據(jù)鉆機地帶9月22日報道，意大利能源巨頭埃尼的英國分公司已向監(jiān)管機構(gòu)北海過渡管理局 (NSTA) 提交了一份關(guān)于北海南部Hewett枯竭氣田的碳儲存許可申請。

埃尼集團表示，該許可證將用于開發(fā)一個CCS項目，旨在使巴頓和泰晤士河河口地區(qū)脫碳。Hewett枯竭氣田是永久和安全儲存碳的理想場所，總儲存量約3.3億噸。

該CCS項目將避免向大氣排放大量二氧化碳，相當于每年300多萬戶家庭或600多萬輛汽車的二氧化碳排放量。

在該地區(qū)安全生產(chǎn)天然氣40多年的埃尼英國公司可以利用其在Hewett枯竭氣田方面的豐富經(jīng)驗和地下知識。

此外，埃尼宣布建立Bacton Thames Net-Zero倡議，為英國東南部的汽車、陶瓷、食品、材料、能源和廢物處理行業(yè)提供脫碳和釋放新的綠色增長機會，為英國的脫碳戰(zhàn)略提供實質(zhì)性支持。

埃尼集團英國公司表示，該公司將通過在其Hewett枯竭氣田運輸和儲存碳，在該行業(yè)主導的倡議中發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵作用，該氣田最早可于2027年投入運營。作為現(xiàn)有的二氧化碳評估和存儲許可證持有者，該公司將利用從利物浦灣CCS和更廣泛的HyNet NW集群獲得的持續(xù)技術(shù)和商業(yè)經(jīng)驗，為該計劃提供進一步的附加值。

在Bacton Thames Net Zero倡議下，工業(yè)合作伙伴的合作將為英國氫經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展作出重大貢獻，并成為解決英國東南部脫碳需求的規(guī)則改變者，同時支持英國的凈零目標。

Eni Looking To Turn Depleted Gas Field Off UK Into CSS Project

The UK branch of Italian energy major Eni has submitted a carbon storage license application for the Hewett depleted gas field on the Southern North Sea to the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA).

Eni said that the license would be used for the development of a CCS project aimed at decarbonizing the Bacton and Thames Estuary area. The Hewett depleted gas field is an ideal site for permanent and safe CO2 storage with a total capacity of about 330 million tons.

The CCS project will allow avoiding the emission of a significant volume of CO2 into the atmosphere, equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions of over 3 million homes or over 6 million cars per year.

Eni UK can leverage its extensive experience and subsurface knowledge of the Hewett depleted gas field, having operated safely the gas production in the area for over 40 years.

Also, Eni announced the setup of the Bacton Thames Net-Zero initiative to decarbonize and unlock new greener growth opportunities for the automotive, ceramics, food, materials, energy, and waste disposal sectors in the UK South East, supporting materially the UK’s decarbonization strategy.

Eni UK stated that it would play a pivotal role in this industry-led initiative by transporting and storing CO2 in its Hewett depleted gas field that could be operational as early as 2027. The company will provide further added value to this initiative by leveraging on the ongoing technical and commercial experience gained from Liverpool Bay CCS and the wider HyNet NW Cluster, as an existing CO2 appraisal and storage license holder.

The collaboration of industrial partners under the Bacton Thames Net-Zero initiative could contribute significantly to the development of a hydrogen economy in the UK and become a game-changer in addressing the decarbonization needs of the UK’s South-East, while supporting the UK’s net-zero targets.
