该项目展示了用氢等燃料取代传统天然气的潜力, 哪些可以由清洁的可再生能源制成, 并促进氢经济的许多环境和经济效益

PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) and Bloom Energy  (NYSE: BE), 今天宣布,加州理工学院的一部分电网将通过一个创新的氢项目供电,该项目展示了氢是如何为长期清洁能源储存和可调度发电提供强有力的解决方案的.

该项目展示了如何利用电解槽和燃料电池技术的现有基础设施来创建提供弹性电力的微电网,并有助于保护企业, communities, and campuses from power disruptions. 如果大规模开发,这项技术可能会进一步发挥作用 California Governor Gavin Newsom's recent strategic initiatives to develop a hydrogen economy.

“随着时间的推移,越来越清楚的是,氢能够而且应该在全球气候变化中发挥关键作用 California's 努力减少太阳2平台对化石燃料的依赖。 Senator Bob Archuleta他是参议院氢能特别委员会主席. "Moreover, I am excited to see Caltech, one of our nation's leading institutions, 作为一个试验台,在他们的校园里使用这种新的创新技术."

“这一合作努力代表了利用氢作为弹性材料的重要一步, 清洁能源解决方案,符合纽森州长的愿景 California," said Maryam Brown, President at SoCalGas. “将尖端的电解槽和燃料电池技术整合到现有的基础设施中,表明了建立强大的微电网的潜力, enhancing power resiliency for businesses, communities and campuses at scale."

太阳2平台赞扬纽森州长和SoCalGas在发展氢经济的重要工作上的远见卓识和领导能力," said Greg Cameron他是Bloom Energy的总裁兼首席财务官. "As a California manufacturer of Bloom Electrolyzers®, 太阳2平台在推进在后碳经济中提供清洁可靠能源的目标方面具有独特的优势. 太阳2平台正在寻找一些重要的机会,向客户提供太阳2平台的电解槽,以帮助氢在美国成为一种重要的能源.S. and internationally."

这个项目从加州理工学院的供水管道中取水,并将其通过布鲁姆能源公司的固体氧化物电解槽, which uses grid energy to create hydrogen. 产生的氢气被注入加州理工学院布鲁姆能源公司燃料电池上游的天然气基础设施, 产生高达20%的氢气和天然气混合物. 所有这些混合燃料然后被布鲁姆能源公司的燃料电池转化为电能, 然后将电力分配给校园使用.

将氢气混合到全州的天然气基础设施中——这可能有助于减少对化石燃料的依赖,并最终通过规模化生产降低氢的成本——首先需要制定氢注入标准. 预计到2050年,全球氢能经济可能产生多达800亿吨的碳减排, 这代表了大约11%的累积减排要求.1

SoCalGas正在努力帮助发展一个州 hydrogen blending standard 提出试点项目供CPUC批准. 这些项目可以帮助人们更好地了解清洁可再生氢等清洁燃料如何通过加州的天然气系统输送.

就在今年,SoCalGas公布了它的获奖项目 H2 Innovation Experience, 这是一个先进的示范项目,旨在展示氢微电网的潜在弹性和可靠性.

When coupled with renewable energy, 清洁的氢可以帮助促进可扩展的, resilient and decarbonized energy system. SoCalGas正致力于通过对氢的投资,帮助塑造加州21世纪的能源体系, renewable natural gas, fuel cells and carbon management.
