11月16日消息,印度ReNew Power公司将在埃及的苏伊士运河经济区建设一个绿氢工厂,该项目将耗资80亿美元。
ReNew Power公司在11月15日发布的一份声明中表示,一旦投入使用,该工厂预计将生产22万吨/年的绿氢。
中东和非洲领先的综合能源解决方案提供商Elsewedy Electric公司将成为埃及绿氢项目的当地联合开发商。
在项目的第一阶段,将建立一个2万吨/年的绿氢试点工厂,计划在2026年投入使用。
第二阶段将把产能提高到预计的22万吨/年。
ReNew Power公司成立于2011年,是ReNew Energy Global的子公司。该公司网站显示,该公司是印度最大的独立可再生能源发电公司之一,截至2022年8月,在印度9个邦拥有超过120个风能、太阳能和水电项目。
2022年4月,印度石油公司(IOC)、ReNew Power和印度工程公司Larsen & Toubro (L&T)宣布成立一家合资公司,以开发印度的绿氢业务。
据路透社报道,埃及与ReNew Power的协议是政府于11月15日签署的8个框架协议之一,这些协议旨在开发绿氢和绿氨项目。
在埃及沙姆沙伊赫举行的COP27期间,各公司签署了这些协议,项目集中在红海港口Ain Sokhna和苏伊士运河经济区附近。
这些协议有望帮助埃及成为绿氢生产中心,并在2040年前赢得全球5%的市场份额。

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.
