Topsoe 和 First Ammonia 簽署5GW 世界最大SOEC電解槽協議

Topsoe and First Ammonia Launch Zero Emission Ammonia Production With the World’s Largest Reservation of Electrolyzer Capacity

Topsoe 和 First Ammonia 簽署5GW 世界最大SOEC電解槽協議

Topsoe and First Ammonia signed a 5GW launch company agreement for the reservation of first-of-a-kind, industrial-scale, solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC) to produce green ammonia, a fuel for transportation, power storage and generation, and fertilizer.

Topsoe 和 First Ammonia 公司簽署 5GW項目協議，開啟首個工業級規模固體氧化物電解槽 (SOEC)生產綠氨：氨氣可用作運輸、電力儲存和發電的燃料以及生產化肥。

This is shaping up to be the largest agreement in the world, to date, for any type of electrolyzer and will displace almost 5 BCM of natural gas and eliminate 13 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

這是迄今為止世界最大的電解槽協議。每年將取代50億立方米的天然氣，減少1300萬噸的CO2排放。

The first 500 MW of capacity will be installed in the world’s first commercial-scale green ammonia plants at sites in Northern Germany and Southwestern United States.

該項目首批次500MW產能將安裝在德國北部及美國西南部的世界首個商業規模的綠色合成氨工廠。

Today, two leaders in the global green transition, technology pioneer Topsoe and green ammonia early-mover First Ammonia, announced that they have entered into a capacity reservation agreement to kickstart the global market for green ammonia.

全球綠色轉型領先公司、技術先驅Topsoe和綠氨先行者First Ammonia宣布，雙方已簽訂產能預留協議，以開啟全球綠氨市場。

Topsoe’s ground-breaking, energy efficient solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC) will be installed in First Ammonia’s green ammonia plants around the world in the coming years. The agreement provides for an initial purchase of 500MW of SOEC units and is expandable to up to 5GW over the lifetime of the agreement. Topsoe’s SOEC manufacturing plant is to be built in Herning, Denmark, and has recently received FID from the board.

在未來幾年，Topsoe公司開創性的節能型固體氧化物電解槽SOEC將安裝在First Ammonia在世界各地的綠色合成氨工廠中。據協議內容，First Ammonia在初期將購買500MW的SOEC機組，并在協議有效期內把容量拓展至5GW。Topsoe公司位于丹麥海寧的SOEC生產最近收到了董事會的最終投資決定FID。

First Ammonia has been developing sites around the globe with the first installation of 500MW of capacity to be installed at locations in Northern Germany and Southwestern United States. These projects will be the world’s first commercial-scale, green ammonia production facilities with operation planned for 2025. First Ammonia will operate all its plants dynamically to support existing renewable power markets.

First Ammonia一直在全球范圍內開發工廠，首次安裝的500MW電解槽位于德國的北部和美國的西南部。這些項目是世界首個商業規模的綠氨生產設施，并計劃于2025年投入運營。First Ammonia 將動態運營其所有的工廠，對現有的可再生能源市場進行支持。

Joel Moser, CEO of First Ammonia, said:

“We have the utmost confidence in Topsoe and its storied scientists and engineers, which is why we have chosen Topsoe as our partner. With their cutting edge SOEC electrolyzers and industry leading ammonia synthesis, we will develop facilities around the world to produce millions of tons of green ammonia from water and air. Ammonia saved humanity from starvation a century ago as a replacement for depleted sources of fertilizers, in large part due to Topsoe’s excellence. Ammonia can save humanity once again as the workhorse of the hydrogen economy, replacing petrochemicals to decarbonize agriculture, transportation and power storage and generation.”

First Ammonia 首席執行官 Joel Moser 表示，我們對Topsoe及其傳奇的科學家和工程師充滿信心。憑借Topsoe先進的SOEC電解槽技術和行業領先的合成氨，我們將在世界各地開發設施，利用水和空氣生產數百萬噸綠氨。一個世紀前，氨作為枯竭的肥料來源的替代品讓人類免于饑餓，這在很大程度上要歸功于Topsoe的卓越表現。作為氫能經濟的主力，氨可以再次拯救人類，取代石化產品，使得農業、運輸和電力存儲及發電等進行脫碳。

Green ammonia to replace hydrocarbon-based fuels for a wide range of use cases

綠氨可替代碳氫化合物燃料，應用廣泛

Green ammonia has the highest volumetric energy density out of all the hydrogen-based energy sources – much more than pure hydrogen – which makes it cheap and easy to store and transport.

在所有的氨基能源中，綠氨體積能量密度最高，遠超過純氫，這使得綠氨易于存儲和運輸。

With an existing global ammonia infrastructure, green ammonia can quickly and easily replace hydrocarbon-based fuels for a wide range of use cases, with ammonia fueled ships already on order and ammonia power stations under development.

通過動態運行（在非高峰電力需求時間生產氨），First Ammonia 將成為可再生能源生產經濟的凈貢獻者，無論公司在哪里建造生產工廠，都可以進一步擴建額外的可再生能源。

By operating dynamically—producing ammonia during off-peak power demand hours—First Ammonia will be a net contributor to the economics of renewable power production, providing for the further build-out of additional renewable power wherever they build a production plant.

利用現有的全球氨氣基礎設施，綠氨可很快輕松的替代碳氫燃料，且應用廣泛。氨燃料船舶現已進行訂購，氨氣發電也正在開發中。
