阿布扎比最大的三家国有企业——Adnoc,Mubadala Investment和阿布扎比发展控股公司(ADQ)已签署了一项协议,建立“阿布扎比氢能联盟”,以在阿联酋和更广泛的阿联酋开发低碳氢燃料。
据阿联酋官方通讯社WAM报道,这三家公司将“制定路线图,以通过各自的运营公司以及与国际伙伴合作,加快在阿联酋在公用事业,交通运输和工业等主要行业采用和使用氢的方式”。
他们将确定市场机会并制定路线图,在阿联酋建立氢气生产基地。Adnoc首席执行官Sultan al-Jaber表示,目前的重点将放在利用天然气和碳捕获技术制成的“蓝色氢”上。
“在我们通过联盟探索绿色氢能机会的同时,利用其丰富的天然气储量和一流的基础设施以及广泛的客户关系来特别重视追求蓝色氢能项目,以帮助推动氢行业。”
Adnoc表示,其下游业务已经生产了约30万吨/年的氢气,并计划将产量扩大至超过50万吨/年。
今天的签字是继上周Adnoc与日本贸易和工业省(Meti)达成一项关于开发氨燃料和碳循环技术的协议,作为建立供应链和确保脱碳前的稳定供应的努力的一部分,为2050年实现脱碳社会建立供应链,确保稳定供应。阿联酋已经是日本仅次于沙特阿拉伯的第二大原油供应国,约占其石油进口总量的30%。
穆巴达拉(Mubadala)是阿布扎比的主权投资机构,在国内外拥有丰富的石油和天然气产品组合。
它还拥有可再生能源集团Masdar,该集团正与Adnoc合作,通过一家名为Al-Reyadah的合资企业开发碳捕集与封存项目将收集每年约80万吨的二氧化碳,用于注入Rumaitha油田。Adnoc计划到2030年将其总碳捕获能力提高到每年约500万吨。
ADQ成立于2018年,是一家控股公司,旨在管理公司,以发展和支持酋长国具有战略意义的重要经济集群。其投资组合包括阿布扎比港口、阿联酋钢铁公司和阿提哈德铁路公司。

Three of Abu Dhabi's biggest state-owned companies — Adnoc, Mubadala Investment and Abu Dhabi Development Holding (ADQ) — have signed an agreement to establish the 'Abu Dhabi Hydrogen Alliance' to develop low-carbon hydrogen fuel in the emirate and wider UAE.
The three companies will "develop a roadmap to accelerate the UAE's adoption and use of hydrogen in major sectors such as utilities, mobility and industry, through their respective operating companies and with international partners", according to state news agency WAM.
They will identify market opportunities and develop a roadmap to create hydrogen production sites in the UAE. For now, the focus will be on "blue hydrogen" that is made using gas, alongside carbon capture technology, Adnoc chief executive Sultan al-Jaber said.
"While we explore green hydrogen opportunities through the Alliance, Adnoc will place special emphasis on pursuing blue hydrogen projects by expanding on its existing hydrogen capacity, leveraging its significant gas reserves and best-in-class infrastructure, as well as its extensive customer relationships to help advance the hydrogen industry, both domestically and internationally," al-Jaber said.
Adnoc already produces some 300,000 t/yr of hydrogen for its downstream operations, and plans to expand output to more than 500,000 t/yr, it said.
The signing today follows an agreement last week between Adnoc and Japan's trade and industry ministry (Meti) on developing ammonia fuel and carbon recycling technology as part of efforts to build a supply chain and secure stable supplies in the run-up to a de-carbonised society by 2050. The UAE is already Japan's second-largest crude supplier after Saudi Arabia and accounts for around 30pc of its total oil imports.
Mubadala is Abu Dhabi's sovereign investment vehicle and has a considerable oil and gas portfolio, both domestically and overseas.
It also owns renewable energy group Masdar, which is working with Adnoc to develop carbon capture and storage projects through a joint venture known as Al-Reyadah. This captures around 800,000 t/yr of CO2 for injection into the Rumaitha oil field. Adnoc plans to boost its total carbon capture capacity to around 5mn t/yr by 2030.
ADQ was established in 2018 as a holding company to manage companies with the aim of developing and supporting strategically important economic clusters in the emirate. Its portfolio includes Abu Dhabi Ports, Emirates Steel and Etihad Rail.
