據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)3月23日報道，法國液化空氣集團(tuán)宣布在比利時安特衛(wèi)普港建設(shè)一個工業(yè)規(guī)模的氨裂解試驗(yàn)工廠。氫轉(zhuǎn)化為氨后，可以很容易地長距離運(yùn)輸。利用創(chuàng)新技術(shù)，該工廠將能夠以優(yōu)化的碳足跡將氨轉(zhuǎn)化為氫。有了這項(xiàng)裂解技術(shù)，液化空氣集團(tuán)將進(jìn)一步為氫的開發(fā)作出貢獻(xiàn)，氫氣是能源轉(zhuǎn)型的關(guān)鍵推動者。

氨是一種由氫和氮組成的分子，可以用作能量載體。在擁有豐富可再生能源（如太陽能、水和風(fēng)能）或其他低碳能源的地區(qū)，其可以用來自氫的低碳足跡生產(chǎn)。全球供應(yīng)鏈基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施已經(jīng)到位，可以大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)、運(yùn)輸和利用，為各個行業(yè)服務(wù)。這使得可再生能源豐富的地區(qū)能夠向全球的最終用戶出口氨，在那里氨可以轉(zhuǎn)化回氫氣，為工業(yè)和交通的脫碳作出貢獻(xiàn)。

將一種新型高效工藝與液化空氣集團(tuán)的專有技術(shù)相結(jié)合的該創(chuàng)新試驗(yàn)工廠計劃于2024年投入運(yùn)營。

60多年來，液化空氣集團(tuán)掌握了氫氣從生產(chǎn)、運(yùn)輸、儲存、分銷到最終用途的全過程。在ADVANCE戰(zhàn)略計劃的背景下，集團(tuán)承諾到2035年在全球低碳?xì)鋬r值鏈上投資約80億歐元。

液化空氣集團(tuán)執(zhí)行副總裁Michael J. Graff表示，氨裂解技術(shù)補(bǔ)充了液化空氣集團(tuán)已經(jīng)完善的氫技術(shù)組合，并為發(fā)展全球氫市場提供了另一種技術(shù)解決方案。該集團(tuán)比以往任何時候都更致力于使氫成為應(yīng)對氣候變化的關(guān)鍵因素，特別是在重工業(yè)和交通的脫碳方面。

Air Liquide paves the way for ammonia conversion into hydrogen with new cracking technology

Hydrocarbon Processing

23 Mar.2023

Air Liquide announces the construction of an industrial scale ammonia (NH3) cracking pilot plant in the port of Antwerp, Belgium. When transformed into ammonia, hydrogen can be easily transported over long distances. Using innovative technology, this plant will make it possible to convert, with an optimized carbon footprint, ammonia into hydrogen (H2). With this cracking technology, Air Liquide will further contribute to the development of hydrogen as a key enabler of the energy transition.

Ammonia - a molecule made of hydrogen and nitrogen - can be used as an energy carrier. It can be produced with a low-carbon footprint from hydrogen in geographies with abundant renewable energy sources such as sun, water and wind, or other low-carbon power. A global supply chain infrastructure is already in place for its production, transportation and utilization at large scale to serve various industries. This allows regions with abundant renewable energy to export ammonia to end users across the globe, where it can be converted back to hydrogen to contribute to the decarbonization of industry and mobility.

The innovative pilot plant, which combines a novel efficient process with Air Liquide’s proprietary technologies, is planned to be operational in 2024.

For over 60 years, Air Liquide has mastered hydrogen from production, transport, storage and distribution to its final usages. Within the context of its ADVANCE strategic plan, the Group is committed to investing globally approximately 8 billion euros in the low-carbon hydrogen value chain by 2035.

Michael J. Graff, Executive Vice President, Air Liquide Group, said “Ammonia cracking complements Air Liquide’s already thorough portfolio of hydrogen technologies and adds yet another technological solution to enable the development of a hydrogen global market. More than ever, the Group is committed to making hydrogen a key element of the fight against climate change, in particular for the decarbonization of heavy industry and mobility.”
