原标题：机构：可再生氢在碳中和道路上成本开始逐渐降低
中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工网站9月10日消息 海湾能源信息First Element会议的最后一天开始了一个主题演讲，重点是用可再生氢逐步过渡到碳中和。Engie首席商务官Caroline Hillegeer分享了公司在有利位置开发绿色氢气的战略如何推动生产，并因此开始降低成本。
Hillegeer表示：“在法国南部的一个项目中，我们开发了一个工业规模的绿色氢气设施，以支持炼油厂的脱碳。我们为经济提供脱碳解决方案，从炼油厂开始，也从移动和其他终端用户开始。由于Fos港口，我们预计欧洲和国际连接以及未来的进出口可能性。同时，在产业生态系统中，我们还创建了一个氢工业安全专业中心。这确实是一种区域性的方法，建立了这个生态系统并为当地、行业和其他领域创造了价值。”
填补绿色氢和灰色氢之间的竞争力差距是该方法面临的主要挑战之一，但Hillegeer表示，公司坚信只要当今的投资规模较大，且项目得到必要的立法、监管和财务支持，这种差距是开发的临时过渡端口。
Hillegeer表示：“氢理事会和国际能源署等国际专家达成共识并宣布称，由于可再生电力生产成本的降低，以及在某些情况下可以实现的生产率提高，这一差距和竞争力最早可以在2030年消除，在某些情况下甚至更早。”
“在过去五年中，电解槽的资本支出下降了40-50%，主要是由于规模和生产成本的提高，这一成功的关键是所有努力的同步。”
与当地参与者合作，在其他有利地点开发可再生氢，这一模式类似于Engie在其法国南部地点实施的模式，是降低绿色氢成本道路上的关键一步。Hillegeer补充称，在氨生产、化工、采矿等行业，对绿色氢的需求不断增长时间和化学品也将导致氢气价格优化。

Renewable H2 cost reduction on the path to carbon neutrality
The final day of Gulf Energy Information’s First Element Conference began with a keynote session focused on ramping up the transition to carbon neutrality with renewable hydrogen. Caroline Hillegeer, Chief Commercial Officer, Engie, shared how the company’s strategy of developing green hydrogen in favorable locations has driven production, and consequently, begun to lower costs.
“In a project in the South of France, we have developed an industrial-scale green hydrogen facility to support the decarbonization of a refinery. We offered decarbonization solutions for the economy starting from the refinery, but also from mobility, and other end users, said Hillegeer. “We anticipate European and international connections thanks to the Port of Fos, and the future import and export possibilities. And, at the same time, in the ecosystem, we also created a hydrogen industrial safety center of expertise. it’s really a regional type of approach, building this ecosystem and creating value for the local territory, the industry and beyond.”
Bridging the competitiveness gap between green hydrogen and grey hydrogen is one of the main challenges facing this approach, but Hillegeer said the company strongly believes that this gap is temporary, provided that present-day investments are made on a large scale, and that projects receive the necessary legislative, regulatory and financial support to allow this deployment.
“Consensus of international experts such as the Hydrogen Council and the International Energy Agency announced that this gap and competitiveness could be eliminated as early as 2030, in certain occasions, even before, thanks to the reduction of the production cost of renewable electricity, as well as productivity gains that could be achieved on the technology part—thanks to massification and eventually new technologies,” said Hillegeer.
“In the last five years the CAPEX of the electrolyzer has fallen by 40-50%, mainly due to scale and improved production costs. What is really essential for this success is the synchronization of all efforts.”
Teaming up with local players in the development of renewable hydrogen at other favorable sites, a model similar to the one Engie has implemented at its South France site, is a key step on the path to green hydrogen cost reduction. Hillegeer added that growing demand for green hydrogen in sectors such as ammonia production, chemicals, mining, maritime and chemicals will also lead to hydrogen price optimization.
