阿布扎比國有企業將在氫能源方面展開合作

由 端木泰華 發佈於 財經

阿布扎比最大的三家國有企業——Adnoc,Mubadala Investment和阿布扎比發展控股公司(ADQ)已簽署了一項協議,建立“阿布扎比氫能聯盟”,以在阿聯酋和更廣泛的阿聯酋開發低碳氫燃料。

據阿聯酋官方通訊社WAM報道,這三家公司將“制定路線圖,以通過各自的運營公司以及與國際夥伴合作,加快在阿聯酋在公用事業,交通運輸和工業等主要行業採用和使用氫的方式”。

他們將確定市場機會並制定路線圖,在阿聯酋建立氫氣生產基地。Adnoc首席執行官Sultan al-Jaber表示,目前的重點將放在利用天然氣和碳捕獲技術製成的“藍色氫”上。

“在我們通過聯盟探索綠色氫能機會的同時,利用其豐富的天然氣儲量和一流的基礎設施以及廣泛的客户關係來特別重視追求藍色氫能項目,以幫助推動氫行業。”

Adnoc表示,其下游業務已經生產了約30萬噸/年的氫氣,並計劃將產量擴大至超過50萬噸/年。

今天的簽字是繼上週Adnoc與日本貿易和工業省(Meti)達成一項關於開發氨燃料和碳循環技術的協議,作為建立供應鏈和確保脱碳前的穩定供應的努力的一部分,為2050年實現脱碳社會建立供應鏈,確保穩定供應。阿聯酋已經是日本僅次於沙特阿拉伯的第二大原油供應國,約佔其石油進口總量的30%。

穆巴達拉(Mubadala)是阿布扎比的主權投資機構,在國內外擁有豐富的石油和天然氣產品組合。

它還擁有可再生能源集團Masdar,該集團正與Adnoc合作,通過一家名為Al-Reyadah的合資企業開發碳捕集與封存項目將收集每年約80萬噸的二氧化碳,用於注入Rumaitha油田。Adnoc計劃到2030年將其總碳捕獲能力提高到每年約500萬噸。

ADQ成立於2018年,是一家控股公司,旨在管理公司,以發展和支持酋長國具有戰略意義的重要經濟集羣。其投資組合包括阿布扎比港口、阿聯酋鋼鐵公司和阿提哈德鐵路公司。

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.
