Enegix將投資54億美元建設(shè)綠色氫工廠

據(jù)3月1日Trade Arabia消息：Enegix能源公司與巴西東北部塞阿拉州政府合作，宣布了一項Base Green綠色氫項目，投資額為54億美元。

根據(jù)與州長卡米洛·桑塔納簽署的諒解備忘錄的條款，Enegix將建立世界上最大的綠色氫氣工廠，通過與Enerwind的合作，該工廠將每年生產(chǎn)超過6億公斤的綠色氫，此前已承包了3.4吉瓦的基本負荷風能和太陽能。

第一基地將在塞阿拉州建立，將為Enegix的可再生氫生產(chǎn)提供戰(zhàn)略位置，并可通過海運直接進入所有主要國際市場。佩克姆港是世界一流的深海港口，擁有500公頃的商業(yè)用地，該港口擁有完善的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和所需水量，以使電解過程分離氫和氧元素。

Enegix計劃的新一代設(shè)施將完全使用零排放的可再生能源運行，并將利用塞阿拉擁有的巨大可再生能源潛力，實現(xiàn)太陽能、陸上和海上風力發(fā)電，從而使Base One擴展到100吉瓦以上以滿足全球需求。

“我們與塞阿拉州政府的合作關(guān)系是該公司的重要里程碑。 Base One將把塞阿拉州轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橹饕臍錃獬隹诘?，并將Enegix建立成為一個全球可再生能源生產(chǎn)商，該合作與我們的愿景和戰(zhàn)略相符合，以可再生、基載和低成本的零碳電網(wǎng)取代昂貴、高排放的電網(wǎng)。通過這一伙伴關(guān)系，我們計劃為世界快速增長的人口創(chuàng)造一種新的可持續(xù)能源模式，同時減少對柴油等高碳排放燃料的依賴，并降低終端用戶的成本?！眲?chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官韋斯利·庫克表示。

在建設(shè)階段，Enegix的Base One設(shè)施將創(chuàng)造數(shù)千個工作崗位，并將雇傭數(shù)百名全職運營人員來管理設(shè)施，這對當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)和國家具有深遠的積極社會效益。

計劃中的新一代設(shè)施將完全使用零排放的可再生能源運行。

目前，人類每年向大氣中排放500億噸二氧化碳，自1990年以來增長了40%，這是非常驚人的數(shù)據(jù)。新一代設(shè)施有可能每年減少1000萬噸二氧化碳排放量，并將成為世界上最大的碳減排項目。

“對于我們來說，氫代表了我們未來生活的一種新方式。以新的能源為生活供電，又不會污染和破壞我們要保護的家園。它是新能源平等革命的催化劑，使人們有機會永久使用這項技術(shù)來解決數(shù)十億無法獲得基本能源的人的困境；我們必須采取主動行動并建立氫經(jīng)濟，以使每個人都可以從中受益?！睅炜苏f。

該項目預計需要3-4年才能完成。 Enegix與一家領(lǐng)先的國際工程公司和技術(shù)顧問簽署了一項諒解備忘錄，以進行可行性研究，并將很快獲得環(huán)境和社會許可證。目前，Enegix正在尋求與投資者建立合作伙伴關(guān)系，并正在進行一輪公開融資。

Enegix to build $5.4 billion green hydrogen facility

Enegix Energy has unveiled the Base One green hydrogen project in cooperation with the State Government of Ceará, northeast of Brazil, an investment of $5.4 billion.

Under the terms of the MoU signed with the state governor Camilo Santana, Enegix will set up the world’s largest green hydrogen plant that will produce over 600 million kg of green hydrogen per year from already contracted 3.4GW of combined baseload wind and solar power through a partnership with Enerwind.

Base One will be established in the state of Ceará and will provide a strategic location for Enegix’s renewable hydrogen production with direct access to all major international markets via ocean freight. 500 hectares of commercial land has been scoped in the Port of Pecém, a world-class deepsea port with established infrastructure and access to the required quantities of water - to enable the electrolysis process to separate hydrogen and oxygen elements.

Enegix’s planned next-generation facility will be run completely using renewable energy with zero emissions and will harness the great renewable energy potential that Ceará has available with solar and onshore and offshore wind to be realised allowing Base One to be expanded to over 100GW to meet global demand.

“Our partnership with the Ceará State Government is a major milestone for the company. Base One will turn Ceará into a major hydrogen export location and establish Enegix as a global renewable power producer aligning with our vision and strategy to replace expensive, high emission power grids with renewable, baseload, and cost-effective zero-carbon grids. Through this partnership, we plan to create a new model of sustainable energy for the world’s fast-growing population while reducing dependency and cutting end-user costs on high carbon-emitting fuel sources like diesel,” said Wesley Cooke, Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Enegix’s Base One facility will create thousands of jobs during the construction phase and will allow for the employment of hundreds of full-time operational staff to manage the facility, with far-reaching, positive social benefits to the local community and the state.

The planned next-generation facility will be run completely using renewable energy with zero emissions.

Currently, humans emit 50 billion tonnes of CO2e annually into the atmosphere, a staggering figure that is up 40 per cent since 1990. Base One has the potential to reduce annual CO2e emissions by 10 million tons per year and would become the single largest carbon emission reduction project in the world.

“For us, hydrogen represents a version of the future we aspire to. A new way to power our lives without polluting and destroying what matters most, our home, the one we all share and must protect. It’s the catalyst for a new energy equality revolution that affords the chance to use this technology for good to address the plight of the billions of people without access to the basics; electricity, water and food who when left behind remain powerless to change their circumstances. A hydrogen economy is possible now, we must take the initiative and build it so that everyone can benefit from the universe's most abundant element,” said Cooke.

The project is expected to take 3-4 years to build. Enegix has signed a MoU with a leading international engineering firm and technical consultant to undertake a feasibility study, and will soon start the process of obtaining environmental and social licenses. Currently, Enegix is seeking partnerships with investors and is running an open capital round.
