据MRCHUB网站9月7日莫斯科报道，日前，帝国石油（Imperial Oil）表示，其与空气产品公司（Air Products）签订一份长期合同，空气产品公司将为其位于艾伯塔省埃德蒙顿附近的Strathcona炼油厂拟议的可再生柴油综合设施提供低碳氢。

空气产品公司将从其埃德蒙顿在建氢气厂提供管道供应，并将该工厂的总投资增加到16亿加元，以支持该合同。帝国能源下游业务副总裁Jon Wetmore表示，我们与空气产品公司的协议是一个重要的里程碑，我们计划在加拿大建造最大的可再生柴油制造设施。这个项目凸显了帝国能源投资于低碳未来的承诺。

他表示，该公司将继续与商业伙伴和政府进行讨论，争取在“未来几个月”做出最终投资决定。第二季度净收入为24.09亿美元的帝国石油，将使用空气产品公司的低碳氢在斯特拉斯科纳生产可再生柴油，与传统生产相比，大幅减少温室气体排放。

氢气和生物原料将与专有催化剂相结合，生产优质低碳柴油燃料。

空气产品公司的额外投资将用于促进与Imperial的拟议项目的整合，该项目预计将使空气产品公司整体综合体的排放量进一步大幅减少?？掌饭窘猄trathcona提供来自日产1.65亿标准立方尺的制氢综合设施大约50%产量的低碳氢。

空气产品公司首席运营官Samir J. Serhan博士表示，对低碳氢的需求很大，空气产品公司已准备好通过艾伯塔省蓝色氢中心满足需求。

Imperial Oil signs deal with Air Products to supply low-carbon hydrogen

Imperial Oil has announced a long-term contract with Air Products which will supply low-carbon hydrogen for its proposed renewable diesel complex at its Strathcona refinery near Edmonton, Alberta, said the company.

Air Products will provide pipeline supply from its hydrogen plant under construction in Edmonton and increasing overall investment in the facility to CAD$1.6bn to support the contract. Jon Wetmore, Imperial’s Vice President of Downstream, said, “Our agreement with Air Products is an important milestone as we progress plans to build the largest renewable diesel manufacturing facility in Canada. This project highlights Imperial’s commitment to investing in a lower carbon future.”

He said it will continue to hold discussions with business partners and governments as it works toward a final investment decision “in the months ahead”. Imperial, which recorded net income of USD2,409m in the second quarter, will use Air Products’ low-carbon hydrogen to produce renewable diesel at Strathcona that substantially reduces greenhouse gas emissions relative to conventional production.

The hydrogen and biofeedstock will be combined with a proprietary catalyst to produce premium low-carbon diesel fuel.

The additional investment by Air Products will be used to facilitate integration with Imperial’s proposed project that is expected to enable further significant emissions reductions at Air Products’ overall complex. Air Products will supply Strathcona with approximately 50% of the low-carbon hydrogen output from the 165m standard cubic feet per day hydrogen production complex.

Dr. Samir J. Serhan, Chief Operating Officer at Air Products, said there is significant demand for low-carbon hydrogen, and Air Products is ready to meet it from the Alberta Blue Hydrogen Hub.
