印度ReNew Power將在埃及投資80億美元新建綠氫項目

中國石化新聞網訊 據安迅思孟買11月16日消息，印度ReNew Power公司將在埃及的蘇伊士運河經濟區建設一個綠氫工廠，該項目將耗資80億美元。

ReNew Power公司在11月15日發布的一份聲明中表示，一旦投入使用，該工廠預計將生產22萬噸/年的綠氫。

中東和非洲領先的綜合能源解決方案提供商Elsewedy Electric公司將成為埃及綠氫項目的當地聯合開發商。

在項目的第一階段，將建立一個2萬噸/年的綠氫試點工廠，計劃在2026年投入使用。

第二階段將把產能提高到預計的22萬噸/年。

ReNew Power公司成立于2011年，是ReNew Energy Global的子公司。該公司網站顯示，該公司是印度最大的獨立可再生能源發電公司之一，截至2022年8月，在印度9個邦擁有超過120個風能、太陽能和水電項目。

2022年4月，印度石油公司（IOC）、ReNew Power和印度工程公司Larsen & Toubro (L&T)宣布成立一家合資公司，以開發印度的綠氫業務。

據路透社報道，埃及與ReNew Power的協議是政府于11月15日簽署的8個框架協議之一，這些協議旨在開發綠氫和綠氨項目。

在埃及沙姆沙伊赫舉行的COP27期間，各公司簽署了這些協議，項目集中在紅海港口Ain Sokhna和蘇伊士運河經濟區附近。

這些協議有望幫助埃及成為綠氫生產中心，并在2040年前贏得全球5%的市場份額。

India’s ReNew Power to build $8bn green hydrogen project in Egypt

India’s ReNew Power will build a green hydrogen plant in Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone which would cost $8bn.

once operational, the plant is expected to produce 220,000 tonnes/year of green hydrogen, ReNew said in a statement on 15 November.

Elsewedy Electric, a leading integrated energy solutions provider in the Middle East and Africa, will be the local co-developer for the project in Egypt.

In the first phase of the project, a 20,000 tonne/year green hydrogen pilot plant, along with derivatives, will be set up and is slated to be commissioned by 2026.

The second phase will raise the capacity to the expected total of 220,000 tonnes/year.

ReNew Power was set up in 2011 and is a subsidiary of ReNew Energy Global. It is one of the largest renewable energy independent power producers in India and has over 120 operational utility-scale wind, solar and hydro energy projects across nine Indian states as of August 2022, according to the company’s website.

In April 2022, IOC, ReNew Power and Indian engineering firm Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced the formation of a joint venture company to develop the green hydrogen sector in India.

Egypt’s deal with ReNew Power is one of eight framework agreements signed by the government on 15 November to develop green hydrogen and ammonia projects, according to a report by newswire agency Reuters.

The agreements with various companies were signed during the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, with projects concentrated around the Red Sea port of Ain Sokhna and the Suez Canal Economic Zone.

These agreements are expected to help Egypt become a hub of green hydrogen production and win 5% of the global market by 2040.
