據電力新聞2021年5月13日倫敦報道，英國海王星能源公司5月13日在一份業績聲明中表示，該公司正在荷蘭北海推進PosHYdon海上綠氫試點項目，并在英國推進DelpHYnus藍氫項目。

　　這家英國獨立石油和天然氣公司預計將在第二季度敲定1兆瓦 PosHYdon荷蘭海上電解槽項目的聯營協議，并開始一次可行性研究。

　　海王星能源公司日前已經向英國油氣管理局（OGA）申請在北海南部靠近天鵝島天然氣生產中心的DelpHYnus藍氫和碳捕獲和儲存項目的二氧化碳評估和儲存許可證。

　　海王星能源公司表示：“擬議中的DelpHYnus開發為South Humber工業區提供二氧化碳運輸和儲存解決方案，以及使用來自天然氣網的天然氣生產低碳氫的生產設施。”

　　海王星能源公司表示：“該公司已經為這個項目的評估階段提出了一個雄心勃勃的工作計劃，并正在與氫廠的潛在合作伙伴進行討論。”

　　OGA預計將在6個月內做出授予儲存許可證的決定。這個申請獨立于英國商業、能源和工業戰略部運行的英國CCS群選擇過程。

　　DelpHYnus項目將為南亨伯工業區提供二氧化碳運輸和儲存服務，以及位于前Theddlethorpe天然氣終端的低碳氫生產設施，使用來自天然氣網的天然氣作為原料。

　　海王星能源公司表示，該公司已經與南亨伯工業區的二氧化碳排放者和氫買家進行了接觸，并對二氧化碳儲存和低碳氫的需求前景充滿信心。海王星能源公司還在與工業氣體生產商就擬議中的藍氫廠合作進行討論。該公司下一步計劃建立一個端到端的價值鏈聯盟。

　　5月12日，評估英國通過自熱重整制氫的成本，包括資本支出和碳排放價格在內，為每公斤1.72英鎊(2.41美元)。

　　Neptune Energy progresses blue, green hydrogen projects in UK and Netherlands

　　Neptune Energy is progressing its PosHYdon offshore green hydrogen pilot project in the Dutch North Sea and its DelpHYnus blue hydrogen project in the UK, the company said May 13 in a results statement.

　　The independent oil and gas company expects to finalize the consortium agreement for the 1 MW PosHYdon Dutch offshore electrolyzer project in the second quarter and start a feasibility study.

　　In the UK, Neptune Energy has applied to the Oil and Gas Authority for a CO2 appraisal and storage license in the southern North Sea near its Cygnus gas production hub for its proposed DelpHYnus blue hydrogen and carbon capture and storage project.

　　"The proposed DelpHYnus development provides a CO2 transport and storage solution for the South Humber industrial area, together with production facilities for low carbon hydrogen using natural gas from the grid," Neptune Energy said.

　　"Neptune has proposed an ambitious work program for the appraisal phase of the project and is in discussions with potential partners for the hydrogen plant," it said.

　　The OGA is expected to make a decision on awarding the storage license within six months. The application is separate to the UK CCS cluster selection process run by the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

　　The DelpHYnus project will provide CO2 transportation and storage for the South Humber industrial area, along with low-carbon hydrogen production facilities at the former Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal, using natural gas from the grid as a feedstock.

　　Neptune said it has engaged with CO2 emitters and hydrogen buyers in the South Humber industrial area, and was confident in the demand landscape for CO2 storage and low-carbon hydrogen. The company is also in discussions with industrial gas producers to partner on the proposed blue hydrogen plant. The company next plans to develop an end-to-end value chain consortium.

　　It is assessed that the cost of producing hydrogen by autothermal reforming in the UK is GBP1.72/kg ($2.41/kg) on May 12, including capex and carbon.
