據(jù)管道&天然氣雜志網(wǎng)7月30日路透社報道，隨著越來越多的消費者尋求從污染嚴重的化石燃料轉(zhuǎn)向無碳能源過渡，美國電力公司Entergy Corp希望在德克薩斯州建造一座能同時燃燒天然氣和氫氣的發(fā)電廠。

　　這只是美國公用事業(yè)正在開發(fā)的幾個氫氣項目之一。但分析人士表示，在氫取代化石燃料之前，政府需要立法和監(jiān)管，推動能源公司花費所需的數(shù)十億美元，以降低生產(chǎn)清潔或綠色氫的成本。

　　Entergy 周四在一份新聞稿中表示，其擬議的1215兆瓦Orange County 工廠將位于 Bridge City附近，其靠近德克薩斯州-路易斯安那州邊界附近的墨西哥灣海岸。

　　不產(chǎn)生二氧化碳排放的氫，已經(jīng)被Entergy的幾家大型工業(yè)客戶使用，可以儲存在附近的設施中，比如Entergy Texas的spinletop存儲設施。

　　大多數(shù)這樣的氫，就像世界上生產(chǎn)的大多數(shù)氫一樣，來自化石燃料，所以不被認為是綠色氫，因為綠色氫來自非碳排放源。

　　德克薩斯州Entergy公司的總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官薩利·雷納(Sallie Rainer)在新聞稿中表示，我們的地區(qū)是氫氣生產(chǎn)商、管道、儲存和工業(yè)用戶的家園。

　　該工廠的建設將直接提供7000多個就業(yè)崗位，并為當?shù)亟?jīng)濟帶來近18億美元的經(jīng)濟活動。一旦投入運營，其將提供約27個直接就業(yè)機會，并能夠為超過23萬個家庭提供足夠的電力。

　　Entergy 表示，在未來幾個月內(nèi)，該公司打算尋求德克薩斯州公用事業(yè)委員會( Public Utility Commission 即PUC)的批準。如果 PUC批準該申請，其將于2023年第二季度開工建設，預計將于2026年夏季投入使用。

　　Entergy Seeks to Build NatGas/Hydrogen Power Plant in Texas

　　U.S. electric company Entergy Corp wants to build a power plant in Texas capable of burning a combination of natural gas and hydrogen as more consumers seek to transition from dirty fossil fuels to carbon-free sources of energy.

　　This is just one of several hydrogen projects that U.S. utilities are developing. But before hydrogen can displace fossil fuels, analysts say governments need legislation and regulation to push energy firms to spend the billions needed to reduce the cost of producing clean or green hydrogen.

　　Entergy said in a release on Thursday that its proposed 1,215-megawatt (MW) Orange County plant will be located near Bridge City, which is close to the Gulf Coast near the Texas-Louisiana border.

　　Hydrogen, which produces no carbon dioxide emissions, is already used by several of Entergy's large industrial customers and can be stored nearby in facilities like Entergy Texas's Spindletop storage facility.

　　Most of that hydrogen, like most produced around the world, comes from fossil fuels so is not considered green hydrogen, which comes from non-carbon-emitting sources.

　　"Our region is home to hydrogen producers, pipelines, storage and industrial users," Sallie Rainer, president and chief executive of Entergy Texas, said in the release.

　　Construction of the plant will provide more than 7,000 direct jobs and nearly $1.8 billion in economic activity to the regional economy. once operating, it will provide about 27 direct jobs and be capable of producing enough power for more than 230,000 homes.

　　Entergy said in coming months it intends to seek approval to build the plant from the Public Utility Commission of Texas. If the PUC approves the application, Entergy said it will start construction in the second quarter of 2023 with the plant expected to enter service by the summer of 2026.
