I-Sinopec News Network ibike nge-28 kaJuni ukuba emva kokuba uNobhala wezoRhwebo waseBritane uKwasi Kwarteng etyelele e-Oslo, inkampani yeoyile negesi yaseNorway i-Equinor ithe ngoLwesibini inyuse umgomo wayo wokuvelisa i-hydrogen e-UK ukuya kwi-1.8 GW (GW).

I-Equinor ithe iceba ukongeza i-1.2 GW yomthamo wemveliso ye-hydrogen ekhabhoni ephantsi, ikakhulu ukuze inike i-hydrogen kaKeadby. Esi sisikhululo sokuqala esikhulu se-hydrogen esiyi-100% emhlabeni esakhiwe ngokubambisana yi-Equinor kunye nenkampani yaseBritane i-SSE.

Yongeze ngelithi, xa ilinde inkxaso karhulumente waseBritane, isityalo sisenokuqala ukusebenza ngaphambi kokuphela kweminyaka elishumi.

I-CEO ye-Equinor u-Anders Opedal uthe le projekthi yenkampani iza kunceda i-UK ukuba ifezekise iinjongo zayo zemozulu. Uye waya kwintlanganiso noKwarteng kunye noMphathiswa wePetroleum and Energy waseNorway uTina Bru.

U-Opedal uthe kwingxelo yakhe: “Iiprojekthi zethu ezisebenzisa i-carbon ephantsi e-UK zakhiwe ngamava ethu kwezoshishino kwaye ziya kudlala indima ebalulekileyo kwindawo ephambili entliziyweni yeshishini lase-UK.”

Injongo ye-UK kukufezekisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni okungenanto ngo-2050 kunye nomthamo we-5 GW wemveliso ye-hydrogen ecocekileyo ngo-2030, kwaye inika inkxaso-mali kwezinye iiprojekthi zokususa i-carbonization.

I-Equinor iceba ukwakha isityalo se-0.6 GW kumantla-mpuma eNgilani ukuvelisa oko kuthiwa yi-hydrogen “eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka” kwigesi yendalo ngelixa ibamba ukukhutshwa kwe-carbon dioxide (CO2) okunxulumene noko.

Le nkampani ikwabandakanyeka kwiprojekthi yokuphuhlisa iziseko zothutho lwekhabhoni dayoksayidi kunye nezakhiwo zokugcina izinto kulo mmandla.

Ukuveliswa kwe-hydrogen emanzini ngokusebenzisa umbane ohlaziyekayo okanye ukubanjwa kunye nokugcinwa kwekhabhoni edibeneyo (CCS) ukuvelisa i-hydrogen kwigesi yendalo kuthathwa njengento ebalulekileyo ekususeni i-carbonization kumashishini afana nentsimbi kunye neekhemikhali.

Kule mihla, uninzi lwehydrogen lwenziwa yigesi yendalo, kwaye ikharbon diokside enxulumene nayo ikhutshwa emoyeni.
