據油氣新聞5月16日消息稱，一份新報告顯示，氫已經在石油和天然氣行業的脫碳工作中占據主要地位。

油氣行業技術顧問DNV GL發布的一份新報告顯示，五分之一(21%)的油氣行業資深人士表示，他們的公司已經在積極進入氫氣市場。

《氫氣的發展》對 1000多位石油和天然氣專業人士的調查，以及對行業高管的深入采訪。該報告認為，近期該行業投資重點的轉變，不太可能影響該行業減少碳排放的長期努力。

DNV GL發現，報告說他們的組織正在積極適應低碳密集能源組合的人數顯著上升——從2018年的44%上升到2020年的60%。目前，無碳氫的生產、傳輸和分配被廣泛認為是石油和天然氣行業脫碳努力的核心組成部分。

DNV GL-石油和天然氣首席執行官Liv A. Hovem表示：“隨著能源轉型的步伐加快，氫成為人們關注的焦點——這是理所當然的。但是，要實現其潛力，政府和行業都需要做出大膽的決定。現在的挑戰不是雄心壯志，而是改變時間表:從地平線上的氫燃料，到我們家庭、企業和交通系統中的氫燃料。”

DNV GL在亞太地區(56%)、中東和北非地區(54%)和歐洲地區(53%)的調查對象中，超過一半的人認為氫將在未來10年內成為能源結構的重要組成部分。北美(40%)和拉丁美洲(37%)緊隨其后。

DNV GL: hydrogen central to oil and gas industry decarbonisation

A new report reveals that hydrogen has surged up the priority list of many oil and gas organisations, taking a primary position in the sector’s decarbonisation efforts.

A fifth (21%) of senior oil and gas industry professionals say their organisation is already actively entering the hydrogen market, according to a new report published by DNV GL, a technical advisor to the sector.

Heading for Hydrogen draws on a survey of more than 1000 senior oil and gas professionals and in-depth interviews with industry executives. The report suggests that recent shifts in the industry’s investment priorities are unlikely to affect the sector’s long-term efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

DNV GL found a significant rise in those reporting that their organisation is actively adapting to a less carbon-intensive energy mix – up from 44% for 2018 to 60% for 2020. Carbon-free hydrogen production, transmission and distribution is now widely recognised as a central component to the oil and gas industry’s decarbonisation efforts.

“Hydrogen is in the spotlight as the energy transition moves at pace – and rightly so. But to realise its potential, both governments and industry will need to make bold decisions,” said Liv A. Hovem, CEO, DNV GL – Oil & Gas. “The challenge now is not in the ambition, but in changing the timeline: from hydrogen on the horizon, to hydrogen in our homes, businesses, and transport systems.”

More than half of respondents to DNV GL’s research in Asia-Pacific (56%), the Middle East & North Africa (54%) and Europe (53%) agree that hydrogen will be a significant part of the energy mix within 10 years. North America (40%) and Latin America (37%) are only a little behind.
