Refuelling the Humber Refinery

“为亨伯炼油厂加油”将为菲利普斯66号工业燃烧加热器的深度脱碳铺平道路，同时展示氢对工业燃料转换的重要性，作为英国净零未来的一部分。亨伯地区作为英国排放量最大的工业集群（1240万吨二氧化碳/年），具有重要的战略意义。该地区的脱碳对于实现英国2050年净零排放目标，同时保留英国的工业资产基础至关重要。在该地区，菲利普斯66亨伯炼油厂是世界级的资产，为1000多人提供就业机会，每年为地区经济贡献1亿英镑。这项可行性研究将探索炼油厂工业燃烧加热器的燃料转换，用可再生能源和低碳氢取代炼油厂燃料气。该项目支持Phillips 66的长期“未来炼油厂”愿景，该愿景涉及炼油厂的深度脱碳和英国电动汽车电池供应链的发展。Phillips 66参与了工业战略挑战基金的第一阶段，确定了一组工业燃烧加热器，由于其分散的位置和不同的容量，这些加热器无法通过燃烧后的碳捕获实现脱碳。相反，需要将燃料转换为氢（可再生和低碳）来使这些加热器脱碳，从而有可能减少高达400千吨二氧化碳/年的现场排放。Phillips 66将探索以下内容：*在燃料转换前后，对加热器内的热量和气体扩散进行建模*在供应商设施进行燃烧器测试，以证明氢气燃烧能力并确定对火焰模式和排放的影响*提供氢气供应管道和相关设备转换所需的初步设计和成本估算。*展示对区域氢供应项目的大量氢需求，Humber Zero和Gigastack，预计将创建明汉氢中心。这将增加他们在整个20世纪20年代的商业案例和部署路线图的确定性。*扩大使用高比例氢气为燃烧加热器加油的证据基础。这些活动将证明该技术的商业和技术可行性。

"Refuelling the Humber Refinery" will pave the way to deep decarbonisation of Phillips 66's industrial fired heaters, while demonstrating the importance of hydrogen for industrial fuel switching as part of the UK's Net Zero future.The Humber Region is strategically important as the UK's largest industrial cluster by emissions (12.4MTCO2/yr). Decarbonisation of this region is crucial for achieving the UK's Net Zero 2050 target while retaining the UK's industrial asset base. Within the region, the Phillips 66 Humber Refinery is a world-class asset, providing jobs to more than a thousand people and contributing £100M per year to the regional economy.This Feasibility Study will explore fuel switching in the refinery's industrial fired heaters, displacing refinery fuel gas with both renewable and low-carbon hydrogen. This project supports Phillips 66's long-term "Refinery of the Future" vision which involves deep decarbonisation of the refinery and development of a UK electric vehicle battery supply chain.Phillips 66's involvement in Phase 1 of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund identified a group of industrial fired heaters that cannot be practically decarbonised with post-combustion carbon capture, due to their dispersed locations and variable capacities. Instead, fuel switching to hydrogen (renewable and low-carbon) is needed to decarbonise these heaters with the potential to reduce onsite emissions by up to 400kTCO2/yr.Phillips 66 will explore the following:* Modelling of the heat and gas dispersion within the heaters, both before and after fuel switching* Burner testing at the vendor facilities to prove hydrogen firing capability and determine the impact on flame pattern and emissions* Provide preliminary design and cost estimates for the hydrogen supply pipework and associated equipment conversion needed, plus business case evaluation* Demonstrate a large-hydrogen demand to the regional hydrogen supply projects, Humber Zero and Gigastack, that are expected to create the Immingham Hydrogen Hub. This will increase the certainty of their business cases and deployment roadmaps throughout the 2020s* Expand the evidence base for refuelling fired heaters with a high fraction of hydrogenThese activities will prove both the commercial and technical viability of the technology.
