11月10日消息称，葡萄牙环境部长周四表示，有70家私人投资者或集团计划投资100亿欧元(102亿美元)，葡萄牙有望成为绿色氢气的主要生产国和出口国。

所谓的绿色氢气是利用可再生电力生产的，被视为一种关键的能源，可以减少长途重型运输、钢铁和化工工业以及发电带来的污染。

他说，政府高度重视低成本的风能和太阳能发电，这将使氢和其他可再生气体的以具有竞争力的价格进行生产，并确保更大的能源独立性。他没有给出100亿欧元投资的具体时间表，也没有说明何时开始出口。

正常情况下，葡萄牙60%的电力消费来自可再生能源，政府希望到2026年这一比例能达到80%。

“我们相信，葡萄牙在短期内将成为氢气和可再生气体的（欧洲）重要生产国。这些项目处于不同的发展阶段。”他对议会委员会表示。

他说，葡萄牙应该能够满足自己的氢气需求并进行出口。他补充说，大部分出口将通过海路，而不是计划中的伊比利亚半岛和法国之间的BarMar管道。

Portugal Seeks to Become Major Exporter of Green Hydrogen

Portugal expects to become a major producer and exporter of green hydrogen with 70 private investors or groups planning to spend 10 billion euros ($10.2 billion), the environment minister said on Thursday.

So-called green hydrogen, produced using renewable electricity, is seen as a key power source that can reduce pollution from long-haul heavy transport, steel and chemical industries and power generation.

Duarte Cordeiro said that his country's strong focus on low-cost wind and solar power will allow the production of hydrogen and other renewable gases at competitive prices and ensure greater energy independence. He did not give a specific time frame for the 10 billion euro investment nor say when exports would start.

In a normal year, 60% of electricity consumption in Portugal comes from renewable sources, and the government wants that share to reach 80% by 2026.

"We believe that Portugal will be an important (European) producer of hydrogen and renewable gases in the short term. The projects are in different stages of development," he told a parliamentary committee.

Portugal should be able to meet its own hydrogen needs and to export, he said, adding that most exports would go by sea instead of the planned pipeline between Iberia and France, dubbed BarMar.
