據氣體世界網2022年5月23日報道，為了確保全球工業的綠色未來，全球知名脫碳技術專業公司丹麥托普索公司（Topsoe）正計劃建造一個全球最大、最先進的工業規模的電解槽生產廠。  

托普索公司5月23日宣布，其目標是在電力多元化轉換（Power-to-X）和難以減少碳排放的行業（如交通、化工、鋼鐵和水泥）減少排放。重工業約占全球二氧化碳排放的22%，其中鋼鐵和水泥生產分別占6.5和7%。

位于丹麥赫寧的這個新建電解槽生產廠，將在2024年開始生產固體氧化物電解槽（SOEC），該生產廠將具有500兆瓦的年產能，并有增加到5吉瓦年產能的潛力。

電解槽使用電將水分離成其組成成分：氫和氧。如果電力是通過可再生過程產生的，那么產生的氫就被認為是“綠色的”，不會排放二氧化碳。  

托普索公司的這個項目是目前正在開發的幾個大型綠色氫氣項目之一。

Topsoe advances energy transition with ‘world’s largest’ electrolyser project

In the race to secure a green future for global industry, decarbonisation technology specialist Topsoe is planning to construct what will be the world’s largest and most advanced industrial scale electrolyser production plant.

Announced today (May 23rd), the company aims to reduce emissions within Power-to-X and hard-to-abate sectors such as transport, chemicals, steel, and cement. 

Heavy industry is responsible for around 22% of global  carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, 6.5 and 7% of which are contributed to through steel and cement production. 

Producing Solid Oxide Electrolyser Cells (SOEC) and set to begin operation in 2024, the plant – located in Herning, Denmark – will have an annual capacity of 500 MW (megawatts), with the potential to scale-up to 5 GW (gigawatts).

Electrolysers use electricity to separate water into its constituent components: hydrogen and oxygen. 

If the electricity is generated through renewable processes, the hydrogen produced is regarded as ‘green’, having not contributed to the emission of CO2. 

Topsoe’s project is one of several large-scale green hydrogen projects currently being developed.
