據油價網12月5日消息稱，英國石油公司（bp）高管告訴路透社，該公司將低碳氫視為其主要增長領域之一，并押注于綠色氫，以推進能源轉型和能源密集型行業的脫碳。

bp新任美國氫業務主管Tomeka McLeod告訴路透，該公司目前正處于早期規劃階段，計劃在印第安納州懷廷煉油廠附近建立一個低碳氫樞紐。

“bp分析顯示，到2050年，氫在最終能源消耗中的份額約為8%。當我們把生產合成燃料和發電的其他氫需求包括在內時，氫的總需求幾乎翻了一番。”bp氫和CCUS高級副總裁Felipe Arbelaez說。

Arbelaez補充說：“從這一背景來看，這將與目前天然氣在全球能源結構中的份額大致相似。”

bp表示，氫是其五大能源轉型增長引擎之一。

bp計劃在美國開發更多的氫氣和CCS，并在英國開發一個主要樞紐，并研究毛里塔尼亞制氫的潛力。

在美國，bp和林德計劃推進一個大型CCS項目，該項目將在林德位于大休斯敦地區的現有生產設施中實現低碳制氫。該超級巨頭表示，該開發項目還將支持從其他工業設施捕獲的二氧化碳的儲存，為得克薩斯墨西哥灣沿岸工業走廊的大規模脫碳鋪平道路。

上個月，bp與毛里塔尼亞政府簽署了一份諒解備忘錄（MoU），根據該備忘錄，bp將開展一項計劃，探索該國大規模生產綠色氫的潛力。

今年6月，bp同意收購西澳大利亞州亞洲可再生能源中心（AREH）40.5%的股權，并成為該中心的運營商，該公司表示，AREH有潛力成為世界上最大的可再生能源和綠色氫中心之一。

BP Is Betting Big On Green Hydrogen

UK supermajor BP sees low-carbon hydrogen as one of its key growth areas and is betting on green hydrogen to advance the energy transition and the decarbonization of energy-intensive industries, company executives told Reuters.

BP is currently in the early planning stage to set up a low-carbon hydrogen hub close to the Whiting, Indiana, refinery, Tomeka McLeod, the supermajor’s new head of hydrogen in the United States, told Reuters.

“BP analysis shows that hydrogen could have around an 8% share in final energy consumption by 2050. When we include other hydrogen demand to produce synthetic fuels and generate power, total hydrogen demand nearly doubles,” Felipe Arbelaez, BP’s Senior Vice President of hydrogen and CCUS, says.

“To put that into context, this would be broadly similar to the share of the global energy mix that natural gas has today,” Arbelaez added.

BP says that hydrogen is one of its five energy transition growth engines.

BP has plans for more hydrogen and CCS in the United States and is also developing a major hub in the UK and studying the potential of hydrogen production in Mauritania. 

In the U.S., BP and Linde plan to advance a major CCS project that will enable low-carbon hydrogen production at Linde’s existing production facilities in the greater Houston area. The development will also support the storage of CO2 captured from other industrial facilities, paving the way for large-scale decarbonization of the Texas Gulf Coast industrial corridor, the supermajor says.

Last month, BP signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Mauritania under which it will deliver a program exploring the potential for large-scale production of green hydrogen in the country.

In June this year, BP agreed to acquire a 40.5% equity stake in and to become operator of the Asian Renewable Energy Hub (AREH) in Western Australia, which, the firm says, has the potential to be one of the largest renewables and green hydrogen hubs in the world.
