據世界天然氣4月27日消息：法國液化空氣公司預計，到2035年，其氫氣收入將增長兩倍，這得益于對低碳氫供應鏈約80億歐元的投資，并將為該行業和清潔交通發展低碳氫生態系統做出貢獻。

　　談到這家工業氣體巨頭的清潔能源目標時，該公司負責氫能戰略和政策支持的副總裁彼得·麥基表示，液化空氣公司希望到2030年建成或正在建造3吉瓦的電解槽。

　　“我們液化空氣集團，當然還有工業氣體同行，都在努力開發新技術和合作伙伴關系，以真正開發可再生氫空間，解決可再生和低碳氫市場的問題。”

　　“為達成目標，根據《巴黎協定》條款，我們需要在2050年前實現全球凈零排放。我們還看到，占世界GDP一半以上的75個國家宣布到2050年實現凈零碳排放。此外，已經有20多個國家現禁止在2035年之前銷售內燃機汽車。”

　　“液化空氣集團還宣布了與巴黎協議一致的新氣候目標，并提出到2050年實現碳中和的目標，我認為，這是目前工業氣體領域最激進的一年。除此之外，該公司的中間目標是到2035年將我們的二氧化碳排放絕對值減少三分之一。”

　　麥基不再關注液化空氣公司的氫氣希望，而是繼續關注整個氫生態系統。當然，氫能社會的發展也催生了許多新公司。

　　“我們相信，工業氣體行業在這個生態系統中扮演著非常重要的角色。氫能市場的發展自然吸引了許多新公司進入該領域，但是工業氣體行業如今擁有處理氫特別是液態氫的經驗，這將是大量氫氣在世界各地運輸的方式之一。”

　　Air Liquide on accelerating the green hydrogen pipeline

　　Air Liquide sees its hydrogen revenues trebling by 2035, driven by investment of around €8bn in the low-carbon hydrogen supply chain and contributing to the development of a low-carbon hydrogen ecosystem for the industry and clean mobility.

　　That’s what Peter Mackey, Air Liquide’s Vice-President of Strategy & Policy Support for Hydrogen Energy told gasworld’s Virtual Europe Industrial Gas Summit 2021 today (27th April), when he focused on all things green hydrogen.

　　Speaking of the industrial gas giant’s clean energy goals, Mackey also told the audience that Air Liquide hopes to construct, or be constructing, three gigawatts of electrolyser capacity by 2030. “Low carbon hydrogen is necessary to decarbonise existing industrial uses and markets,” he told attendees.

　　“We at Air Liquide, and of course our industrial gas peers, are working very hard on developing new technologies and partnerships to really develop the renewable hydrogen space to address both renewable and low carbon hydrogen markets.”

　　“To set the scene, under the terms of the Paris agreement, we need to achieve or get the world’s net zero by 2050. We’ve also seen 75 countries, representing over half the world’s GDP, announce net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the majority of course, with China look to achieve this by 2060. Further to that, we’ve seen over 20 countries now have banned the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035.”

　　“Air Liquide has also announced new climate objectives that are consistent with the Paris agreement, and target of carbon neutrality by 2050, which I think at the moment is the most aggressive of the year in the industrial gas space. Further to that, we [Air Liquide] have an intermediate target is to reduce our CO2 emissions by a third in absolute terms by 2035.”

　　Shifting away from a focus on Air Liquide’s hydrogen hopes, Mackey went on to focus as the hydrogen ecosystem as a whole. Of course, the development of a hydrogen society has seen many new companies emerge in the sector – but where do the industrial gas players come into the development of a clean energies economy? That’s exactly what Mackey discussed today.

　　“We [Air Liquide] believes that we [the industrial gases industry] have a very critical role to play in this in this ecosystem. We recognise that the development of the hydrogen energy market is naturally attracting many new entrants into this into this space, but we [the industrial gases industry] are the ones today that have the experience of handling hydrogen and particularly liquid hydrogen, which will be one of the aspects in which one of the formats in which large quantities of hydrogen are going to be transported around the world.”

　　“The industry has the worldwide safety procedures and experience of handling this molecule, and it’s therefore critically important that we share that it’s in the interest of all of us to operate safely and also to protect new markets. We have to recognise that as we move into the hydrogen energy space, then hydrogen leaves the safety of being used in the industrial world and becomes accessible to the general consumer. Taking this into consideration, we have to recognise the importance of safety in operations.”
