据世界天然气网站3月2日消息 美国能源巨头埃克森美孚正计划在其位于得克萨斯州的贝敦建设一座制氢厂以及世界上最大的碳捕获和储存（CCS）之一的设施。
通过这一举措，埃克森美孚希望支持减少其运营和当地工业排放的努力。
埃克森美孚乔·布隆马特表示：“氢有可能显著减少经济中重要行业的二氧化碳排放量。通过帮助激活氢气和CCS的新市场，该项目可以在实现美国的低排放目标方面发挥重要作用。”
该氢设施每天将产生高达10亿立方英尺的蓝色氢。蓝氢是一个行业术语，指由天然气生产的氢气，由CCS支持。该项目的CCS基础设施将具备每年储存1000万吨二氧化碳的能力。因此，这将使埃克森美孚目前的产能增加一倍多。
在贝敦工厂使用氢气作为燃料可以将其直接和间接的排放量减少30%。此外，它还将支持埃克森美孚在2050年之前实现其运营资产温室气体净零排放的雄心，同时还将使该工厂能够为其客户生产低排放产品。
该项目将是埃克森美孚对建立休斯敦CCS中心的跨行业努力的初步贡献。
该公司预计在两三年内做出最终投资决定。
埃克森美孚已经可以生产大约15亿立方英尺/天的氢气，同时还拥有30多年捕获和储存二氧化碳的经验。
埃克森美孚低碳解决方案计划将低排放技术商业化，并专注于CCS、氢气和生物燃料。在未来六年里，该公司计划投资150多亿美元用于降低排放的举措。

ExxonMobil plans hydrogen and CCS facility in Texas
U.S. energy major ExxonMobil is planning a hydrogen production plant and one of the world’s largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects at its site at Baytown, Texas.
With this move, ExxonMobil wants to support efforts to reduce emissions from its operations and local industry.
“Hydrogen has the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in vital sectors of the economy,” said Joe Blommaert from ExxonMobil. “By helping to activate new markets for hydrogen and CCS, this project can play an important part in achieving America’s lower-emissions aspirations.”
The hydrogen facility would produce up to 1 billion cubic feet per day of blue hydrogen. Blue H2 is an industry term for hydrogen produced from natural gas and supported by CCS. The CCS infrastructure for this project would have the capacity to store up to 10 million metric tonnes of CO2 per year. Thus, it would more than double ExxonMobil’s current capacity.
Using H2 as a fuel at the Baytown plant could reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by up to 30 per cent. In addition, it would be supporting ExxonMobil’s ambition to achieve net-zero GHG emissions from its operated assets by 2050. It also would enable the site to manufacture lower-emissions products for its customers.
The project would be ExxonMobil’s initial contribution to a cross-industry effort to establish a Houston CCS hub.
The company expects a final investment decision in two to three years.
ExxonMobil has already produced about 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of H2. It also has more than 30 years of experience capturing and storing CO2.
ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions is to commercialise low-emission technologies and is focusing on CCS, hydrogen and biofuels. Over the next six years, the company plans to invest more than $15 billion on lower-emission initiatives.
