据世界天然气9月16日消息称，法国能源公司ENGIE正在开发据称是世界上第一个工业规模的可再生氢项目，该项目位于西澳大利亚州的皮尔巴拉地区。

ENGIE正在与雅拉清洁氨合作开发名为Yuri的项目，该公司已经做出了该项目的最终投资决定。

Yuri项目包括一个10兆瓦的电解厂和一个18兆瓦的太阳能光伏电场，其8兆瓦的电池储能系统为电解提供必要的能源。

该项目的第一阶段将于2024年完成，每年将生产多达640吨绿色氢气，用于现有的Yara Pilbara氨厂生产绿色氨。

根据ENGIE的说法，这将是发展“皮尔巴拉绿色氢能枢纽”、服务当地和出口市场以及利用该地区现有的出口基础设施和丰富的可再生能源资源的关键。

该项目的开发得到了澳大利亚政府ARENA可再生氢部署基金4750万美元捐赠和西澳大利亚政府可再生氢基金200万美元捐款的支持。

ENGIE还与三井签署了一项协议，根据该协议，三井同意收购Yuri项目合资公司28%的股份，但须满足协议规定的某些条件。

ENGIE and Yara pressing ahead with renewable hydrogen project in Australia

French energy player ENGIE is progressing with the development of what is said to be one of the world’s first industrial-scale renewable hydrogen projects located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (WA).

ENGIE, which is working on the project named Yuri in partnership with Yara Clean Ammonia, has taken the final investment decision (FID) in the development of the project.

The Yuri project includes a 10MW electrolysis plant and an 18 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) farm with its 8 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) providing the necessary energy for the electrolysis.

In its first phase, to be completed in 2024, the project will produce up to 640 tonnes of green hydrogen per annum for use in the existing Yara Pilbara ammonia plant to produce green ammonia.

According to ENGIE, this will be a key to developing a “Pilbara Green Hydrogen Hub”, serving local and export markets, and building on existing export infrastructure and abundant renewable energy resources in the region.

The project is being developed with the support of a $47.5 million grant from the Australian Government’s ARENA Renewable Hydrogen Deployment Fund and a $2 million grant from the Western Australian Government’s Renewable Hydrogen Fund.

ENGIE has also executed an agreement with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., pursuant to which Mitsui has agreed to acquire a 28% stake in the joint venture company for the Yuri project, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions under the agreement.
