据油价网5月5日报道,欧洲正将目光聚焦在氢能上,以减少化石燃料的使用,并在2050年之前实现气候中和,但氢工业在使该行业成为可扩展且具有成本效益的天然气替代品方面仍具有挑战。
欧盟可再生能源战略包括到本十年末在欧盟生产1000万吨和进口1000万吨可再生氢气的目标。欧盟委员会概述了一个“氢加速器”概念,以扩大绿色氢的部署,欧盟委员会表示,这将有助于加速能源转型和欧盟能源系统的脱碳。
今年3月,欧盟委员会制定了新计划,通过欧洲氢能银行(EHB)激励和支持对可持续氢生产的投资,该计划旨在加速投资并弥合投资缺口,以实现欧盟在REPowerEU计划下雄心勃勃的氢能目标。
4月,欧洲一些最大经济体领导人承诺将北海变成海上风能、氢能和碳捕获能源中心。
但专家告诉《能源之声》,扩大氢气生产和进口需要创造一个全新市场,这可能面临供应和定价方面的挑战。
欧洲港口的氢能项目经理Maxime Peeterst告诉能源之声,欧洲港口可能在未来的氢能经济中发挥作用,安特卫普-布鲁日港计划占领部分新市场。
行业官员认为,欧盟需要在未来几年修改氢法规中的一些条款,以使欧洲氢产业具有全球竞争力。行业机构氢能委员会(hydrogen Council)执行董事达里尔•威尔逊(Daryl Wilson)4月接受《氢经济学家》(hydrogen Economist)采访时表示,与其他司法管辖区相比,欧盟法规的复杂性使欧洲在氢能项目在推进方面竞争力下降。
就提议和宣布的项目原始数量而言,欧盟的项目要比美国多得多。但在美国,有更多项目转向最终投资决定(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.
