據烴加工網3月23日報道,法國液化空氣集團宣布在比利時安特衛普港建設一個工業規模的氨裂解試驗工廠。氫轉化為氨后,可以很容易地長距離運輸。利用創新技術,該工廠將能夠以優化的碳足跡將氨轉化為氫。有了這項裂解技術,液化空氣集團將進一步為氫的開發作出貢獻,氫氣是能源轉型的關鍵推動者。
氨是一種由氫和氮組成的分子,可以用作能量載體。在擁有豐富可再生能源(如太陽能、水和風能)或其他低碳能源的地區,其可以用來自氫的低碳足跡生產。全球供應鏈基礎設施已經到位,可以大規模生產、運輸和利用,為各個行業服務。這使得可再生能源豐富的地區能夠向全球的最終用戶出口氨,在那里氨可以轉化回氫氣,為工業和交通的脫碳作出貢獻。
將一種新型高效工藝與液化空氣集團的專有技術相結合的該創新試驗工廠計劃于2024年投入運營。
60多年來,液化空氣集團掌握了氫氣從生產、運輸、儲存、分銷到最終用途的全過程。在ADVANCE戰略計劃的背景下,集團承諾到2035年在全球低碳氫價值鏈上投資約80億歐元。
液化空氣集團執行副總裁Michael J. Graff表示,氨裂解技術補充了液化空氣集團已經完善的氫技術組合,并為發展全球氫市場提供了另一種技術解決方案。該集團比以往任何時候都更致力于使氫成為應對氣候變化的關鍵因素,特別是在重工業和交通的脫碳方面。

Air Liquide paves the way for ammonia conversion into hydrogen with new cracking technology
Hydrocarbon Processing
23 Mar.2023
Air Liquide announces the construction of an industrial scale ammonia (NH3) cracking pilot plant in the port of Antwerp, Belgium. When transformed into ammonia, hydrogen can be easily transported over long distances. Using innovative technology, this plant will make it possible to convert, with an optimized carbon footprint, ammonia into hydrogen (H2). With this cracking technology, Air Liquide will further contribute to the development of hydrogen as a key enabler of the energy transition.
Ammonia - a molecule made of hydrogen and nitrogen - can be used as an energy carrier. It can be produced with a low-carbon footprint from hydrogen in geographies with abundant renewable energy sources such as sun, water and wind, or other low-carbon power. A global supply chain infrastructure is already in place for its production, transportation and utilization at large scale to serve various industries. This allows regions with abundant renewable energy to export ammonia to end users across the globe, where it can be converted back to hydrogen to contribute to the decarbonization of industry and mobility.
The innovative pilot plant, which combines a novel efficient process with Air Liquide’s proprietary technologies, is planned to be operational in 2024.
For over 60 years, Air Liquide has mastered hydrogen from production, transport, storage and distribution to its final usages. Within the context of its ADVANCE strategic plan, the Group is committed to investing globally approximately 8 billion euros in the low-carbon hydrogen value chain by 2035.
Michael J. Graff, Executive Vice President, Air Liquide Group, said “Ammonia cracking complements Air Liquide’s already thorough portfolio of hydrogen technologies and adds yet another technological solution to enable the development of a hydrogen global market. More than ever, the Group is committed to making hydrogen a key element of the fight against climate change, in particular for the decarbonization of heavy industry and mobility.”
