据OE网站2月18日报道，意大利的Saipem周四表示，该公司和可再生能源公司AGNES和Qint’x已申请开发世界上最大的海上清洁能源枢纽之一的许可，以开发风电和太阳能发电并生产绿色氢。
他们在意大利港口城市拉文纳的一次发言中表示，这些公司已经同意在该城市近海建造620兆瓦的风能和太阳能发电能力，安装65台涡轮机，每台8兆瓦，并建造一个浮式的100兆瓦太阳能发电厂。意大利总理马里奥·德拉吉(MarioDraghi)已将气候变化置于他的意大利计划的核心，并表示该国政府打算促进可再生能源和绿色氢生产。
但许多公司抱怨称，意大利过于复杂的许可程序阻碍了项目的实施，并有可能使雄心勃勃的绿色能源目标无法实现。
能源服务集团Saipem及其合作伙伴表示，他们希望早在2023年就能获得开工建设Ravenna设施的许可，该设施将耗资10亿欧元(合12.1亿美元)。
一旦建成后，该枢纽每年将产生1.5太瓦时的电力，足以满足50万个家庭的需求。
这些开发商还将在陆上和海上，退役的石油和天然气钻井平台上安装电解槽，以每年生产4,000吨绿色氢，并将存储100兆瓦时的锂离子电池。
Saipem是海底勘探和建设的市场领导者，其一直将重点转向海上风能和可再生能源，以满足客户对绿色技术日益增长的需求。
该公司于2019年与总部位于阿布扎比的Plambeck Emirates签署了一项协议，旨在沙特近海岸建造一个500兆瓦的浮动风电场。
Saipem经理Francesco Balestrino表示，我们正在西西里岛和撒丁岛研究类似的项目。
与国家贷款机构CDP共同控制Saipem的意大利能源集团埃尼正计划在拉文纳建立一个碳捕集与封存中心。

Saipem, Partners to Build Huge Offshore Clean Energy Hub in Italy
Italy's Saipem and renewable energy companies AGNES and Qint’x have applied for permits to develop one of the world's biggest offshore clean energy hubs, to generate wind and solar power and produce green hydrogen, Saipem said on Thursday.
The companies have agreed to build 620 megawatts of wind and solar capacity off the coast of Italian port city Ravenna, installing 65 turbines of 8 MW each and building a floating 100 MW solar power farm, they said at a presentation in the city. Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has put climate change at the heart of his plans for Italy and has said his government intends to boost renewable energy and green hydrogen production.
But many companies have complained Italy's overly-complicated permitting process is holding back projects and threatening to make ambitious green energy targets unachievable.
Energy services group Saipem and its partners said they hoped to have clearance to begin construction of the Ravenna facility, which will cost more than 1 billion euros ($1.21 billion), by as early as 2023.
When completed the hub will generate 1.5 terawatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to meet the demand of 500,000 families.
The developers will also install electrolyzers on land and at sea, on decommissioned oil and gas rigs, to produce 4,000 tonnes of green hydrogen a year, and there will be 100 megawatt-hours of lithium-ion battery storage.
Saipem, a market leader in subsea exploration and construction, has been shifting its focus to offshore wind and renewable energy to meet growing client demand for green technologies.
It signed an agreement with Abu Dhabi-based Plambeck Emirates in 2019 to build a 500 MW floating wind farm off the cost of Saudi Arabia.
"We are studying similar projects in Sicily and Sardinia," Saipem manager Francesco Balestrino said.
Italian energy group Eni, which jointly controls Saipem with state-lender CDP, is planning a carbon capture and storage hub in Ravenna.
