加拿大阿尔伯塔省计划出口氢气经纬仪

据天然气加工网站10月7日消息 加拿大阿尔伯塔省总理杰森肯尼表示，到2040年，加拿大阿尔伯塔省将利用其丰富的储量，成为清洁燃料氢气的出口国。

由于旅行限制打压了对燃料的需求，疫情严重冲击了阿尔伯塔省的石油工业。然而，该省的困境可以追溯到数年前，因为油砂的高排放量使其成为环保人士的目标，并导致一些投资者、银行和保险公司切断与该行业的联系。

肯尼补充说：“氢的潜力巨大，阿尔伯塔省有可能生产世界上成本最低的氢气。随着阿尔伯塔省的能源正开始变得越来越突出，现在将阿尔伯塔省列入全球氢地图，对于我们站在未来能源变化的前沿至关重要。”

一位政府发言人表示，阿尔伯塔省将在晚些时候宣布建立氢能工业的具体行动。

加拿大政府和其他许多国家也在制定一项氢计划。

氢气将有助于实现阿尔伯塔省经济的多样化，尽管上个月一位省部长向路透社表示，其也为扩大石油和天然气产量提供了一种手段。

肯尼称，该省希望到2030年成为一个更大的石油化工产品生产和一个塑料废涂附磨具料回收中心，并在同年实现加拿大多个液化天然气出口终端的联网。

阿尔伯塔省今年秋天将接受政府拨款建设石化厂的申请。

Canadian oil and gas province Alberta aims to export hydrogen

The Canadian province of Alberta will look to use its plentiful natural gas reserves to become an exporter of hydrogen, a clean-burning fuel, by 2040, according to Premier Jason Kenney.

The pandemic has hit Alberta’s oil industry hard, as travel restrictions crushed demand for fuel. The province’s struggles date back years, however, as the oil sands’ high emissions made it a target for environme丰城ntal activists and have led to some investors, banks and insurers cutting ties with the industry.

“The potential for hydrogen is huge,” Kenney said, adding that Alberta could potentially produce among the lowest-cost hydrogen in the world. “Putting Alberta on the global hydrogen map now as this energy source is beginning to gain prominence, will be crucial for us to be at the forefront of future changes in energy.”

Alberta will announce specific actions to build a hydrogen industry later, a government spokesman said.

The Canadian government is also developing a hydrogen plan, along with many other nations.

Hydrogen would help diversify Alberta’s economy, although a provincial minister told Reuters last month that it also offered a means to expand oil and gas production.

The province wants to become a bigger producer of petrochemicals and a hub for recycling plastic waste by 2030 as well, and see several additional LNG export ter食品仪器minals online in Canada by the same year, Kenney said.
