西门子与壳牌签署谅解备忘录以推进低碳及高效能源解决方案

据烃加工网9月15日报道，西门子智能基础设施公司（Siemens Smart Infrastructure）与壳牌全球解决方案国际公司签署谅解备忘录，以合作开发低碳和高效的能源解决方案，支持能源转型。该协议将重点关注为壳牌及其客户的工业应用生产绿色氢的项目，以及加强在生物燃料和循环化学领域的合作。根据该谅解备忘录，西门子和壳牌将创建提高能源效率和产生可持续电力的解决方案，包括但不限于数字化、高效网络以及绿色氢的生产、分销和应用。与西门子电气化和自动化业务部门签署的合作伙伴关系有可能加强双方的协同效应。西门子打算与壳牌合作，加速壳牌向净零运营的过渡，而壳牌则寻求向西门子及其附属公司提供低碳产品，在整个供应链、西门子的运营和西门子产品的使用阶段减少排放，包括但不限于生物燃料的供应。

西门子智能基础设施电气化和自动化首席执行官Stephan May表示，西门子致力于将电气化与化石燃料资源脱钩。合作伙伴关系是推动这一努力和向可持续能源供应过渡的关键。与壳牌的合作完全符合西门子实现世界电气化的愿景，同时帮助工业和基础设施客户减少碳足迹，实现可持续发展目标。

十多年来，西门子一直是壳牌的电气设备（开关设备、泵、变压器、电气Scada）供应商。在过去的几年中，该公司已发展成为一家合作解决方案供应商，涵盖了其电气化和自动化产品组合的所有范围，并通过联合行业计划33（JIP33）设备标准化（一套针对石油和天然气行业的标准化行业采购规范）进一步加强。壳牌非常重视与西门子的关系，这为加快能源转型铺平了道路。

壳牌工程与项目能力高级副总裁Graham Henley表示，与合作伙伴的深入合作对于未来提供低碳能源解决方案至关重要。在我们与西门子现有关系的基础上，我希望这份谅解备忘录能够使我们的团队更加紧密地合作。西门子在电气化和自动化领域的广泛专业知识，加上壳牌在能源转型方面的工程和项目交付能力和雄心，将证明这是一个强大的组合。

该谅解备忘录源于这种关系以及两者自2010年以来在多个项目上的合作。推进绿色氢能的关键里程碑之一是最近宣布在鹿特丹Maasvlakte建设壳牌的荷兰氢 1 (HH1) 项目。日产能为200兆瓦和60吨氢气的HH1项目，计划成为世界上最大的绿色氢气生产工厂之一，也是欧洲最大的。作为配电和变电站自动化供应商，西门子的电气化和自动化业务在项目的规划、建设和执行中发挥着重要作用。其还将通过一份服务合同参与该工厂的运营，该工厂计划于2025年投产。该工厂将利用北海风力涡轮机产生的电力生产氢气。

西门子和壳牌在这一大型项目中采用了协作和灵活的方式。每天的密切协商和决策有助于将配电系统设计的开发时间缩短近一半，从18个月缩短至9个月。

Siemens and Shell sign MoU to advance low-carbon, highly efficient energy solutions

Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Shell Global Solutions International BV have signed an MoU to collaborate on developing low-carbon and highly efficient energy solutions that support the energy transition. The agreement will focus on projects that produce green hydrogen for industrial applications at Shell and its customers, as well as enhancing collaboration in the areas of biofuels and circular chemistry. Under the MoU, Siemens and Shell will create solutions that increase energy efficiency and generate sustainable power, consisting of, but not limited to, digitalization, efficient networks, and the production, distribution, and application of green hydrogen. The partnership, inked with Siemens’ Electrification and Automation business unit, has the potential to strengthen synergies for both parties. While Siemens intends to work with Shell to accelerate the latter’s transition towards net-zero operations, Shell seeks to supply Siemens and its affiliates with low carbon products that reduce emissions across the supply chain, in Siemens’ operations, and in the use phase of Siemens products, consisting of but not limited to supply of biofuels.

“Siemens is committed to decoupling electrification from fossil fuel resources. Partnerships are key to driving this effort and transitioning towards sustainable energy supplies,” said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification and Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “The partnership with Shell fits perfectly with Siemens’ vision of electrifying the world, while helping industry and infrastructure customers reduce their carbon footprint and achieve their sustainability goals.”

Siemens has been an electrical equipment – switchgears, pumps, transformers, electrical Scada - supplier to Shell for more than a decade. Over the past years, it has evolved into a collaborative solutions supplier, spanning the full range of its electrification and automation portfolio and further enhanced by Joint Industry Program 33 (JIP33) equipment standardization, a set of standardized industry procurement specifications for the oil and gas industry. Shell attaches great importance to the relationship with Siemens, which is paving the way to accelerating the energy transition.

“Deep collaboration with partners is essential for the delivery of low-carbon energy solutions for the future. Building on our existing relation with Siemens, I expect this MoU to enable our teams to work even closer together,” said Graham Henley, Senior Vice President Engineering & Project Capability at Shell. “Siemens’ broad range of expertise in electrification and automation, together with Shell’s engineering and project delivery capability and ambition in the energy transition will prove to be a powerful combination.”

The MoU stems from this relationship and from working together on several projects since 2010. One of the key milestones advancing green hydrogen is the recently announced construction of Shell’s Holland Hydrogen 1 (HH1) project on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam. With a capacity of 200 megawatts and 60 tons of hydrogen per day, HH1 is planned to be one of the largest green hydrogen production plants in the world and the biggest in Europe. Siemens’ Electrification and Automation business plays an important role in the project’s planning, construction, and execution, as the power distribution and substation automation supplier. It will also be involved in the operation of the plant, which is scheduled to go on-line in 2025, through a servicing contract. The plant will produce hydrogen using electricity generated by wind turbines in the North Sea.

Siemens and Shell have adopted a collaborative and agile way of working on this large project. Close consultation and decision-making on a daily basis have helped reduce development time – of the design of the power distribution system - by close to half, from 18 months to 9 months.
