据管道油气新闻网2月8日消息：近日，西门子能源公司和液化空气集团签署了一份谅解备忘录，旨在将他们在PEM(质子交换膜)电解技术方面的专业知识结合起来。
他们打算将活动重点放在以下关键领域：与客户合作共同创建大型工业规模的氢气项目，为欧洲(尤其是德国和法国)的电解槽批量生产奠定基础，并开展研发活动以共同开发下一代电解技术。
氢将在实现欧盟减少二氧化碳和温室气体排放的目标方面发挥重要作用。为了满足快速增长的需求并降低成本，通过大型PEM电解槽加快可持续制氢速度。在合作框架下，西门子能源公司和液化空气集团将根据欧盟绿色交易和欧洲共同利益重要项目(IPCEI)--由法国和德国政府资助的氢气计划，联合申请大型项目资助。 IPCEI资金需要快速启动该项目，并满足欧洲绿色新政、欧盟氢战略以及法国和德国国家氢战略设定的挑战性时间表。
通过这项合作，西门子能源和液化空气集团将增强其核心竞争力，推动欧洲可持续氢经济发展，并与其他合作伙伴一起启动欧洲电解和氢技术生态系统。合作伙伴已经确定在法国、德国和其他欧洲国家开展大规模可持续氢项目的合作机会。机会之一是法国200兆瓦的法液空-H2V诺曼底项目，这是欧洲最雄心勃勃的可再生能源制氢项目之一。
西门子能源首席执行官Christian Bruch表示:“建立可持续的氢经济仍需要修改能源市场的框架条件。然而，只有通过合作才能塑造市场。我们非常感谢与液化空气集团共同创造新的解决方案。我们将共同克服未来的挑战，实现技术工业化，并使可持续生产氢气成为一个成功案例。”
液化空气集团董事长兼首席执行官Beno?tPotier说：“氢是能源转型的关键推动力。在欧洲氢技术和市场空前加速的背景下，现在是扩大规模的关键时机，尤其是在法国和德国。液化空气集团与西门子能源公司之间的合作为建立欧洲领先的生态系统铺平了道路，该生态系统能够以具有竞争力的价格供应脱碳氢，并促进低碳社会的出现。我们期待着法德合作。”
联邦经济部长Peter Altmaier称:“氢是德国能源转型成功的关键因素，也是欧洲和全球应对气候变化努力的关键。德国坚定地致力于支持氢技术的市场增长，并正在努力实现欧洲氢工业计划。在此背景下，非常高兴西门子能源和液化空气集团在这一领域展开合作，期待着法德两国强大的氢能项目很快上线。”

Siemens Energy and Air Liquide to partner on sustainable hydrogen production
Siemens Energy and Air Liquide have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the objective to combine their expertise in PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolysis technology.
They intend to focus their activities on these key areas: co-creation of large industrial-scale hydrogen projects in collaboration with customers, laying the ground for mass manufacturing of electrolyzers in Europe, especially in Germany and France, and R&D activities to co-develop next generation electrolyzer technologies.
Hydrogen will play an essential role to achieve the European Union’s objectives for CO2 and greenhouse gas emission reduction. In order to meet rapidly growing demand, and to lower costs, it is key to accelerate the production of sustainably generated hydrogen through large-scale PEM electrolyzers. In the framework of their cooperation Siemens Energy and Air Liquide will jointly apply for large projects funding under the EU’s Green Deal and important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI)-scheme for hydrogen, funded by the French and German Governments. The IPCEI-funding is required to fast start those activities and meet the challenging timeline set out by the European Green New Deal, the EU Hydrogen Strategy as well as the French and German National Hydrogen Strategies.
With this cooperation, Siemens Energy and Air Liquide will strengthen their core competencies enabling the emergence of a sustainable hydrogen economy in Europe and to initiate a European ecosystem for electrolysis and hydrogen technology together with other partners. The partners have already identified cooperation opportunities for large scale sustainable hydrogen projects both in France, Germany and other European countries. One of these opportunities is the Air Liquide-H2V Normandy project in France with a capacity of 200 MW, one of the most ambitious European projects for hydrogen production from renewable energies.
Christian Bruch, CEO of Siemens Energy said: “Building up a sustainable hydrogen economy will still require to amend the framework conditions in the energy market. However, it will be through partnerships and collaboration that we can shape this market. We highly appreciate to co-create innovative solutions with Air Liquide. Collectively we will overcome the challenges that lie ahead to industrialize the technology and make sustainably generated hydrogen a success story.”
Beno?t Potier, Chairman and CEO of Air Liquide, said : “Hydrogen is a key enabler of the energy transition. In the context of an unprecedented acceleration in Europe of hydrogen technologies and markets, the time to scale-up is now, notably in France and Germany. The partnership between Air Liquide and Siemens Energy paves the way for the creation of a leading European ecosystem capable of supplying decarbonised hydrogen at competitive prices and promoting the emergence of a low-carbon society. We look forward to this Franco-German cooperation.”
Federal Economy Minister Peter Altmaier: ”Hydrogen is a key element for the success of Germany’s energy transition and crucial for European and global efforts to combat climate change. Germany is strongly committed to support the market ramp up of hydrogen technologies and is working hard towards European Hydrogen IPCEIs. Against this background, I very much welcome that Siemens Energy and Air Liquide join forces in this domain and I am looking forward to seeing strong Franco-German hydrogen projects coming online soon.”
