HyNet (Onshore) - Hydrogen and CCS

HyNet是英国最先进、低风险、低成本的全链氢和CCUS工业脱碳项目之一，到2030年，它可以将英国西北部转变为世界上第一个低碳产业集群。英国已通过立法，到2050年实现净零排放。在电力脱碳方面取得了重大进展。然而，在工业、供热和重型运输等“难以触及”的经济部门的脱碳方面，进展不大。西北地区是英国最大和能源密集型产业集群之一，包括东北威尔士、柴郡、沃灵顿、利物浦城市地区和大曼彻斯特的部分地区。它是400万人口的家园，每年产生600万吨二氧化碳的工业排放。HyNet构想于2016年，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，但该项目为完整的区域氢经济建立了基础设施支柱。HyNet以埃尔斯米尔港和伦康之间的工业园区为中心。斯坦洛炼油厂将建造大量低碳氢气生产设施，为工业燃料转换、混入当地天然气网络、运输和灵活发电提供氢气。一个专门的网络将把氢气从生产输送到需求点和柴郡盐田的氢气储存资产，以实现供需平衡。HyNet CCUS网络将提供基础设施，以运输和储存氢气生产过程和特定工业来源产生的副产品二氧化碳，这些二氧化碳不能通过燃料转换来减轻。一些英国最大的工业排放者，包括位于该集群的Stanlow炼油厂，Ince化肥厂和Padeswood水泥厂，将连接到CCUS网络。HyNet的创新和独特之处在于：*提供全链氢项目，包括生产、分销和储存，以使工业脱碳，并为跨部门脱碳提供基础设施；*重新利用利物浦湾现有的石油和天然气资产进行二氧化碳运输和储存，以尽量降低项目成本和风险。经过迄今为止的广泛开发，下一阶段将进行的活动将使HyNet进入工程和许可活动的开发计划，从而为最终投资决策提供项目准备。

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, less 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.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 industrial fuel switching, blending into the local gas network, transport and flexible power generation. A dedicated network will transport hydrogen from production to demand points and hydrogen storage assets in the Cheshire salt fields to enable supply and demand balancing. 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 specific industrial sources that cannot be mitigated by fuel switching. A number of the UK's largest industrial emitters, including Stanlow Refinery, Ince Fertiliser plant and Padeswood Cement plant located in this cluster, will connect to the CCUS network.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 to be undertaken in this next stage will allow HyNet to enter a development programme of engineering and consenting activities which will deliver a project ready for the final investment decision.
