據管道新聞網2月22日消息稱，GlobalData宣布，大量的氫管道項目處于可行性階段，使全球低碳氫項目的產能達到4200萬噸/年。

GlobalData 報告指出，這使全球氫能轉型市場有望成為全球主要能源來源，并將2022年定位為推進最終投資和建設決策的關鍵時刻。

GlobalData 能源轉型分析師 Barbara Monterrubio 說““氫作為低碳或零碳能源，在儲能、建筑和交通等需求領域越來越受歡迎。許多國家已經開始考慮以氫為基礎的經濟來支持脫碳。目前，綠色氫氣在氫氣生產組合中所占的份額很小，但考慮到各國和企業宣布的雄心勃勃的目標，綠色氫氣有望增加。”

綠色氫是用可再生能源生產的，使其成為氣候中和的。GlobalData 顯示，大多數活性氫產能由使用天然氣生產的藍氫組成，但大多數可行性后和可行性階段的項目都是綠色氫。

根據GlobalData的數據，4200萬噸/年的新產能中，超過三分之二將來自前蘇聯、歐洲和大洋洲，其中87%和12%分別來自綠色和藍色項目，不到0.5%來自紫色和藍綠色項目。紫色氫是核能產生的氫。

2021年第四季度，33個國家宣布了新的低碳氫工廠，其中澳大利亞、智利和美國的項目為全球氫管道增加了300萬噸/年的產能。

Monterrubio說:“這些地區的國家正在推動氫的使用，在氫政策方面處于全球領先地位。它們在發展氫經濟方面也處于有利地位，但可能需要進口才能實現低碳目標。”

報告稱，澳大利亞在90個綠色氫樞紐和項目中以800萬噸/年的產能領先，而北美和中東在藍色氫產能方面領先。

Low-Carbon Hydrogen Pipeline Projects Could Reach 42 Million Tons Annual Capacity

A large proportion of hydrogen pipeline projects in the feasibility phase brings the global low-carbon hydrogen project capacity to 42 million tons per annum (MMtpa), GlobalData announced.

This puts the global hydrogen energy transition market on track to becoming a major global energy source, the GlobalData report states, and positions 2022 as a crucial time for progressing final investment and construction decisions.

“Hydrogen is becoming popular as a low or zero-carbon energy source in demand segments such as energy storage, buildings, and transportation. Many countries have begun to consider a hydrogen-based economy to support decarbonization,” said Barbara Monterrubio, an energy transition analyst at GlobalData. “Green hydrogen presently has a small share in the hydrogen production mix but is poised to increase, given the ambitious targets announced by countries and companies.”

Green hydrogen is produced with renewable energy, making it climate neutral. Most active hydrogen capacity is made up of blue hydrogen, which is produced using natural gas, but most of the post-feasibility and feasibility phase projects are green hydrogen, GlobalData shows.

More than two thirds of the 42 MMtpa of upcoming capacity will come from the Former Soviet Union, Europe and Oceania, of which 87% and 12% comes from green and blue respectively, and less than 0.5% coming from purple and turquoise projects, according to GlobalData. Purple hydrogen is hydrogen produced with nuclear energy.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, 33 countries announced new low carbon hydrogen plants, with projects in Australia, Chile, and the US adding 3 MMtpa capacity to the global hydrogen pipeline.

“Countries in these regions are driving the use of hydrogen and are global leaders in hydrogen policy,” Monterrubio said. “They are also well-positioned to grow a hydrogen economy but will likely require imports to achieve their low carbon aims.”

Australia leads the upcoming capacity with more than 8 MMtpa across 90 green hydrogen hubs and projects, while North America and the Middle East lead in blue hydrogen capacity, the report states.
