據能源經濟5月24日消息稱，西班牙將從歐盟復蘇基金中拿出15億歐元(約合18億美元)，在未來三年內開發綠色氫生產。

　　西班牙的目標是利用可再生能源取代化石燃料，成為歐洲領先的氫氣生產國，以抑制溫室氣體排放并創造就業機會。

　　政府預計，到2030年，這項支出將刺激89億歐元的投資，主要是私營部門的投資。

　　一份政府聲明稱，馬德里已經收到了來自能源公司的500多個“綠色氫”項目提案。

　　創造“綠色”或零排放的氫被視為發展可持續能源和削減碳排放的關鍵一步。

　　人們對氫技術產生濃厚興趣的一個原因是，當氫技術被用于燃料發動機時，唯一的排放是水蒸氣。

　　但它的生產成本很高，所需的電力會產生大量二氧化碳或其他污染物。

　　綠色氫是通過電解法(通過水的電流)產生的，由風能、太陽能或水力發電提供電力。

　　專家預測，使用可再生能源的綠色氫很快就會大幅降低成本，在許多領域變得比天然氣更便宜。

　　Spain to invest 1.5 bn euros in 'green hydrogen'

　　Spain will spend 1.5 billion euros ($1.8 billion) from a European Union recovery fund to develop green hydrogen production over the next three years.

　　The goal is for Spain to become Europe's leading hydrogen producer using renewable sources instead of fossil fuels to curb greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs.

　　Government expects the outlay will stimulate 8.9 billion euros of mainly private-sector investment to develop the technology by 2030.

　　Madrid has already received over 500 "green hydrogen" project proposals from energy firms, a government statement said.

　　Creating "green" or emissions-free hydrogen is seen as a key step towards developing sustainable energy sources and slashing carbon emissions.

　　One reason for the strong interest in hydrogen technology is when used to fuel motors, the only emission is water vapour.

　　But it is expensive to produce and the electricity needed generates a lot of carbon dioxide emissions or other pollutants.

　　Green hydrogen is produced via electrolysis -- an electrical current passing through water -- with wind, solar or hydro-electric power providing the electricity.

　　Europe in particular is anxious to get a handle on the new and still costly fuel, having missed the boat on solar and battery technology, which is dominated by China.

　　Experts predict green hydrogen using renewable energy will soon plunge in cost and become cheaper than natural gas in many areas.?
