据钻机地带8月6日消息，工程服务公司麦克德莫特(McDermott)宣布已加入一个由公共、私人和学术合作伙伴组成的联营团体，就美国能源部(DOE)项目——H2@Scale在德克萨斯州和其他地区的示范框架进行合作。
该公司表示，将为该团体综合能源基础设施能力增加额外的专业知识，并指出，这突出了麦克德莫特致力于推动氢作为低碳和可负担能源的关键驱动力。麦克德莫特强调，该项目旨在表明，可再生氢可以作为一种具有成本效益的燃料，适用于多种终端应用，并与使用氢作为清洁、可靠固定电源的大型基础负载消费者相结合。
麦克德莫特执行副总裁兼首席运营官Samik Mukherjee在公司声明中称：“麦克德莫特认识到，氢在未来的可持续能源中扮演着非常重要的角色。我们相信，我们的人才和专业知识，与我们的伙伴合作，将加速发展势头并开启将愿望变为现实的进展。”
据美国能源部网站称，H2@Scale 是能源部的一项倡议，旨在将利益相关者聚集在一起，推进可负担的氢气生产、运输、储存和利用，以实现跨多个行业的脱碳和创收机会，该网站指出，目前美国每年生产的氢气量达1000万吨。
项目伙伴关系目前专注于两个独立的计划——一个在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校，另一个在休斯顿港。首先，该大学将主办一个集商业氢生产、分配、储存和使用于一体的项目。项目合作伙伴将通过电解太阳能和风能现场生产零碳氢，并从德克萨斯州的一个垃圾填埋场改造可再生天然气。氢将为一个固定燃料电池提供动力，为德克萨斯高级计算中心提供动力，并为一个氢站提供零排放的燃料，以为燃料电池电动汽车车队供电。
在休斯顿港，项目团队将进行一项可行性研究，以扩大氢的生产和使用。该团队将评估可用资源、潜在氢用户和交付基础设施。

McDermott Joins Texas Project
McDermott International, Ltd has announced that it has joined a consortium of public, private and academic partners collaborating on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project - Demonstration and framework for H2@Scale in Texas and Beyond.
The company said its participation will add additional expertise to the team’s capabilities in the delivery of integrated energy infrastructure and noted that it underscores McDermott’s commitment in advancing hydrogen as a key driver to low carbon and affordable energy. The project intends to show that renewable hydrogen can be a cost-effective fuel for multiple end-use applications when coupled with large, baseload consumers that use hydrogen for clean, reliable stationary power, McDermott highlighted.
“McDermott recognizes that hydrogen has a very prominent role to play in the future of sustainable energy,” Samik Mukherjee, McDermott’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, said in a company statement. “We are confident that the talent and expertise of our people, in collaboration with our partners, will accelerate momentum and unlock the meaningful progress necessary to turn aspiration into reality,” he added.
H2@Scale is a DOE initiative that brings together stakeholders to advance affordable hydrogen production, transport, storage and utilization to enable decarbonization and revenue opportunities across multiple sectors, according to the DOE’s website, which notes that ten million metric tons of hydrogen are currently produced in the U.S. every year.
The project partnership is currently focusing on two separate initiatives - one at the University of Texas at Austin and another at the Port of Houston. The first will see the university host an integration of commercial hydrogen production, distribution, storage and use. Project partners will generate zero carbon hydrogen onsite via electrolysis with solar and wind power and reformation of renewable natural gas from a Texas landfill. The hydrogen will power a stationary fuel cell to provide power for the Texas Advanced Computing Center and supply a hydrogen station with zero-emission fuel to fill a fleet of fuel cell electric vehicles.
At the Port of Houston, the project team will conduct a feasibility study to scale up hydrogen production and use. The team will assess available resources, prospective hydrogen users and delivery infrastructure.
