据世界天然气8月30日消息称，全球可持续基础设施投资者阿克蒂斯已经与埃及政府签署了一份关于绿色氢开发的谅解备忘录。
该谅解备忘录将为阿克蒂斯进入该地区可能是最大的氢市场之一提供一个切入点。埃及由于其可再生资源和接近欧洲和亚洲市场而具有比较优势。
目前，世界上几乎所有的氢都是通过化石燃料产生的，同时还会产生大量的二氧化碳。绿色氢气的优势在于，它是利用可再生电力电解水产生的，而且零排放。绿色氢的生产成本取决于两个因素：可再生能源的成本和电解设备的成本。目前，它比以化石燃料为基础的氢气生产成本更高。
然而，随着可再生电力和电解设备成本的预期下降，埃及等国正在抓住机会，成为这方面的领头羊。
阿克蒂斯中东和非洲能源合伙人兼负责人 Lisa Pinsley补充说：“我们预计绿色氢气将成为全球能源转型的关键推动者。对于工业和某些难以减排的行业，它为脱碳提供了一个优秀的、可持续的解决方案。”

Actis inks deal with Egypt for green hydrogen development
Global investor in sustainable infrastructure Actis has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Egyptian government for green hydrogen development.
The MoU will give Actis an entry point into what could be one of the largest hydrogen markets in the region. Egypt has a comparative advantage due to its renewable resources and proximity to European and Asian markets.
Currently, almost all of the world’s hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels, with a significant amount of CO2 emitted as a byproduct of the process. Green hydrogen is far superior because it is generated by electrolysing water using renewable electricity and has zero emissions. The production cost of green hydrogen depends on two factors: the cost of renewable power and the cost of the electrolysis equipment. It is currently more expensive than fossil fuel-based hydrogen production.
However, with an expected decrease in the cost of both renewable electricity and electrolysing equipment, countries such as Egypt are seizing the opportunity to lead the way.
Lisa Pinsley, partner and head of Middle East and Africa for Energy at Actis, added: “We expect green hydrogen to be a key enabler of the global energy transition. For industry and certain hard-to-abate sectors it offers an excellent and sustainable solution for decarbonisation.”
