据彭博社7月8日报道，阿布扎比正在寻求投资者帮助建设氢气出口设施，因为中东石油生产商正抓紧计划出售被视为向清洁能源过渡的关键燃料。
据知情人士透露，阿布扎比国家石油公司（Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.）正与能源公司商谈购买这些氢气项目股权的事宜。该公司在阿拉伯联合酋长国几乎提供所有的石油和天然气。他们还表示，该公司的目标是在推进投资前签订长期供应合同。
据彭博新能源财经报道称，目前氢气市场规模很小，但到2050年，氢的年价值可能高达7000亿美元。
这种燃料在燃烧时只会释放水蒸气，出口项目可能要耗资数十亿美元。但在全球大力削减温室气体排放的背景下，阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯等波斯湾国家正在寻求氢气来减少对石油的依赖。
日本、韩国交易
阿拉伯国家石油公司（Adnoc）负责人、阿联酋气候特使Sultan Al-Jaber表示，未来20年内，氢气可能成为主要能源。该公司已与日本政府和韩国GS Energy公司签署了探索燃料销售的协议。
海湾地区的国有石油公司希望将其在出口液体燃料方面的专长转化为向世界各地的客户运输氢气或氨气，用于电力、运输和工业用途。
沙特阿美的目标是从2030年起在新兴市场占有“很大份额”。
Adnoc出口的大部分可能是蓝色氢，它是通过转化天然气和捕获副产品二氧化碳而产生的。氢气可以转化成氨，更易于运输。
合成氨装置
据知情人士透露，该公司已经为其炼油厂生产氢气，将通过扩建位于Ruwais工业中心的石油加工厂和Borouge石化设施来提高产量。额外的氢气将用于与化肥公司Fertiglobe共同规划的氨设施。
阿布扎比还希望开发绿色氢气，这种氢气是使用太阳能等可再生能源生产的，在这个过程中不排放任何碳。蓝色氢气更便宜，预计会持续多年。
据彭博社上月报道，阿联酋正在考虑设定净零排放目标，目前欧佩克成员国还没有这样做。它还在寻求提高其可再生能源能力。
尽管如此，除了绿色倡议外，该国还花费了数十亿美元，以使其能够开采更多的原油。这些投资导致了与沙特阿拉伯和石油输出国组织（opec）的紧张关系，阿联酋认为其目前的石油产出配额过低。

UAE Seeks Investors and Long-Term Buyers for Blue Hydrogen
Abu Dhabi is seeking investors to help build hydrogen-export facilities, as Middle Eastern oil producers step up plans to sell what’s seen as a crucial fuel in the transition to cleaner energy.
Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., which pumps almost all the oil and natural gas in the United Arab Emirates, is in talks with energy companies about them buying equity stakes in the hydrogen projects, according to people familiar with the matter. It also aims to sign long-term supply contracts before pushing ahead with the investments, they said.
The market for hydrogen is tiny today but could be worth as much as $700 billion annually by 2050, according to BloombergNEF.
Projects to export the fuel -- which only emits water vapor when burned -- are likely to cost billions of dollars. But amid a global push to slash greenhouse-gas emissions, Persian Gulf nations such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia are looking to hydrogen to reduce their reliance on oil.
Japan, Korea Deals
Hydrogen can become a major energy source in the next 20 years, Sultan Al Jaber, head of Adnoc and the UAE’s climate envoy, has said. The company has signed agreements to explore sales of the fuel with Japan’s government and GS Energy of Korea.
State-owned oil firms in the Gulf want to turn their expertise in exporting liquid fuel into shipping hydrogen or ammonia to customers worldwide for electricity, transport and industrial use.
Saudi Aramco aims to to have a “large share” of the market that it sees emerging from 2030 onwards.
Most of what Adnoc exports is likely to be blue hydrogen, created by converting natural gas and capturing the carbon dioxide by-product. The hydrogen may be turned into ammonia to ship it more easily.
Ammonia Plant
The company, which already produces hydrogen for its refineries, will boost output by expanding an oil-processing plant and the Borouge petrochemical facility at the Ruwais industrial hub, according to the people. The extra hydrogen will be used for an ammonia facility planned with Fertiglobe, a fertilizer firm.
Abu Dhabi also wants to develop green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable energy, like solar power, in a process that doesn’t emit any carbon. Blue hydrogen is cheaper and expected to remain so for many years.
The UAE is considering setting a target for net-zero emissions, Bloomberg reported last month, something no OPEC member has done yet. It’s also looking to increase its renewable-energy capacity.
Still, alongside green initiatives the country is spending billions of dollars to enable it to pump more crude. Those investments have led to tensions with Saudi Arabia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, with the UAE arguing its current oil-output quota is too low.
