I-Siemens Energy ihlela ukuhlinzeka ngama-electrolyser angu-12 anomthamo ophelele wama-megawatts angu-200 (MW) ku-Air Liquide, ezowasebenzisa ukukhiqiza i-hydrogen evuselelekayo kuphrojekthi yayo ye-Normand'Hy eNormandy, eFrance.
Kulindeleke ukuthi le phrojekthi ikhiqize amathani angu-28,000 e-hydrogen eluhlaza minyaka yonke.
Kusukela ngo-2026, isitshalo se-Air Liquide endaweni yezimboni yasePort Jerome sizokhiqiza amathani angu-28,000 e-hydrogen evuselelekayo ngonyaka emikhakheni yezimboni kanye nezokuthutha. Ukuze siqonde kahle, ngaleli nani, iloli lomgwaqo elisebenzisa i-hydrogen lingazungeza umhlaba izikhathi eziyi-10,000.
I-hydrogen enekhabhoni ephansi ekhiqizwa yi-electrolyser ye-Siemens Energy izosiza ekususeni i-carbonization e-Air Liquide's Normandy imboni kanye nezokuthutha.
I-hydrogen equkethe ikhabhoni ephansi ekhiqizwayo izonciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-CO2 ngamathani afinyelela ku-250,000 ngonyaka. Kwezinye izimo, kungathatha izihlahla ezifika ezigidini ezingu-25 ukuze zimunce ikhabhoni eningi kangako.
I-Electrolyser eyenzelwe ukukhiqiza i-hydrogen evuselelekayo ngokusekelwe kubuchwepheshe be-PEM
Ngokusho kwe-Siemens Energy, i-electrolysis ye-PEM (proton exchange membrane) ihambisana kakhulu nezinsiza zamandla avuselelekayo ngezikhathi ezithile. Lokhu kungenxa yesikhathi esifushane sokuqala kanye nokulawulwa okunamandla kobuchwepheshe be-PEM. Ngakho-ke lobu buchwepheshe bufanelekela kahle intuthuko esheshayo yemboni ye-hydrogen ngenxa yokuminyana kwayo kwamandla aphezulu, izidingo zezinto eziphansi kanye nokuncipha kwekhabhoni.
U-Anne Laure de Chammard, ilungu leBhodi Eliphethe le-Siemens Energy, uthe ukususwa kwe-carbonization okuqhubekayo embonini bekungeke kucatshangelwe ngaphandle kwe-hydrogen evuselelekayo (i-hydrogen eluhlaza), yingakho amaphrojekthi anjalo ebaluleke kangaka.
“Kodwa zingaba yindawo yokuqala yokuguqulwa okusimeme kwendawo yezimboni,” kunezela uLaure de Chammard. “Amanye amaphrojekthi amakhulu kumele alandele ngokushesha. Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ngempumelelo umnotho we-hydrogen waseYurophu, sidinga ukwesekwa okuthembekile okuvela kubenzi bezinqubomgomo kanye nezinqubo ezilula zokuxhasa nokwamukela amaphrojekthi anjalo.”
Ukuhlinzeka ngamaphrojekthi e-hydrogen emhlabeni jikelele
Nakuba iphrojekthi yeNormand'Hy izoba ngomunye wemiklamo yokuqala yokuphakelwa evela esikhungweni esisha sokukhiqiza i-electrolyzer se-Siemens Energy eBerlin, inkampani ihlose ukwandisa ukukhiqizwa kwayo kanye nokuphakelwa kwamaphrojekthi e-hydrogen avuselelekayo emhlabeni jikelele.
Ukukhiqizwa kochungechunge lwezimboni zama-cell stacks ayo kulindeleke ukuthi kuqale ngoNovemba, kanti umkhiqizo kulindeleke ukuthi ukhuphuke ufike okungenani kuma-gigawatts amathathu (GW) ngonyaka ngo-2025.
