据氢能源新闻5月11日消息称，5月7日，美国能源开发商新堡垒能源公司宣布，计划从开发绿色氢技术转向开发蓝色氨和可再生燃料技术。
由亿万富翁Wes Edens共同创立的新堡垒能源公司，最初在美国、美洲和其它新兴市场以小型液化技术开发商的身份成立。
然而，在5月7日发布的2021年第一季度盈利报告中，新堡垒能源的高管表示，公司打算与堡垒交通和基础设施(FTAI)成立一家合资企业，该合资企业由堡垒投资集团管理，该集团与新堡垒能源是同一家母公司。
Edens在5月7日的收益报告中表示，该公司曾关注过绿色氢技术，并投资了一家以色列的电解槽公司，但他表示，“在我看来，绿色氢业务在商业上并不可行。”
他说，尽管政府支持绿色氢，这是有希望的，但新堡垒却想推行两项清洁燃料计划。
Edens表示，新堡垒的新子公司Zero Parks将专注于开发可再生燃料和蓝氨项目，这两个项目均可在未来两到三个月内做出最终投资决定（FID）。
可再生燃料项目将利用动物脂肪、废弃食用油和其他生物质的再生材料制造可再生柴油，而另一个项目将专注于蒸汽甲烷重整(SMR)和碳捕获来制造蓝色氢，而不是使用可再生能源来制造绿氢。

US developer New Fortress Energy swivels focus to blue hydrogen
US energy developer New Fortress Energy announced on 7 May it plans to pivot from developing green hydrogen technologies and instead focus solely on blue ammonia and renewable fuels technologies.
New Fortress Energy, co-founded by billionaire Wes Edens, first launched itself as a developer of small-scale liquefaction in the US, Americas and other emerging markets.
However, in a first-quarter 2021 earnings announcement on 7 May, New Fortress Energy executives said the company intends to launch a joint venture with Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure (FTAI), which is managed by Fortress Investment Group, the same parent company as New Fortress Energy.
Edens said during the 7 May earnings presentation that the company had looked at green hydrogen technologies and invested in an Israel-based electrolyzer company but said that “green hydrogen businesses, in my opinion today, are not commercially viable.”
He said that while governments are supportive of green hydrogen, which was promising, New Fortress instead wanted to pursue two initiatives for clean fuels.
New Fortress’ new subsidiary, known as Zero Parks, will focus on developing a renewable fuels and a blue ammonia project that both could make a final investment decision (FID) in the next two to three months, Edens said.
The renewable fuels project would create renewable diesel from repurposed materials such as animal fats, used cooking oil and other biomass, while the other would focus on steam methane reforming (SMR) and carbon capture to create blue hydrogen, instead of using renewable power to create green hydrogen.
