據能源之聲網站9月8日報道 一項新的研究顯示，綠色氫能項目，包括在英國東北部的一些項目，可以為英國經濟帶來3200億英鎊的收入，到2050年可以維持多達12萬個就業崗位。

海上風能產業委員會（OWIC）與英國國家海上可再生能源推進中心（ORE Catapult）合作，今天發布了一份新報告，概述了“超級燃料”在降低碳排放方面的作用。

報告聲稱氫有潛力提供靈活性和安全性，以將高比例的海上風電納入英國能源系統。

報告提出了建立一個國家氫能網絡，并指出了一些可能對其發展至關重要的地區，其中提到的阿伯丁是由于其現有的發展和港口基礎設施。

題為《海上風能和氫氣：解決一體化挑戰》的報告聲稱，英國擁有合適水平的海上風力發電能力，以及強大的工業基礎和世界領先的學術研究，以發展可持續、低成本的綠色氫產業。

同時還概述了開發氫應用的重大正在進行的舉措，包括彼得黑德附近圣弗格斯碼頭的Acorn項目和阿伯丁附近計劃的Dolphyn海上風電項目。

為了利用這一機會，OWIC和ORE Catapult呼吁各國政府制定新的“國家戰略”，以創造新行業的供需。

Green hydrogen projects could be worth ￡320bn and support thousands of jobs by 2050

Green hydrogen projects, including a number in the north-east, could generate ￡320 billion for the UK economy and sustain up to 120,000 jobs by 2050, according to a new study.

The Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC), in partnership with the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, has released a new report today outlining the role the superfuel can play in driving down carbon emissions.

It claims that hydrogen has the potential to provide the flexibility and security needed to integrate high percentages of offshore wind into the UK energy system.

The report makes the case for creating a national hydrogen network and pinpoints a number of regions that could be crucial in its development, with Aberdeen among those mentioned due to its existing developments and port infrastructure.

Entitled Offshore Wind and Hydrogen: Solving the Integration Challenge, is claims the UK has the right level of offshore wind capacity, as well a strong industrial base and world-leading academic research, to develop a sustainable, low-cost green hydrogen industry.

It also gives an overview of significant ongoing initiatives to develop applications of hydrogen, including the Acorn project at the St Fergus Terminal near Peterhead and the planned Dolphyn offshore wind project near Aberdeen.

In order to capitalise on this opportunity, OWIC and ORE Catapult are calling on governments to draw up a new “national strategy” to generate supply and demand in the new industry.
