埃及将探索低碳制氢

尼罗河

中国石化新闻网讯 据世界能源3月8日消息：埃及于3月7日公布了一份评估该国低碳氢生产的谅解备忘录(MoU)，有望推动该国的氢经济增长。

该备忘录由欧洲复兴开发银行(EBRD)签署，将支持埃及实现其可再生能源潜力，大规模生产太阳能，然后将其转化为氢气。

欧洲复兴开发银行、埃及电力和可再生能源部以及石油和矿产资源部将探索评估低碳氢供应链潜力的框架。

该评估将包括绘制当前和未来预期的国际氢市场供需情况，分析埃及现有和潜在的氢生产，并评估氢及其衍生物的储存、转化和运输。

除此之外，它还将为该国的低碳氢战略提供指导，促进氢作为脱碳燃料的可持续发展，以缓解气候变化，同时确保成本效益并确定潜在的投资领域。

欧洲复兴开发银行负责政策的副行长马克·鲍曼表示:“我们非常自豪能够为埃及未来的国家低碳氢战略做出贡献，这符合该行在其投资领域减缓气候变化的承诺。”

“世行一直大力支持埃及的可再生能源发展，提供政策建议、技术援助和融资。我们的目标是支持国家实现另一个里程碑。”

Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production to Be Explored in Egypt

Egypt could be set to grow its hydrogen economy with the revealing today on March 7 of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to assess low-carbon hydrogen production in the country.

Signed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the company will support Egypt in achieving its renewable energy potential with masses of solar energy production which can then be turned into hydrogen.

A framework for assessing the potential of low-carbon hydrogen supply chains will be explored by EBRD and the Egyptian Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy and the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.

The assessment will include mapping the current and future expected international supply and demand of the hydrogen market, analysing existing and potential hydrogen production in Egypt and valuing the storage, conversion and transportation of hydrogen and its derivatives.

As well as this, it will provide guidelines for the country’s low-carbon hydrogen strategy, promoting the sustainable development of hydrogen as a decarbonised fuel for climate change mitigation, while ensuring cost effectiveness and identifying potential areas for investment.

Mark Bowman, Vice-President for Policy at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, said, “We are very proud to contribute to Egypt’s future national low-carbon hydrogen strategy, which is in line with the Bank’s commitment to mitigating climate change where it invests.

“The Bank has been a strong supporter of renewable energy development in Egypt, providing policy advice, technical assistance and financing. Our aim is to back the country in achieving another milestone.”
