Zero Carbon Humber Partnership

零碳亨伯合作伙伴关系（ZCH）汇集了世界领先的组织，目标是到2040年将英国碳密集度最高的地区亨伯转变为净零集群。ZCH将提供首个低碳基础设施，包括连接该地区主要排放者的二氧化碳和氢气输送管道，提供大规模脱碳的途径。该基础设施将以H2 H-Saltend项目（每年减排约100万吨）为基础，并将进一步释放私营部门对成熟深度脱碳项目的投资，从而在2040年之前实现净零排放。该基础设施可实现Uniper位于Imperial的工厂的氢气生产/二氧化碳捕获（约700万吨/年），英国钢铁公司的清洁钢生产（2- 400万吨/年），SSE Keadby-3CCGT+CCS（约200万吨/年）和Drax的CCUS生物能源（BECCS）（1600万吨/年）。这些项目将共同改变这一工业中心地带，在“能源河口”向净零过渡的过程中保护和创造就业机会。低碳基础设施的并行二氧化碳和氢气管道将使二氧化碳排放得以捕获和运输，并使最终用户的燃料转换为氢气，从而实现向低碳能源的长期可持续过渡。陆上基础设施将与“北方耐力伙伴关系（NEP）”海上项目相连，为亨伯和蒂赛德集群提供二氧化碳运输和地质储存（合计占英国工业集群排放量的50%以上（1550万吨/年））。这符合英国政府的雄心和气候变化委员会（CCC）的建议，到2030年至少有两个集群存储10 Mtpa的二氧化碳，政府的雄心是到2035年达到20 Mtpa，逐步达到2050年所需的部署水平。将启动大规模低碳氢部署。H2 H-Saltend将开发一个蓝色制氢设施（600兆瓦），为燃料转换Saltend化学品园区提供氢气，每年减少约100万吨的排放量。燃料转换将包括Triton的热电联产站，脱碳电力和蒸汽到化学园区，同时燃料转换另一个大型用户在网站上。此外，H2 H-Saltend将开发低碳氨出口产品，并对现场生产的所有其他产品进行部分脱碳。该项目将由欧洲领先的CCUS运营商Equinor和国家电网牵头。这些合作伙伴将加入先进制造研究中心，ABP，英国钢铁，Centrica Storage Limited，Drax Group，三菱电力，px limited，SSE Thermal，Saltend Cogeneration Company Limited和Uniper。ZCH的目标是在2024年3月之前做出最终投资决定，并在2026- 2027年投入运营。

The Zero Carbon Humber Partnership (ZCH) has brought together world-leading organisations with a goal to turn the Humber, the UK's most carbon-intensive region, into a net zero cluster by 2040\.ZCH will deliver first-of-a-kind low-carbon infrastructure, comprising CO2 and hydrogen transmission pipelines linking the region's major emitters, providing a pathway to deliver at-scale decarbonisation. The infrastructure will be anchored by the H2H-Saltend project (reducing emissions by ~1Mtpa) and will unlock further private sector investment in mature deep decarbonisation projects, enabling the transition to net-zero before 2040\. This infrastructure enables Hydrogen production/CO2 capture at Uniper's site in Immingham (c.7Mtpa), clean steel production at British Steel (2-4Mtpa), SSE Keadby-3CCGT+CCS (c.2Mtpa) and Bioenergy-with-CCUS (BECCS) at Drax (16Mtpa). Collectively these projects will transform this industrial heartland, safeguarding and creating jobs as the 'Energy Estuary' transitions to net-zero.The low-carbon infrastructure's parallel CO2 and H2 pipelines will enable CO2 emissions to be captured and transported and fuel-switching of end-users to hydrogen for a long-term sustainable transition to low-carbon energy. The onshore infrastructure will be linked to the 'Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP)' offshore project providing CO2 transport and geological storage for both Humber and Teesside clusters (together over 50% of UK Industrial Cluster emissions (15.5Mtpa)). This aligns with UK government's ambition and the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) recommendations, having at least two clusters storing 10Mtpa of CO2 by 2030 and Government's ambition to reach 20Mtpa by 2035 progressing towards the deployment levels required by 2050\.Anchoring the infrastructure is the H2H-Saltend project which, in-line with Government's ambitions, will kick-start large-scale low-carbon hydrogen deployment. H2H-Saltend will develop a blue hydrogen production facility (600MW), providing hydrogen to fuel-switch Saltend Chemicals Park, reducing emissions by circa 1.0Mtpa. The fuel switch will include Triton's CHP station, decarbonising power and steam to the Chemicals Park, whilst fuel-switching another large user on the site. Additionally, H2H-Saltend will develop a low-carbon ammonia export product and partially decarbonise all other products produced on-site. This will position the UK at the forefront of the expanding international low-carbon products market.The project will be led by Equinor, Europe's leading CCUS operator, and National Grid. These partners will be joined by Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, ABP, British Steel, Centrica Storage Limited, Drax Group, Mitsubishi Power, px limited, SSE Thermal, Saltend Cogeneration Company Limited and Uniper. ZCH aims to take a Final Investment Decision before March 2024, and be operational in 2026-27\.
