I-Sinopec News Network ibike ngo-Juni 28 ukuba emva kokuba uNobhala wezoRhwebo waseBrithani u-Kwasi Kwarteng evakashele e-Oslo, inkampani yaseNorway yeoli kunye negesi yegesi i-Equinor yathi ngoLwesibili iphakamise injongo yayo yokuvelisa i-hydrogen e-UK ukuya kwi-1.8 GW (GW).

U-Equinor uthe uceba ukongeza i-1.2 GW ye-low-carbon hydrogen production capacity, ngokukodwa ukubonelela i-Keadby hydrogen. Esi sisiziko samandla se-hydrogen sokuqala esikhulu ehlabathini esiphuhliswe ngokudibeneyo yi-Equinor kunye nenkampani eluncedo yaseBritane i-SSE.

Yongeze ukuba, ilinde inkxaso karhulumente wase-Bhritane, isityalo sinokuqalisa ukusebenza ngaphambi kokuphela kweshumi leminyaka.

I-CEO ye-Equinor u-Anders Opedal uthe iprojekthi yenkampani iya kunceda i-UK ifezekise iinjongo zayo zemozulu. Uye kwintlanganiso kunye noKwarteng kunye noMphathiswa waseNorway wePetroleum kunye namandla uTina Bru.

U-Opedal uthe kwisiteyitimenti: "Iiprojekthi zethu ezinekhabhoni ephantsi e-UK zakhiwe kumava ethu oshishino kwaye ziya kudlala indima ebalulekileyo kwindawo ephambili entliziyweni yeshishini lase-UK."

Injongo ye-UK kukuphumeza i-net zero ekhutshwayo yekhabhoni ngo-2050 kunye ne-5 GW yomthamo wokuvelisa i-hydrogen ecocekileyo ngo-2030, kwaye ibonelela ngenkxaso yemali kwiiprojekthi ezithile ze-decarbonization.

I-Equinor icwangcise ukwakha isityalo se-0.6 GW kumntla-mpuma weNgilani ukuvelisa into ebizwa ngokuba yi-hydrogen "blue" evela kwigesi yendalo ngelixa ibamba ukukhutshwa kwe-carbon dioxide (CO2) ehambelanayo.

Inkampani iphinda ibandakanyeke kwiprojekthi yokuphuhlisa i-carbon dioxide transportation kunye neziseko zokugcina izinto kummandla.

Ukuveliswa kwe-hydrogen emanzini ngokusebenzisa umbane ohlaziyekayo okanye ukudibanisa i-carbon kunye nokugcinwa kwekhabhoni (CCS) ukuvelisa i-hydrogen kwi-gesi yendalo kuthathwa njengento ebalulekileyo kwi-decarbonization yamashishini afana nentsimbi kunye neekhemikhali.

Kule mihla, inkoliso yehydrogen iveliswa kwigesi yendalo, ize ikharbon diokside enxulumene nayo ikhutshelwe emoyeni.
