据烃加工新闻6月29日消息称，荷兰政府周三表示，到2031年，将投资7.5亿欧元（7.89亿美元）建立一个全国性的氢运输网络。

在致议会的一封信中，能源部长Rob Jetten表示，政府将委托该国天然气网络运营商Gasunie管理和运营该网络，部分网络将在2026年前完成。

Jetten说：“我们推出计划的目的是建立一个穿越主要产业集群的运输网络，将它们连接到存储设施，并将荷兰与邻国连接起来。”

这封信概述了该网络将采取的路线，通常是重新使用Gasunie天然气管道。

Gasunie首席执行官Han Fennema说：“我们现在开始在荷兰建设公共氢气网络，这将是向更可持续的能源系统过渡的一个巨大推动。”

Jetten概述的计划包括，到2030年，利用荷兰北海计划或在建的200吉瓦风力发电场的一部分，作为一种可用于生产氢气的绿色能源。

一吉瓦的电力足以为100万户家庭提供电力，但目前生产氢气的工艺成本高，效率低。

Dutch Government Pledges $789 Million to Develop Hydrogen Network

The Dutch government on Wednesday said it would invest 750 million euros ($789 million) through to 2031 to develop a national hydrogen transportation network.

In a letter to parliament, Energy Minister Rob Jetten said the government would task Gasunie, the country's gas network operator, with managing and operating the network, parts of which are due to be completed by 2026.

"The aim of our rollout plan is to have a transport network that passes through the major industrial clusters, connects them to storage facilities and connects the Netherlands with neighboring countries," Jetten said.

The letter sketched the route the network will take, often re-purposing Gasunie gas pipes.

"We (will) now start the construction of the public hydrogen network in the Netherlands, which will be a great boost for the transition towards a more sustainable energy system," said Gasunie CEO Han Fennema.

The Dutch government has been discussing the idea of a hydrogen transportation network for years.

Plans outlined by Jetten included making use of part of the 20 gigawatts worth of wind farms planned or under construction in the Dutch North Sea by 2030 as a source of green energy that can be used to produce hydrogen.

One gigawatt of electricity is about enough to power a million households, but current processes for producing hydrogen are costly and inefficient.
