据安迅斯能源12月10日消息称，埃克森美孚子公司埃索石油有限公司、SGN和麦格理绿色投资集团(GIG)签署了一份谅解备忘录(MoU)，探索在南安普顿工业集群的一个氢枢纽项目中使用氢和碳捕集技术。
南安普顿是英国最大的工业部门之一，也是国家能源供应链的关键元素。SGN和GIG的初步可行性研究估计，到2050年，埃克森美孚Fawley综合工厂所在的产业集群每年的氢需求将上升到37太瓦时。这一估算包括英格兰南部80万户家庭的供暖需求。
该研究还估计，碳捕获可能在帮助减少排放方面发挥关键作用。该地区的碳捕获设施每年可以捕获约200万吨二氧化碳，包括最初每年4.3太瓦时的氢气生产。两家公司表示，如果技术和商业可行性得到确认，只要得到政府的支持，他们最早可以在 2030 年开始生产氢气。
SGN在2014年之前被称为苏格兰天然气网络，负责管理向该地区590万户家庭和企业输送天然气和绿色天然气的管道。GIG管理专门从事绿色基础设施投资和项目开发的组合资产。它最初由英国于 2012 年作为绿色投资银行推出。2017 年，它被麦格理收购，并与该公司的可再生能源团队合并，在 GIG 下运营。

ExxonMobil signs MoU with SGN to explore UK hydrogen hub
ExxonMobil affiliate Esso Petroleum Company Limited, SGN and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the use of hydrogen and carbon capture for a hydrogen hub project in the Southampton industrial cluster, said the company.
Southampton is one of the UK’s largest industrial sectors, and a critical element of the country’s energy supply chains. An initial feasibility study by SGN and GIG estimates that the annual hydrogen demand from the industrial cluster, which is home to ExxonMobil’s Fawley complex could rise to 37 TWh by 2050. This estimate includes heating demand of 800,000 homes across the south of England.
The study also estimates that carbon capture could play a key role to help reduce emissions. Carbon capture facilities placed in the area could capture approximately 2m tonnes/year of carbon dioxide (CO2), including from initial hydrogen production of 4.3 TWh/year of hydrogen. The companies said that if technical and business feasibility is /confirm/ied, they could start hydrogen production as early as 2030, provided they have government support.
SGN, formerly known as Scotland Gas Networks before 2014, manages the pipelines that distribute natural gas and green gas to 5.9m homes and businesses across the region. GIG manages portfolio assets that specialise in green infrastructure investment and project development. It was initially launched by the UK in 2012 as the Green Investment Bank. In 2017 it was bought by Macquarie and combined with the firm’s renewables team, operating under GIG.
