石油设备网讯 据MRCHUB网站12月22日莫斯科报道，根据Upstreamonline报道，法国承包商液化空气公司（Air Liquide）赢得了一份重要合同，旨在为伍德赛德能源公司（Woodside Energy）位于美国俄克拉何马州阿尔德莫尔拟建的H2OK氢气项目提供液化设备。
液化空气公司将提供两个日产30吨的液化装置的工程和制造，这些液化装置将通过电解产生的氢气液化，为储存、装载和运输给客户做准备。
伍德赛德首席执行官梅格·奥尼尔表示，合同授予是H2OK的一个重要里程碑，其前端工程和设计活动预计将于今年完成。她称，我们的目标是在美国发展新能源业务。该液化设备合同的签署是推进H2OK的又一重要步骤，这将是我们在全球的第一个制氢设施。
伍德赛德计划于2023年做出H2OK的最终投资决定，这取决于所有必要的批准和适当的商业安排。奥尼尔补充道：“我们的客户越来越多地寻求低成本、低碳的能源，如氢气和氨。该项目将生产氢气，用作商业和重型运输的燃料，支持客户选择的脱碳途径。”
伍德赛德指出，液化空气集团在整个氢链(生产、储存和分销)方面的专业知识已经发展了60多年，并为该项目带来了在推进氢生态系统方面的丰富经验，以及可靠、高效和针对项目需求的领先液化技术。
在授予液化设备合同之前，澳大利亚运营商选择了Nel氢气电解器来设计和开发H2OK的碱性电解器设备。拟建的H2OK项目位于Ardmore，其战略位置优越，靠近国家高速公路和主要运输公司的供应链基础设施，并且位于一个非常适合氢气生产的区域，水和可再生能源供应充足。
伍德赛德打算利用这些资源为氢燃料电池驱动的商用和重型运输车辆生产液态氢。
除H2OK外，伍德赛德还在澳大利亚开展拟建的H2珀斯和H2TAS氢项目；同时该公司最近被提名为新西兰南部绿色氢项目开发阶段的首选合作伙伴。

Air Liquide scoops Woodside hydrogen project
French contractor Air Liquide has won a major contract to supply liquefaction equipment for Woodside Energy’s proposed H2OK hydrogen project in Ardmore, Oklahoma, in the US, said Upstreamonline.
Air Liquide will provide the engineering and fabrication of two 30 tonnes per day liquefaction units, which will liquefy hydrogen produced through electrolysis in preparation for storage, loading and transportation to customers.
Woodside chief executive Meg O’Neill said the contract award was a significant milestone for H2OK, for which front-end engineering and design activities are targeted to be completed this year. “We are aiming to develop our New Energy business in the United States. The signing of the contract for liquefaction equipment is another important step forward in advancing H2OK, which would be our first producing hydrogen facility globally,” she said.
Woodside is targeting the final investment decision for H2OK in 2023, subject to all necessary approvals and appropriate commercial arrangements being finalised. “Our customers are increasingly seeking out low-cost, lower-carbon sources of energy, such as hydrogen and ammonia. H2OK would produce hydrogen for use as a fuel for commercial and heavy transport, supporting customers’ chosen decarbonisation pathways,” added O’Neill.
Air Liquide has been developing expertise in the entire hydrogen chain — production, storage and distribution — for more than six decades and brings to the project its extensive experience in advancing hydrogen ecosystems and its leading liquefaction technologies that are reliable, efficient and specific to the needs of the project, noted Woodside.
The award of the liquefaction equipment contract follows the Australian operator’s selection of Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser to design and develop alkaline electrolyser equipment for H2OK. The proposed H2OK project site in Ardmore is strategically located near to national highways and the supply chain infrastructure of major transport companies, as well as being in an area well suited for hydrogen production with good availability of water and renewable energy.
Woodside intends to utilise these resources to produce liquid hydrogen for hydrogen fuel cell-powered commercial and heavy transport vehicles.
In addition to H2OK, Woodside is working on the proposed H2Perth and H2TAS hydrogen projects in Australia; while the company was recently named the preferred partner to progress to the development stage of the proposed Southern Green Hydrogen project in New Zealand.
