I-Engie yase-Italy kanye nesikhwama somnotho esizimele saseSaudi Arabia iPublic Investment Fund basayine isivumelwano sokuqala sokuthuthukisa ngokubambisana amaphrojekthi e-hydrogen eluhlaza emnothweni omkhulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni wama-Arabhu. U-Engie uthe amaqembu azophinde ahlole amathuba okusheshisa ukuguquka kwamandla kombuso ngokuhambisana nezinhloso zesinyathelo se-Vision 2030 saseSaudi Arabia. Lokhu kuthengiselana kuvumela i-PIF ne-Engie ukuthi bahlole ukusebenza kwamathuba okuthuthukiswa okuhlangene. Le nkampani yamandla ithe amaqembu azophinde asebenzisane ukuthuthukisa isu lokufinyelela kangcono izimakethe zomhlaba wonke kanye nokuqinisekisa amalungiselelo okuthatha imali.
UFrederic Claux, umqondisi ophethe wezokukhiqiza nokuthengisa okuguquguqukayo e-Amea kwa-Engie, uthe. Ubambiswano lwethu ne-PIF luzosiza ekubekeni isisekelo esiqinile embonini ye-hydrogen eluhlaza, okwenza iSaudi Arabia ibe ngenye yabathengisi abakhulu emhlabeni abathumela i-hydrogen eluhlaza. Isivumelwano sokuqala, esisayinwe nguMnu. Croux noYazeed Al Humied, iphini likamongameli we-PIF kanye nenhloko yokutshalwa kwezimali eMpumalanga Ephakathi naseNyakatho Afrika, sihambisana nemizamo yezwe yokuhlukanisa umnotho walo ngaphansi kohlelo lokuguqula i-Vision 2030 lukaRiyadh.
Umkhiqizi kawoyela ohamba phambili we-OPEC, iSaudi Arabia, njengabalingani bayo abacebile ngama-hydrocarbon eqenjini lezomnotho le-Gulf Cooperation Council lamazwe ayisithupha, ufuna ukuqinisa ukuncintisana kwayo emhlabeni wonke ekukhiqizweni nasekuhlinzekweni kwe-hydrogen kanye nezinto eziphuma kuyo. I-UAE ithathe isinyathelo esikhulu sokunciphisa i-carbon emnothweni wayo, ibuyekeza i-UAE Energy Strategy 2050 futhi yethula iNational Hydrogen Strategy.
I-UAE ihlose ukuguqula izwe libe ngumkhiqizi ohamba phambili nothembekile kanye nomhlinzeki we-hydrogen ephansi kwekhabhoni ngo-2031, kusho uNgqongqoshe Wezamandla Nengqalasizinda uSuhail Al Mazrouei ngesikhathi kwethulwa.
I-UAE ihlela ukukhiqiza amathani ayizigidi ezingu-1.4 e-hydrogen ngonyaka ngo-2031 futhi yandise umkhiqizo ube amathani ayizigidi ezingu-15 ngo-2050. Ngo-2031, izokwakha ama-hydrogen oases amabili, ngalinye likhiqize ugesi ohlanzekile. UMnu. Al Mazrouei uthe i-UAE izokwandisa inani lama-oases libe amahlanu ngo-2050.
NgoJuni, i-Hydrom yase-Oman yasayina isivumelwano samaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-10 ukuthuthukisa amaphrojekthi amabili amasha e-hydrogen eluhlaza ne-Posco-Engie consortium kanye ne-Hyport Duqm consortium. Lezi zinkontileka kulindeleke ukuthi zikhiqize umthamo wokukhiqiza ohlangene wamakhilogremu angu-250 ngonyaka, kanye namandla angaphezu kuka-6.5 GW wamandla avuselelekayo afakiwe ezindaweni. I-Hydrogen, engakhiqizwa emithonjeni yamandla avuselelekayo kanye negesi yemvelo, kulindeleke ukuthi ibe uphethiloli oyinhloko njengoba umnotho kanye nezimboni ziguqukela ezweni elinekhabhoni ephansi. Iza ngezindlela eziningi, kufaka phakathi okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kanye nokumpunga. I-hydrogen eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokumpunga ikhiqizwa ngegesi yemvelo, kuyilapho i-hydrogen eluhlaza ihlukanisa ama-molecule amanzi nge-electrolysis. Ibhange lokutshalwa kwezimali laseFrance i-Natixis lilinganisela ukuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali kwe-hydrogen kuzodlula amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-300 ngo-2030.
