据Oil & Gas Journal网站4月19日消息 Uniper计划以Green Wilhelmshaven的名字在Wilhelmshaven建立一个德国国家氢中心，并正在进行相应的可行性研究。Uniper一直在探索在Wilhelmshaven建造700万吨/年的浮式液化天然气进口终端，但该公司认为长期需求不足以支持该项目。
计划在本世纪后半叶启用一个绿色氨进口终端。终端计划配备一台氨（NH3）裂解装置，用于生产绿色氢气，并将连接到计划的氢气网络。此外，还计划建设一座410兆瓦的电解厂，与进口终端相结合，将能够供应约29.5万吨/年的氢气，相当于2030年整个德国需求量的10%。
产生的氢气将主要用于供应当地工业，但也将被送入国家氢气网络。Uniper表示，这种方法将有助于解决能源转型的关键问题之一：供应安全。据项目开发商称，用于生产绿色氢气的NH3裂解装置将是此类装置中的首个规模化装置。
Uniper首席运营官David Bryson表示：“德国计划在2030年生产14太瓦时的绿色氢气，但该年的需求预计为90-100太瓦时，这两个数字之间的差异非常明显。如果我们想利用氢气来帮助我们实现气候目标，我们将严重依赖进口。”

Uniper repurposes LNG terminal site to hydrogen
Under the name Green Wilhelmshaven, Uniper SE plans to establish a German national hub for hydrogen in Wilhelmshaven and is working on a corresponding feasibility study. Uniper had been exploring construction of a 7-million tonne/year (tpy) floating LNG import terminal at the Wilhelmshaven site, but decided that long-term demand was insufficient to support the project.
Commissioning of an import terminal for green ammonia is planned for the second half of this decade. The terminal is planned to be equipped with an ammonia (NH3) cracker for producing green hydrogen and will be connected to a planned hydrogen network. A 410-Mw electrolysis plant is also planned, which – in combination with the import terminal - would be capable of supplying around 295,000 tpy of hydrogen, or 10% of the demand expected for the whole of Germany in 2030.
Generated hydrogen will primarily be used to supply local industry but will also be fed it into the national hydrogen network. This approach will help to solve one of the key problems of energy transition: security of supply, said Uniper. The NH3-splitting plant for producing green hydrogen would be the first scaled plant of its kind, according to project developers.
“Germany plans to generate 14 Tw-hr of green hydrogen in 2030, but the demand for that year is forecast to be 90–100 Tw-hr. The discrepancy between these two figures is abundantly clear. We will be heavily dependent on imports if we want to use hydrogen to help us achieve our climate goals,” said Uniper chief operating officer David Bryson.
