據(jù)油價網(wǎng)5月5日報道,歐洲正將目光聚焦在氫能上,以減少化石燃料的使用,并在2050年之前實現(xiàn)氣候中和,但氫工業(yè)在使該行業(yè)成為可擴展且具有成本效益的天然氣替代品方面仍具有挑戰(zhàn)。
歐盟可再生能源戰(zhàn)略包括到本十年末在歐盟生產(chǎn)1000萬噸和進口1000萬噸可再生氫氣的目標。歐盟委員會概述了一個“氫加速器”概念,以擴大綠色氫的部署,歐盟委員會表示,這將有助于加速能源轉型和歐盟能源系統(tǒng)的脫碳。
今年3月,歐盟委員會制定了新計劃,通過歐洲氫能銀行(EHB)激勵和支持對可持續(xù)氫生產(chǎn)的投資,該計劃旨在加速投資并彌合投資缺口,以實現(xiàn)歐盟在REPowerEU計劃下雄心勃勃的氫能目標。
4月,歐洲一些最大經(jīng)濟體領導人承諾將北海變成海上風能、氫能和碳捕獲能源中心。
但專家告訴《能源之聲》,擴大氫氣生產(chǎn)和進口需要創(chuàng)造一個全新市場,這可能面臨供應和定價方面的挑戰(zhàn)。
歐洲港口的氫能項目經(jīng)理Maxime Peeterst告訴能源之聲,歐洲港口可能在未來的氫能經(jīng)濟中發(fā)揮作用,安特衛(wèi)普-布魯日港計劃占領部分新市場。
行業(yè)官員認為,歐盟需要在未來幾年修改氫法規(guī)中的一些條款,以使歐洲氫產(chǎn)業(yè)具有全球競爭力。行業(yè)機構氫能委員會(hydrogen Council)執(zhí)行董事達里爾•威爾遜(Daryl Wilson)4月接受《氫經(jīng)濟學家》(hydrogen Economist)采訪時表示,與其他司法管轄區(qū)相比,歐盟法規(guī)的復雜性使歐洲在氫能項目在推進方面競爭力下降。
就提議和宣布的項目原始數(shù)量而言,歐盟的項目要比美國多得多。但在美國,有更多項目轉向最終投資決定(FID)。

Europe's Ambitious Hydrogen Plans Face Challenges
Europe is betting on hydrogen to cut the use of fossil fuels and achieve climate neutrality by 2050, but the hydrogen industry faces challenges in making the sector a scalable and cost-effective replacement for natural gas.
The EU's renewables strategy includes the ambition to produce 10 million tons and import 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen in the EU by the end of this decade. The European Commission has outlined a 'hydrogen accelerator' concept to scale up the deployment of green hydrogen, which, the EC says, will contribute to accelerating the energy transition and decarbonizing the EU's energy system.
In March, the Commission set out new plans to incentivize and support investment in sustainable hydrogen production through a European Hydrogen Bank (EHB), an initiative aimed at accelerating investment and bridging the investment gap for the EU to reach its ambitious hydrogen targets under the REPowerEU plan.
Last month, the leaders of some of Europe's biggest economies pledged to turn the North Sea into an offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture energy hub.
But scaling up hydrogen production and imports would need the creation of an entirely new market, which could face challenges in offering and pricing, experts tell Energy Voice.
European ports could play a part in a future hydrogen economy, and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges plans to capture a part of this new market, the port's hydrogen program manager Maxime Peeterst told Energy Voice.
Industry officials believe that the EU needs to revise some provisions in the hydrogen regulation in the coming years to make Europe's hydrogen industry globally competitive. The complexity of EU regulations compared to other jurisdictions makes Europe less competitive in hydrogen project advancement, Daryl Wilson, executive director of industry body the Hydrogen Council, told Hydrogen Economist in an interview last month.
"In terms of the raw number of projects proposed and announcements, there are many more projects in the EU versus the US. But there are more projects moving to FID in the US," Wilson said.
