HyNet (Offshore) - Hydrogen and CCS

HyNet是英国最先进、低风险、最具成本效益的全链氢气和CCUS工业脱碳项目之一，可以在2030年前将英国西北部地区转变为世界上第一个低碳产业集群。英国已通过立法，将在2050年前实现净零排放。在电力去碳化方面取得了重大进展。然而，在工业、热力和重型运输等经济领域的脱碳方面进展甚微。西北地区是英国最大、能源密集度最高的工业集群之一，包括威尔士东北部、柴郡、沃灵顿、利物浦城区和大曼彻斯特的部分地区。HyNet是400万人口的家园，每年产生600万吨二氧化碳排放。HyNet于2016年构思，目标是将整个产业集群脱碳至净零，直接与产业集群使命保持一致。虽然工业脱碳是支柱，但该项目为全面的区域氢气经济建立了基础设施支柱，并利用机会为未来的CCUS服务，为Ayr点和利物浦湾的现有石油和天然气设施提供服务。HYNet集中在埃尔斯米尔港和朗科恩之间的工业综合体中。斯坦洛炼油厂将建造大量低碳氢气生产设施，为各种用途提供氢气。一个专用的网络将把氢气从生产输送到需求点和氢气储存资产。HyNet CCUS网络将提供基础设施，以运输和存储作为制氢过程的副产品产生的二氧化碳，以及来自英国一些最大的工业排放者的二氧化碳，包括位于该集群的Stanlow炼油厂、Ince化肥厂和Padeswood水泥厂。HyNet的创新和独特之处在于：*提供包括生产、分销和存储在内的全链条氢气项目，以实现工业的脱碳，并为跨部门脱碳提供基础设施；*调整利物浦湾现有石油和天然气资产的用途，用于二氧化碳运输和储存，以最大限度地减少项目成本和风险。在迄今为止的广泛发展之后，这项赠款基金提案中描述的活动将使HyNet进入工程和同意活动的发展计划，该计划将根据适当的商业模式和商业协议提供最终投资决策(FID)准备好的项目。

HyNet is one of the most advanced, low risk and cost-effective full chain hydrogen and CCUS industrial decarbonisation projects in the UK, which can transform the North West of the UK into the world's first low carbon industrial cluster by 2030\.The UK has passed legislation to deliver Net Zero emissions by 2050\. Significant progress has been made in the decarbonisation of power. However, little progress has been made in the decarbonisation of the 'hard to reach' sectors of the economy including industry, heat and heavy transport.The North West is one of the largest and most energy intensive industrial clusters in the UK, encompassing parts of North East Wales, Cheshire, Warrington, Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester. It is home to 4 million people and generates annual industrial emissions of 6 million tonnes of CO2\.HyNet was conceived in 2016 with the objective of decarbonising the entire industrial cluster to Net Zero, directly aligning with the Industrial Clusters Mission. While industrial decarbonisation is the anchor, the project builds the infrastructure backbone for a full regional hydrogen economy, and leverages the opportunity to repurpose for future CCUS service the existing oil and gas facilities at Point of Ayr and offshore in Liverpool Bay. CO2 storage is provided in depleted and well known gas fields.HyNet is centred in the industrial complex between Ellesmere Port and Runcorn. Bulk low carbon hydrogen production facilities will be constructed at Stanlow Refinery, providing hydrogen for various uses. A dedicated network will transport hydrogen from production to demand points and hydrogen storage assets. The HyNet CCUS network will provide the infrastructure to transport and store the CO2 produced as a by-product of the hydrogen production process and CO2 from a number of the UK's largest industrial emitters, including Stanlow Refinery, Ince Fertiliser plant and Padeswood Cement plant located in this cluster.HyNet is innovative and unique in that it:* Delivers a full-chain hydrogen project, including production, distribution and storage, to decarbonise industry and to provide an infrastructure for cross-sectoral decarbonisation;* Repurposes existing oil and gas assets in Liverpool Bay for CO2 transport and storage to minimise project cost and risk.Following extensive development to date, the activities described in this grant fund proposal will allow HyNet to enter a development programme of engineering and consenting activities which will deliver a Final Investment Decision (FID) ready project, subject to appropriate business models and commercial agreements.
