据世界石油 2月25日消息称，Energean Plc向希腊政府提交了一份提议，计划在希腊北部靠近其旧普里诺斯油田的地方建造一座二氧化碳储存设施和一座氢气工厂。
该公司首席执行官Matthaios Rigas在周三的一次会议上表示，该项目将是地中海地区的首个此类项目，但没有提供更多细节。据一位不愿透露姓名的知情人士透露，该项目的资本支出接近5亿美元，如果获得批准，该项目将由欧盟的复苏和恢复基金提供资金。
在伦敦上市的Energean拒绝提供进一步的细节。
希腊将从该基金获得320亿欧元(390亿美元)，旨在帮助成员国克服冠状病毒大流行的影响。
这位知情人士说，希腊每年产生约6,000万吨二氧化碳，因此该项目将帮助该国减少约250万吨的排放量，即4%，如果该项目扩大，未来还可能进一步减少排放量。
Energean计划在普里诺斯附近的卡瓦拉现有的西格玛陆上工厂内建造一个小型蓝氢工厂。蓝氢是指将天然气转化为氢气和二氧化碳。
相比之下，欧盟、各国政府和公用事业公司正在投入数十亿美元研究和生产绿氢，绿氢利用可再生能源生产清洁的燃烧燃料。
这位知情人士说，Energean的蓝氢工厂的碳捕获系统将捕获99.3%的排放。

Energean proposes $500MM carbon storage facility in northern Greece
Energean Plc submitted a proposal to the Greek government to build a carbon dioxide storage facility and a hydrogen plant in northern Greece close to its old Prinos oil field.
The project would be the first of its kind in the Mediterranean, Chief Executive Officer Matthaios Rigas said at a conference Wednesday, without providing further details. Capital expenditure for the project is close to $500 million and, if approved, the project will be funded by the European Union’s recovery and resilience facility, a person familiar with the plan said, asking not to be identified as the details are private.
Energean, listed in London, declined to provide further details.
Greece is set to receive 32 billion euros ($39 billion) from the fund designed to help member states overcome the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
Greece produces around 60 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, so the project would help the country reduce its emissions by around 2.5 million tons, or by 4%, with further reductions possible in the future if the project is extended, the person said.
Energean plans to build the small-scale blue hydrogen plant within its existing Sigma onshore site at Kavala, near Prinos. Blue hydrogen refers to the conversion of natural gas into hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
By contrast, the European Union, national governments and utilities are plowing many billions into researching and producing green hydrogen, which uses renewable energy to make the clean burning fuel.
The carbon capture system at Energean’s blue hydrogen plant would trap 99.3% of the emissions, the person said.?
