據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)6月18日消息稱(chēng)，英國(guó)石油公司表示，該公司已同意收購(gòu)澳大利亞一個(gè)可再生能源項(xiàng)目40.5%的股份，并成為該項(xiàng)目的運(yùn)營(yíng)商，該項(xiàng)目可能成為世界上最大的綠色氫生產(chǎn)商之一，但該公司沒(méi)有透露其支付的金額。

位于西澳大利亞內(nèi)陸的亞洲可再生能源中心(AREH)將開(kāi)發(fā)高達(dá)26吉瓦的風(fēng)能和太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電能力，可用于生產(chǎn)160萬(wàn)噸綠色氫，或每年生產(chǎn)900萬(wàn)噸氨水，氫氣經(jīng)超低溫處理后可以通過(guò)船只運(yùn)輸。

bp天然氣和低碳能源執(zhí)行副總裁 Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath 表示，該項(xiàng)目符合bp從化石燃料轉(zhuǎn)向清潔能源的推動(dòng)，并可能推進(jìn)其在全球氫市場(chǎng)中搶占10%份額的目標(biāo)。

Dotzenrath告訴路透社，bp預(yù)計(jì)到2050年，氫氣將占全球能源的10%—15%，并正在研究世界各地其他幾個(gè)大型氫氣和氨出口中心。

她說(shuō)，AREH“不會(huì)是最后一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，但對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)非常、非常重要的項(xiàng)目，我希望這是一個(gè)明確的信號(hào)，表明我們希望在這個(gè)市場(chǎng)站穩(wěn)腳跟”。

BP Buys 41% Stake in Australian Wind, Solar, Hydrogen Mega-Project

BP plc has agreed to buy a 40.5% stake and become operator of an Australian renewable energy project that could become one of the world's biggest producers of green hydrogen, the global oil major said, without disclosing how much it paid.

The Asian Renewable Energy Hub (AREH) in outback Western Australia would develop up to 26 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar power capacity which could be used to produce 1.6 million tonnes of green hydrogen — hydrogen produced from renewable energy — or 9 million tonnes a year of ammonia into which hydrogen is super chilled to allow its transport by ship.

The project fits with BP's push away from fossil fuels to clean energy and could advance its aim to grab a 10% share of the global hydrogen market, said Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath, BP's executive vice president of gas and low carbon energy.

BP expects hydrogen to account for 10% to 15% of global energy by 2050 and is looking into several other large-scale hydrogen and ammonia export hubs around the world, Dotzenrath told Reuters.

AREH "will not be the last one, but this is a very, very important project for us and I hope a clear signal that we want to establish ourselves in that market", she said.
