據ICIS-MRC網站12月27日莫斯科報道，據Kemicalinfo消息稱，挪威能源巨頭挪威國家石油公司(Equinor)表示，該公司與法國Engie公司合作，在比利時開發了一個從天然氣中生產低碳氫的項目。

H2BE項目的宣布（該項目旨在使用自熱重整 (ATR) 結合碳捕獲和儲存 (CCS) 從天然氣中生產氫氣）遵循兩家公司于2月簽署的諒解備忘錄。

比利時政府在10月發布了氫戰略，Equinor表示H2BE項目將幫助比利時實現該戰略。

Equinor是向比利時供應挪威天然氣的主要供應商，其交付的天然氣被送往Zeebrugge終端。

該公司表示，ATR技術可以使脫碳率達到95%以上，并以“有競爭力”的成本水平大規模生產氫氣。

Equinor和Engie現在計劃啟動一項可行性研究，以評估根特地區生產氫氣的場地的技術和經濟適用性。

Equinor表示，與潛在的氫氣承購商（主要是大型、難以減排的行業）的商業談判同時繼續進行。正在與北海港討論與港口基礎設施的整合，而比利時電網運營商Fluxys也加入了該項目。

所有合作伙伴的目標都是在2030年之前開始運營，以實現比利時2030年中期脫碳目標。

Equinor collaborates with French Engie to develop project on production of low-carbon hydrogen in Belgium

Norway’s Equinor said that it collaborated with France’s Engie to develop a project designed to produce low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas in Belgium, according to Kemicalinfo.

The announcement of the H2BE project - which aims to produce hydrogen from natural gas using autothermal reforming (ATR) combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS) - follows a memorandum of understanding between the two companies signed in February.

The Belgian government released its hydrogen strategy in October and Equinor said the H2BE project would help Belgium deliver on the strategy.

Equinor is a major supplier of Norwegian gas to Belgium, with deliveries sent into the Zeebrugge receiving terminal.

It said the ATR technology allows for decarbonization rates above 95% and for producing hydrogen at large scale at “competitive” cost levels.

Equinor and Engie now plan to launch a feasibility study to assess the technical and economic suitability of a site in the Ghent area to produce the hydrogen.

“Commercial talks with potential hydrogen offtakers, predominantly large, hard-to-abate industries, continue simultaneously,” Equinor said.

Discussions are also ongoing with North Sea Port on integration with port infrastructure, it said, while Belgian grid operator Fluxys is also joining the project.

All partners aim to start operations well before 2030 in order to contribute to Belgium’s 2030 interim decarbonization targets.
