中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)5月30日消息稱，Hyphen氫能源公司已與納米比亞政府就一項價值100億美元的綠色氫項目的下一階段達成協(xié)議，該項目完成后產(chǎn)出的氫將出口到歐洲。

Hyphen的股東包括總部位于德國的Enertrag公司，該公司于2021年被宣布為納米布沙漠Tsau Khaeb國家公園項目的優(yōu)先投標人。

“周五……我們啟動了一個有可能改變我們國家、該地區(qū)乃至世界許多人生活的進程。”納米比亞政府在一份聲明中說。

該工廠將分階段建設，預計在2030年之前達到預期產(chǎn)量，最終將每年為區(qū)域和全球市場生產(chǎn)200萬噸綠色氨。

綠色氫是使用可再生能源制造的。

納米比亞是世界上陽光最充足、人口最稀少的國家之一，該國希望利用其太陽能和風能的潛力來生產(chǎn)綠色氫，并將自己定位為非洲的可再生能源中心。

但分析師表示，這個距離主要出口市場相對較遠的缺水國家是否能夠在新興的全球氫行業(yè)提供具有成本競爭力的產(chǎn)品，仍有待觀察。

Hyphen表示，過去一年，該公司已與一些潛在的歐洲客戶簽署了諒解備忘錄，目標是每年向這些客戶供應約75萬噸綠色氨。

Hyphen and Namibia Agree Next Phase of $10 Billion Green Hydrogen Project

Hyphen Hydrogen Energy has agreed a deal with the government of Namibia for the next phase of a $10 billion green hydrogen project that will export to Europe once complete, the two parties said on Wednesday.

Hyphen, whose shareholders include Germany-headquartered Enertrag, was announced as the preferred bidder in 2021 for the project in the Namib Desert"s Tsau Khaeb National Park.

"On Friday... we kick-start a process that has the potential to transform the lives of many in our country, the region and indeed the world," Namibia"s President Hage Geingob said in a statement.

The plant, to be built in phases, will eventually produce 2 million tonnes of green ammonia a year for regional and global markets when it reaches full-scale output, which is anticipated before 2030.

Green hydrogen is made using renewable energy.

Namibia, one of the world"s sunniest and most sparsely populated countries, wants to harness its potential for solar and wind energy to produce green hydrogen and position itself as a renewable energy hub in Africa.

But it remains to be seen whether the water-scarce country, relatively far away from key export markets, will be able to deliver a cost competitive product in an emerging global hydrogen sector, said analysts.

Over the past year, Hyphen has signed memoranda of understanding with a number of potential European customers, to which it aims to supply about 750,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, it said.
