據(jù)世界石油3月31日消息稱，西門子能源將把電解模塊的工業(yè)生產(chǎn)基地設(shè)在柏林，從而將其氫技術(shù)的核心帶到首都。計劃于2023年在柏林摩比特地區(qū)的Huttenstrasse開始生產(chǎn)。

在該基地，可以使用現(xiàn)有生產(chǎn)車間的完整基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。新的電解槽生產(chǎn)線占地 2000 平方米，耗資約 3000 萬歐元。如今，該工廠主要生產(chǎn)燃?xì)廨啓C，這是世界上功率最大、效率最高的渦輪機之一。這些已經(jīng)可以使用高達(dá) 50% 的氫氣運行，到2030年完全使用氫氣應(yīng)該是可能的。

西門子能源目前正在柏林集中其在這兩個領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)知識，以確保可靠和成功的能源過渡到新的能源組合。這包括能源傳輸業(yè)務(wù)領(lǐng)域:在西門子能源開關(guān)廠柏林生產(chǎn)創(chuàng)新的高壓產(chǎn)品，確保電力可靠地到達(dá)消費者。

西門子能源總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官Christian Bruch表示:“通過氫電解槽的新生產(chǎn)設(shè)施，我們加強了在塑造能源轉(zhuǎn)型中發(fā)揮積極作用的主張。為此，我們正在柏林匯集各種能源技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的知識。對我們來說，氫是未來能源世界的重要組成部分。為了在經(jīng)濟(jì)上可行，電解槽的制造成本必須顯著降低。通過我們的新生產(chǎn)設(shè)施，我們將幫助氫氣更快地具有競爭力。”

在柏林工廠，將制造單個電解槽并將其組合成功能模塊或“堆棧”。然后根據(jù)所需的容量，將它們組裝成更大的基于過程的單元。

在德國，這最后一個階段將在Mülheim進(jìn)行，它與柏林的新工廠密切相關(guān)，是對它的完美補充。關(guān)鍵的因素是，生產(chǎn)正在轉(zhuǎn)向大規(guī)模生產(chǎn):價格合理、價格合理的電解槽是能夠滿足不斷增長的需求和未來的氫成本的先決條件。

為此，西門子能源公司正在采用質(zhì)子交換膜電解技術(shù)，利用質(zhì)子滲透膜和可再生能源的電能將水分離成氫和氧。該工藝的關(guān)鍵方面是其高水平的效率，高產(chǎn)品氣體質(zhì)量，可靠的操作，無化學(xué)品或雜質(zhì)。

西門子能源最新和最強大的PEM電解槽生產(chǎn)線，為高達(dá)數(shù)百兆瓦的應(yīng)用進(jìn)行了優(yōu)化，使這種規(guī)模的系統(tǒng)每小時可以產(chǎn)生數(shù)噸的綠色氫。電解槽制造中使用的電力將完全來自可再生能源。

Siemens Energy to start production of hydrogen electrolyzers

Siemens Energy will locate the industrial production of electrolysis modules in Berlin, and is thus taking the centerpiece of its hydrogen technology to the capital. Start of production at Huttenstrasse in Berlin’s Moabit locality is scheduled for 2023.

At this site, the complete infrastructure of an existing production hall can be used. New production lines for the electrolyzers are being set up on 2,000 square meters at a cost of around 30 million euros. Today, the site mainly manufactures gas turbines, which are among the most powerful and efficient in the world. These can already be operated with up to 50% hydrogen, and by 2030 complete hydrogen operation should be possible.

Siemens Energy is now pooling its expertise in both these areas in Berlin to ensure a reliable and successful energy transition to a new energy mix. This includes the business field of energy transmission: At the Siemens Energy Switchgear Plant Berlin innovative high voltage products are manufactured, ensuring that electricity reaches consumers reliably.

“With the new production facility for hydrogen electrolyzers, we are reinforcing our claim to play an active role in shaping the energy transition,” said Christian Bruch, president and CEO of Siemens Energy. “To this end, we are pooling our knowledge in the field of various energy technologies in Berlin. For us, hydrogen is an important component of the future energy world. For this to be economically viable, the manufacturing costs for electrolyzers must be significantly reduced. With our new production facility, we are helping to make hydrogen competitive sooner.”

At the Berlin location, the individual electrolyzer cells will be manufactured and combined to form functional modules, or “stacks.” Depending on the required capacity, these will then be assembled into larger process-based units.

In Germany, this last stage will take place at Mülheim, which is closely associated with the new Berlin plant and complements it perfectly. The critical element is that production is being switched over to mass production: Reasonably priced and affordable electrolyzers are the prerequisite for being able to cover growing demand and the future costs of hydrogen.

For this purpose, Siemens Energy is relying on PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolysis, in which water is separated into hydrogen and oxygen using a proton-permeable membrane and electricity from renewable sources. The key aspects of this process are its high level of efficiency, high product gas quality, and reliable operation with no chemicals or impurities.

The latest and most powerful PEM electrolyzer product line from Siemens Energy is optimized for applications up to the high hundreds of megawatts, enabling systems of this size to generate several metric tons of green hydrogen every hour. The electricity used in electrolyzer manufacture will be sourced entirely from renewables.?
