據(jù)油氣新聞1月18日消息稱，澳大利亞鐵礦石開(kāi)采商 Fortescue metals Group FMG.AX 周一表示，它打算簽署一項(xiàng)長(zhǎng)期協(xié)議，向德國(guó)化學(xué)品制造商科思創(chuàng)供應(yīng)“綠色氫”及其衍生物。

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI)在其網(wǎng)站上表示，一旦協(xié)議正式達(dá)成，該公司每年將提供相當(dāng)于10萬(wàn)噸的綠色氫氣。

FFI 首席執(zhí)行官 Julie Shuttleworth 說(shuō)：“這次合作強(qiáng)化了綠色氫是一種實(shí)用的、可實(shí)施的解決方案，適用于一系列難以脫碳的行業(yè)?！?/p>

根據(jù)該協(xié)議，從2024年起，綠色氫——一種清潔燃燒的燃料，利用可再生能源來(lái)電解水——將有可能供應(yīng)給亞洲、北美和歐洲的科思創(chuàng)。

Fortescue的目標(biāo)是到2030年實(shí)現(xiàn)碳中和。過(guò)去一年，該公司通過(guò)FFI簽署了一系列項(xiàng)目，以突顯其從一家純鐵礦石生產(chǎn)商向一家綠色能源公司轉(zhuǎn)型的努力。

FFI 預(yù)計(jì)本財(cái)政年度將花費(fèi) 4 億至 6 億美元來(lái)開(kāi)發(fā)綠色火車(chē)、卡車(chē)和航運(yùn)，以及脫碳技術(shù)。

該公司還預(yù)計(jì)到2030年將其綠色氫產(chǎn)量擴(kuò)大到每年1500萬(wàn)噸。

Australia’s Fortescue set to supply green hydrogen to Germany’s Covestro

Australian iron ore miner Fortescue metals Group FMG.AX said on Monday it intends to sign a long-term deal to supply German chemicals maker Covestro AG 1COV.DE with “green hydrogen” and its derivatives.

Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) will supply the equivalent of up to 100,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year once the deal is formalised, it said on its website.

“This collaboration reinforces that green hydrogen is a practical, implementable solution for a range of difficult-to-decarbonise industries,” FFI Chief Executive Officer Julie Shuttleworth said.

Under the deal, green hydrogen – a clean-burning fuel made by using energy from renewable sources to electrolyse water – will potentially be supplied to Covestro in Asia, North America and Europe from 2024 onwards.

Fortescue, which aims to become carbon-neutral by 2030, has signed a string of projects through FFI over the past year to underline its push to transition from a pure-play iron ore producer to a green energy firm.

FFI expects to spend between $400 million and $600 million this financial year to develop green trains, trucks and shipping, as welll as decarbonisation technologies.

It also expects to expand its green hydrogen production to 15 million tonnes per year by 2030.
