据2月24日今日油价报道，法国石油巨头道达尔公司董事长兼首席执行官帕特里克 波漾（Patrick Pouyanné）表示，道达尔希望有朝一日成为清洁氢气的大型生产商。
该石油巨头重申了远大的雄心即成为一家广泛的能源公司，而不仅仅是石油和天然气：“我们对氢有着巨大的兴趣……我们希望成为清洁氢能的大型生产商。”
波漾表示，在降低清洁氢的成本和使其具有商业可行性方面存在挑战，但他指出，液化天然气(LNG)在成为今天的主要工业和贸易商品之前，几十年前的起步也很缓慢。
今年年初，道达尔和能源供应商Engie申请了补贴，如果获得补贴，将能够在法国建造最大的绿色氢设施，该设施将只使用太阳能生产氢气。道达尔和Engie签署了一项合作协议，设计、开发、建造和运营法国最大的可再生氢生产基地，该基地将位于法国南部，将满足道达尔的La Mède生物炼油厂的需求。
道达尔是最新一家正在加大努力发展绿色氢经济的石油巨头，同时，该公司正押注于将其液化天然气和可再生能源业务的盈利增长作为其新战略和净零战略的一部分。
壳牌也在开发几个可再生氢生产项目，包括到2040年在荷兰建造欧洲最大的绿色氢项目NortH2。
去年11月，英国石油公司与海上风能巨头?rsted建立了合作关系，为在德国开发了一个用于绿色氢气生产的工业规模电解槽项目。意大利石油和天然气巨头埃尼集团(Eni)和公用事业巨头Enel去年12月宣布，他们将共同开发绿色氢项目。
去年年底，英国和苏格兰当局宣布，他们将资助世界上第一个用绿色氢供暖的试点项目。

Oil Major Total Makes Big Bet On Green Hydrogen
French supermajor Total looks to become a large producer of clean hydrogen one day, chairman and chief executive Patrick Pouyanné said on Tuesday during the virtual IP Week conference run by the Energy Institute.
“We have huge interest in hydrogen... We want to be a large producer at scale of clean hydrogen,” the top executive of one of the biggest oil and gas companies in the world said, reiterating the firm’s ambition to become a broad energy company that is not just pumping oil and gas.
There are challenges in lowering the cost of clean hydrogen and making it commercially viable, Pouyanné said, but noted that liquefied natural gas (LNG) was also slow to take off decades ago before becoming a major industry and trade commodity today.
Earlier this year, Total and energy provider Engie applied for subsidies which, if obtained, would allow them to build the largest green hydrogen facility in France that will use only solar power to produce hydrogen. Total and Engie have signed a cooperation agreement to design, develop, build, and operate France’s largest renewable hydrogen production site, which will be located in southern France and will meet the needs of Total’s La Mède bio-refinery.
Total is the latest oil major that is stepping up efforts to develop a green hydrogen economy, while it is betting on profitably growing its LNG and renewable businesses as part of its new strategy and net-zero agenda.
Shell is also developing several projects for renewable hydrogen production, including a plan to build the largest European green hydrogen project in the Netherlands by 2040, NortH2.
Last November, BP created a partnership with offshore wind giant ?rsted to develop an industrial-scale electrolyzer project for green hydrogen ?production in Germany. Italy’s oil and gas major Eni and utility giant Enel announced in December they would work together to develop green hydrogen projects.
At the end of last year, the UK and Scottish authorities announced they would fund the world’s first pilot project for heating homes with green hydrogen.
