据管道新闻网4月12日消息称，德国公用事业公司Uniper和壳牌公司周二表示，两家公司将在英国的Uniper发电厂联合生产低碳氢，以促进燃料的使用并减少温室气体排放。
该项目位于英格兰东部 Uniper 的 Killingholme 发电站，将包括一个产能高达720兆瓦的蓝色氢气生产设施——足够每年为50多万户家庭供暖——使用带有碳捕获和存储(CCS)的天然气改造技术。
所谓的蓝色氢是通过将天然气转化为氢气并储存其生产过程中排放的二氧化碳来生产的。英国政府设定了一个目标，到2030年，通过CCS每年捕获1000万吨二氧化碳。
两家公司说，生产出来的氢可以用于汉伯地区的重工业、交通、供暖和电力脱碳。
捕获的二氧化碳每年可达160万吨，将通过拟议中的零碳汉伯陆上管道输送，该管道是东海岸集群的一部分，被选为两个CCS集群之一，以获得政府的初步支持。
壳牌和Uniper现在将进行工艺设计研究和现场开发活动，以期在2023年将该项目推向前端工程和设计。
政府和能源公司正在大力押注低碳氢在降低温室气体排放方面发挥主导作用，但成本仍然很高。

Shell, Uniper Partner on UK Low-Carbon Hydrogen Facility
German utility Uniper and Shell will team up to jointly produce low-carbon hydrogen at a Uniper power station in Britain in a bid to boost use of the fuel and cut greenhouse gas emissions, the companies said on Tuesday.
The project, located at Uniper's Killingholme power station in the East of England, will include a blue hydrogen production facility with a capacity of up to 720 megawatts — enough to heat more than half a million homes a year — using gas reformation technology with carbon capture and storage (CCS).
So-called blue hydrogen is produced by converting natural gas into hydrogen and storing the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from its production. The U.K. Government has set a target to capture 10 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2030 through CCS.
The hydrogen produced could be used to decarbonize heavy industry, transport, heating and power in the Humber region, the companies said.
The captured CO2 could amount to 1.6 million tonnes a year and would be fed through the proposed Zero Carbon Humber onshore pipeline, part of the East Coast Cluster, selected as one of two CCS clusters to receive initial government support.
Shell and Uniper will now work on process design studies and site development activity, with a view to taking the project to front end engineering and design by 2023, they said.
Governments and energy companies are placing large bets on low-carbon hydrogen playing a leading role in efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions, but costs are still high.
