碳將被捕集并永久封存在北海南部的海床下。

????兩家公司表示，Keadby 3工廠可能會在2027年投產，Equinor和SSE計劃在今年春天提交開發許可申請。

????Equinor還參與了一個項目，在赫爾附近的Saltend化學園區用天然氣生產氫氣，同時捕集并永久封存產生的二氧化碳。

????Equinor表示，這個名為H2H Saltend的項目可以為Keadby氫電廠提供低碳氫。

????目前，世界上大部分的氫都是通過天然氣重整生產的，但這個過程也會排放二氧化碳，而且是不可持續的。碳捕集可以減少約90%的相關排放。

????英國的目標是到2050年達到凈零碳排放，為一些脫碳項目提供資金支持。

????Equinor, SSE aim to build the world's first hydrogen power plant

????Norwegian energy firm Equinor and British utility SSE have agreed to jointly develop the world’s first 100% hydrogen-fuelled power plant in Britain, the companies said on Thursday.

????Hydrogen is seen as a potential replacement for natural gas in power and heat generation, helping to achieve global climate goals.

????Keadby Hydrogen plant would have a peak demand of 1,800 megawatt (MW) of hydrogen, generating around 900 MW of electricity and reduce emissions from Britain’s most carbon-intensive industrial cluster in Humber, north-east England, the companies said.

????“With appropriate policy mechanisms in place, Keadby Hydrogen could come online before the end of the decade,” they added.

????In addition, Equinor and SSE plan to build a 900 MW natural gas-fired power plant at Keadby, fitted with carbon capture technology to reduce emissions.

????The carbon dioxide (CO2) released when natural gas is burned will be captured and permanently stored under the seabed in the Southern North Sea.

????The Keadby 3 plant could potentially start by 2027, with Equinor and SSE planning to submit a development consent application this spring, the companies said.

????Equinor is also involved in a project to produce hydrogen from natural gas at Saltend Chemicals Park near Hull, while also capturing and permanently storing associated CO2.

????The project, called H2H Saltend, could supply low-carbon hydrogen to the Keadby Hydrogen power plant, Equinor said.

????Most of the hydrogen in the world is produced by reforming natural gas today, but the process also emits CO2 and is not sustainable. Carbon capture could reduce the associated emissions by around 90%.

????Britain has a target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, providing financial support to a number of decarbonisation projects.
