中国石化新闻网讯 据能源之声12月22日消息称,苏格兰政府发表了氢气政策声明,阐述了该国如何成为全球新兴市场的主要参与者。
该计划包括到2030年生产5吉瓦可再生能源和低碳氢能源的雄心,这足以满足180万户家庭的用电需求,到2045年将达到至少25吉瓦。
氢燃料的使用仍处于相对起步阶段,专家们强调,这是油气行业可以帮助经济脱碳的一个领域。
苏格兰政府希望两者在能源转型中扮演“越来越重要的角色”。
根据经济影响研究的数据,到2045年,该行业有可能为苏格兰经济创造高达每年250亿英镑的价值。
这份声明的发表意味着苏格兰将成为英国第一个制定该行业目标的国家,威斯敏斯特将于明年效仿。
苏格兰能源部长Paul Wheelhouse表示,苏格兰拥有促进低成本氢气生产的“所有必要原料”。
其中包括“世界上最大的海上工程专业人员聚集地之一”,可以利用可再生能源的潜力生产零排放的超级燃料。
Wheelhouse补充说:“氢作为经济脱碳的可持续解决方案,以及能源转型的关键元素,正在国际社会迅速兴起。
“苏格兰准备和其他欧洲国家一起充分发挥自己的作用——这就是为什么我们今天发布这份重要的政策声明,并投资1亿英镑的苏格兰政府资源来刺激该行业及其供应链?!?/span>
“事实上,苏格兰是世界上最适合开发价格具有竞争力的氢气以满足本国经济需求的国家之一,并产生过剩的供应,以出口到其他有新兴需求的欧洲国家,但目前供应无法满足国内自己的需求?!?/span>
今年早些时候,阿伯丁市议会批准一个新的阿伯丁氢气中心,这是一个区域合作项目,包括当地政府、苏格兰企业和Opportunity North East。
该项目将利用附近的海上风能资源,启动该地区氢产业的发展。

Scottish Government pledges £100m to hydrogen industry
The Scottish Government published its Hydrogen Policy Statement setting out how the country can become a major player in the global emerging market.
It includes an ambition to generate 5 gigawatts (GW) of renewable and low carbon hydrogen by 2030 – enough to power the equivalent of 1.8 million homes – increasing to at least 25GW by 2045.
The use of hydrogen as a fuel source is still in its relative infancy, with experts highlighting it as an area in which the oil and gas industry can help to decarbonise the economy.
The Scottish Government expects both to play an “increasingly important role” in the energy transition.
According to economic impact research, the industry has the potential to be worth up to £25 billion a year to the Scottish economy by 2045.
The publication of the statement means Scotland is the first country in the UK to set out its aims for the sector, with Westminster due to follow suit next year.
Scottish Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse said Scotland had “all the raw ingredients necessary” to facilitate the production of low-cost hydrogen.
That includes “one of the largest concentrations of offshore engineering expertise in the world” that can harness renewable energy potential to produce the superfuel with no emissions.
Mr Wheelhouse added: “Hydrogen is rapidly emerging across the international community as a sustainable solution for the decarbonisation of the economy and a key element of the energy transition picture.
“Scotland is prepared to play its full part together with other European nations – that’s why we’re publishing this key policy statement today and investing £100 million of Scottish Government resources to stimulate the sector and its supply chain.
“Indeed, Scotland is one of the best placed nations anywhere in the world to develop competitively priced hydrogen for our own economy’s needs and to generate a surplus in supply to export to other European nations with emerging demand, but insufficient supply to meet their own needs.”
Earlier this year, Aberdeen City Council gave then green light for a new Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub, a regional collaboration project involving the local authority, Scottish Enterprise and Opportunity North East.
The project will utilise nearby offshore wind resources to kick start the growth of the hydrogen industry in the region.
