據ICIS網站9月22日倫敦報道 歐洲化工巨頭英力士周二表示，從2021年1月1日開始，英力士將為其比利時的一些工廠提供風力發電。

但沒有透露財務細節。

據介紹，這項為期10年、84兆瓦的協議將使英力士生產的二氧化碳排放量減少115萬噸。

這些電能將由法國能源巨頭Engie位于北海的海上風電場發電，該風電場距離澤布呂赫海岸23公里。

英力士計劃在比利時的各個生產基地使用這些電力。

在以后的階段，其還將用于為英力士在安特衛普的項目一綜合設施供電，該項目于2018年宣布，目前正在建設中。

該項目將包括一個乙烷裂解和丙烷脫氫（PDH）裝置，用于生產乙烯和丙烯，預計資本支出為27億歐元。

項目首席執行官John McNally表示：“我們的丙烷脫氫裝置被設計成最大程度的電氣化，這使得只使用綠色電力幾乎可以消除間接排放。”

“未來幾個月，我們將繼續研究進一步擴大可再生能源利用的方案。”

INEOS signs 10-year renewable electricity deal with Engie for Belgium sites

INEOS will power some of its sites in Belgium with wind power-generated electricity supplied by Engie, starting 1 January 2021, the European chemicals major said on Tuesday.

Financial details were not disclosed.

The 10-year, 84 MW (megawatt) agreement will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced by INEOS by 1.15m tonnes, it said.

The electricity will be generated at France-headquartered energy major Engie’s offshore wind farm in the North Sea, 23 km from the coast of Zeebrugge.

INEOS plans to use the electricity at various production sites in Belgium.

At a later stage, it will also be used to power INEOS's Project ONE complex in Antwerp, which was announced in 2018 and is currently under construction.

This project will include an ethane cracker and a propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit to produce ethylene and propylene, with capital expenditure (capex) expected at €2.7bn.

“Our PDH unit has been designed with a maximum level of electrification, which makes it possible to virtually eliminate indirect emissions by using only green electricity,” said Project ONE’s CEO John McNally.

“In the coming months, we will continue to look at the options for further expanding the use of renewable energy."
