中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月22日墨尔本报道,澳大利亚Fortescue集团将与澳大利亚国家科学机构合作,支持发展氢产业,氢是一种燃料,正被誉为下一个低排放能源的主要来源。 Fortescue和澳大利亚联邦科学和工业研究组织(CSIRO)在周四分别发表的声明中表示,作为五年协议的一部分,Fortescue将为CSIRO提供2000万澳元的资金。 氢的能源潜力尚未开发且其没有天然气和煤炭排放碳的不利影响,但是预计在21世纪30年代之前,氢不会被商业化。 Fortescue主席Andrew Forrest称:“我们认为氢能成为重要的出口能源,并期待着与第三方合作,以确保澳大利亚在新能源经济中的领导地位。” 首先要支持的技术将集中在使用氨的金属膜上,这种膜能够以低廉的成本储存和运输这种出了名的昂贵和难以移动的气体。这可能为其作为低排放燃料的使用铺平道路。 澳大利亚,作为世界上最大的煤炭出口国和第二大液化天然气出口国,它希望能建立一个出口氢工业。 根据咨询公司ACIL Allen为澳大利亚可再生能源机构所做的一份报告,澳大利亚正寻求到2030年向中国、日本、韩国和新加坡供应70亿美元的氢市场。 上个月,西澳大利亚启动了一个可再生氢委员会,包括伍德赛德,法国电力生产商恩吉萨,挪威亚拉国际,形成了一个利用土地,风能和太阳能资源生产氢的计划。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下: Fortescue to help fund development of Australian hydrogen industry Fortescue Metals Group will partner with Australia’s national science body to support the development of an industry for hydrogen, a fuel which is being touted as the next big source of low-emissions energy. Fortescue will fund Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) with A$20 million as part of a five-year agreement, Fortescue and CSIRO said in separate statements on Thursday. Hydrogen has untapped energy potential without the downside of the carbon emissions from natural gas and coal, although it is not expected to be commercialised until the 2030s. “We see potential for a significant export market in hydrogen and look forward to collaborating with third parties to ensure Australia’s leadership in the new energy economy,” said Fortescue Chairman Andrew Forrest. The first technology to be supported will focus on a metal membrane using ammonia that could allow for cheap storage and transport of the notoriously expensive and hard-to-move gas. That could pave the way for its use as a low emissions fuel. Australia, the world’s biggest coal exporter and second-biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter, wants to build a hydrogen industry for export. It is looking to supply what could be a $7 billion market for hydrogen to China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore by 2030, according to a report done for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency by consultants ACIL Allen. The state of Western Australia last month launched a Renewable Hydrogen Council, including Woodside Petroleum , French power producer Engie SA and Norway’s Yara International, to form a plan to use land, wind and solar resources to produce hydrogen.
