        德国能源企业Uniper和壳牌公司已签署了拟议的Humber H2ub项目合同，该项目主要设计研究氢气生产和碳捕获工厂。

 

        该项目旨在利用气体重整与碳捕集技术在Uniper公司位于英国南亨伯（South Humber ）河岸的Killingholme发电站生产低碳氢气。

 

        目前已与液化空气工程制造公司（Air Liquide Engineering & Construction）、壳牌催化剂与技术公司（Shell Catalysts & Technologies）和德希尼布能源公司（Technip Energies）签署合同，以提供工艺设计研究。

 

        这三家公司将参与竞争，为该项目进入前端工程设计（front-end engineering and design, FEED）阶段所需的技术和工厂设计进行工程设计，预计将在2020年代中期做出最终投资决定。

 

        在设计竞赛结束时被选中的公司将成为Humber H2ub项目在前端工程设计、工程、采购和施工以及工厂运营期间的首选低碳氢气生产技术供应商。

 

        Humber H2ub项目包括计划建立一个低碳氢气生产设施，使用带有碳捕获和储存（carbon capture and storage, CCS）的气体重整技术，容量高达720兆瓦。所生产的氢气可用于整个亨伯地区的工业、交通和电力的去碳化。

 

        据Uniper公司称，在Killingholme进行的CCS+制氢产业，每年可从生产过程中捕获约160万公吨（Mt）碳。英国政府已经设定了一个目标，即到2030年每年捕获和储存两三百万吨的碳。

 

        Humber H2ub项目是Uniper能源企业转型中心Killingholme的一部分。

 

        Uniper公司氢能部高级业务发展经理Guy Phillips说："授予PDP合同意味着我们在Killingholme的低碳氢气生产计划迈出了重要一步。这将有助于英国最大的二氧化碳排放工业地区的去碳化。氢气将是实现英国到2050年实现碳中和目标的解决方案之一，亨伯地区和这个项目，将为实现这一目标作出贡献。"

 

        壳牌公司传统上游、综合天然气和新能源业务发展经理Paul Black补充说："探索利用英国天然气和碳捕获技术的新方法从未像现在这样重要。而我们正在与Uniper公司合作，在这方面取得强有力的进展。

 

        "我们的目标是建立氢气生产，以促进国家的长期能源安全，并使亨伯地区的重工业、交通和电力去碳化。这构成了壳牌建立全球领先的氢气业务的更广泛意图的一部分，其中包括2022年开始在荷兰建立欧洲最大的可再生氢气工厂的工作。"

Shell and Uniper hand out Humber hydrogen deals

 

Energy players Uniper and Shell have awarded contracts for the design studies of the main hydrogen production and carbon capture plant for the proposed Humber H2ub project.

 

The project aims to produce low-carbon hydrogen using gas reformation with carbon capture technology at Uniper’s Killingholme power station site on the South Humber bank in the UK.

 

Air Liquide Engineering & Construction, Shell Catalysts & Technologies and Technip Energies have now been awarded contracts to deliver the process design studies.

 

The three companies will participate in a competition to engineer the technology and plant design needed for the project to move to the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase, ahead of a final investment decision expected to be taken in the mid-2020s.

 

The selected company at the end of the design competition will become the Humber H2ub project’s preferred low-carbon hydrogen production technology provider during FEED, engineering, procurement and construction and into the operation of the plant.

 

The Humber H2ub project includes plans for a low-carbon hydrogen production facility using gas reformation technology with carbon capture and storage (CCS), with a capacity of up to 720 megawatts. The hydrogen produced could be used to decarbonise industry, transport and power throughout the Humber region.

 

According to Uniper, CCS-enabled hydrogen production at Killingholme could see the capture of around 1.6 million metric tonnes (Mt) of carbon a year from the production process. The UK government has set a target to capture and store 20-30 Mt of carbon a year by 2030.

 

The Humber H2ub project forms part of Uniper’s Energy Transformation Hub Killingholme.

 

Guy Phillips, Uniper Senior Business Development Manager, Hydrogen, said: “The award of PDP contracts represents a significant step towards our plans for low-carbon hydrogen production at Killingholme. This will help to decarbonise the UK’s largest CO2-emitting industrial region. Hydrogen will be one of the solutions to achieve the UK’s target of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, and the Humber region and this project, will contribute to achieving it.”

 

Paul Black, Business Development Manager for Upstream, Integrated Gas and New Energies at Shell, added: “It’s never been more important to explore new ways to use the UK’s natural gas together with carbon capture technology. And we are making strong progress with Uniper to do this.

 

“We aim to build hydrogen production to boost the country’s long-term energy security and decarbonise heavy industry, transport and power in the Humber region. This forms part of Shell’s broader intent to build a global leading hydrogen business, which has included work starting in 2022 to build Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen plant in the Netherlands.”
