英力士将石化厂改用氢气以追求净零排放

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工新闻9月22日消息称，英力士将花费超过10亿英镑(14亿美元)将其位于苏格兰格兰茅斯的大型石化工厂和炼油厂改造成氢燃料，以使其到 2045 年实现“净零”排放。

　　英国的目标是到2050年达到净零排放，并已显著减少发电的排放，但发现要减少工业的碳足迹更加困难。

　　英力士格兰茅斯公司董事长 Andrew Gardner 表示，该公司最初将使用天然气在现场生产自己的氢，即所谓的蓝色氢，到2030年至少有100万吨二氧化碳(CO2)被储存和捕获。

　　Gardner告诉路透:“下一阶段将使用绿色氢，到2045年将整个工厂的氢排放降为零。”

　　绿色氢是使用风能或太阳能等可再生能源生产的。

　　Gardner表示，2005年英力士从英国石油手中接管该工厂时，年二氧化碳排放量约为500万吨，但现在约为每年300万吨，预计到2030年将降至180万吨。

　　英力士7月份表示，将与苏格兰的Acorn碳捕捉和储存项目合作，该项目旨在将二氧化碳排放储存在北海。

　　INEOS to switch petrochemical plant to hydrogen in pursuit of net zero

　　INEOS will convert its vast Scottish petrochemicals plant and oil refinery at Grangemouth to run on hydrogen at a cost of more than 1 billion pounds ($1.4 billion) to make it 'net zero' for carbon emissions by 2045.

　　Britain has a target to reach net zero by 2050 and has significantly reduced emissions from power generation, but has found it harder to cut industry's carbon footprint.

　　Andrew Gardner, Chairman of INEOS Grangemouth said the company would initially use gas to produce its own hydrogen on site, so-called blue hydrogen, with at least 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) stored and captured by 2030.

　　"The next stage would be using green hydrogen," Gardner told Reuters, to bring the entire site to net zero by 2045.

　　Green hydrogen is produced using renewable power sources such as wind or solar.

　　Gardner said annual emissions were around 5 million tonnes of CO2 when INEOS took over the site from BP (BP.L) in 2005, but these are now around 3 million tonnes a year and are expected to fall to 1.8 million tonnes by 2030.

　　INEOS said in July it would work with the Acorn carbon capture and storage project in Scotland, which aims to store CO2 emissions in the North Sea.
