據美國鉆井網站2021年7月21日報道，阿布扎比國家石油公司(阿國油/ADNOC)透露，阿國油日前已加入國際氫能理事會，國際氫能理事會是一個旨在通過其成員公司加速氫的全球地位的國際組織。

　　阿國油在其公司網站上發布的一份聲明中指出，氫及其載體燃料作為新型低碳燃料具有巨大潛力，阿國油和阿聯酋很好地利用了這一優勢。 阿國油強調說，該公司計劃利用其現有的氫生產、基礎設施、合作基礎以及豐富的天然氣儲量來領導阿布扎比和阿聯酋的氫活動，目標是成為全球氫成本最低和世界最大藍色氫生產商之一。

　　阿聯酋工業和先進技術部長、阿國油總經理兼集團首席執行官艾哈邁德·賈貝爾在一份公司聲明中表示：“由于全球人口增長和經濟發展加速，能源需求持續增長。”

　　賈貝爾說：“隨著能源轉型的進行，這意味著需要更多的排放更少的能源。阿國油是氫及其載體燃料(如藍氨)新興市場的先驅，在推動阿聯酋在創建國際氫價值鏈和當地氫生態系統方面發揮領導作用。”

　　他繼續說：“我們很高興加入國際氫能源理事會，并期待與其成員和秘書處合作，推動氫作為一種低碳能源的使用。”

　　國際氫能理事會的成員包括幾家石油和天然氣大公司，諸如沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司、挪威能源巨頭Equinor、荷蘭皇家殼牌公司、法國道達爾能源公司和美國雪佛龍公司。

　　據國際氫能理事會稱，到2050年前，氫預計將占全球能源需求的18%。

　　ADNOC Joins Hydrogen Council

　　Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has revealed that it has joined the Hydrogen Council, which is an international organization that aims to accelerate the global position of hydrogen through its member companies.

　　Hydrogen and its carrier fuels have great potential as new, low carbon fuels, which ADNOC and the UAE are well placed to capitalize upon, ADNOC noted in a statement posted on its website. The company highlighted that it plans to leverage its existing hydrogen production, infrastructure, partnership base, and vast reserves of natural gas to lead Abu Dhabi and the UAE’s hydrogen activities with the aim to become one of the lowest cost and largest producers of blue hydrogen in the world.

　　“Energy demand continues to increase as global populations expand and economic development accelerates,” Ahmed Al Jaber, the United Arab Emirates Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC managing director and group chief executive, said in a company statement.

　　“With an energy transition taking place, this means that more energy is needed with fewer emissions. ADNOC is an early pioneer in the emerging market for hydrogen and its carrier fuels, such as blue ammonia, driving the UAE’s leadership in creating international hydrogen value chains and a local hydrogen eco-system,” he added.

　　“We are pleased to join the Hydrogen Council and look forward to working with its members and the secretariat to advance the use of hydrogen as a low carbon energy source,” he continued.

　　The Hydrogen Council counts several oil and gas companies among its members, including Saudi Aramco, Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies, and Chevron. Wood also revealed that it had become a member of the council recently. According to the Hydrogen Council, hydrogen is expected to account for as much as 18 percent of global energy demand by 2050.
