據(jù)天然氣加工網(wǎng)站9月4日報道 加拿大主要的生產省阿爾伯塔省希望在不增加排放的情況下，利用氫氣為油砂的擴張?zhí)峁┤剂?。總理特魯多承諾采取有力行動應對氣候變化。

阿爾伯塔省天然氣部副部長納利在接受路透社采訪時表示，阿爾伯塔省將不遲于10月宣布一項戰(zhàn)略，開發(fā)氫能作為一種更清潔的替代方案，以取代在蒸汽驅動油砂開采原油。

戴爾納利表示，采用更清潔的原料將使阿爾伯塔省在不超過其每年1億噸的省級碳排放限額的情況下生產更多的。

他說：“氫能將使我們能夠繼續(xù)推動燃料變革，降低油砂的碳強度，直到達到傳統(tǒng)油砂和油砂在溫室氣體方面沒有差別的程度。阿爾伯塔省的氫計劃與渥太華的計劃是同步的?！?/span>

“降低油砂的碳強度當然可以讓油砂有更多的發(fā)展?！?/span>

這些氫氣從天然氣中產生，碳副產品被捕獲并儲存起來。

一位熟悉聯(lián)邦計劃的政府消息人士稱，特魯多將于本月啟動一項綠色議程，預計將為2050年的零排放目標制定路線，并可能包括一項戰(zhàn)略，將氫描述為石油行業(yè)的“凈零登月計劃”。

Canada has big plans to use hydrogen to cut emissions

Canada's main crude-producing province Alberta looks to use hydrogen to fuel expansion of its oil sands without increasing emissions, even as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promises strong action against climate change, officials with the two governments said.

Alberta will announce no later than October a strategy to develop "blue hydrogen" as a cleaner alternative to using natural gas to extract crude at steam-driven oil sands sites, Associate Minister of Natural Gas Dale Nally told Reuters in an interview.

Deploying cleaner feedstock will allow Alberta to produce more oil without exceeding its 100 megaton annual limit on provincial carbon emissions, Nally said.

"Hydrogen will allow us to continue to move the bar and reduce the carbon intensity of the oil sands until you get to a point where there is no difference in (greenhouse gases) in conventional oil and oil sands," he said, adding that Alberta's hydrogen plan is synchronized with Ottawa's.

"Reducing the carbon intensity of the oil sands would allow of course more expansion."

Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas, with the carbon byproduct captured and stored.

A green agenda to be launched by Trudeau this month is expected to map out a course to the 2050 zero-emissions target, and likely to include a strategy describing hydrogen as a "net-zero moon shot" for the petroleum sector, said a government source familiar with the federal plan.
