中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年4月4日伦敦报道，欧盟理事会周三晚些时候表示，来自20个欧洲国家的部长们已经同意评估低碳氢和可再生气体的潜力，并提出估计的市场份额，以支持未来的脱碳能源制度。
作为欧盟到2050年将温室气体排放量削减至少80%的长期努力的一部分，这一估计数字可能支持天然气行业的呼吁，即欧盟为脱碳和可再生气体设定具体的市场份额目标。
部长们本周在布加勒斯特举行的欧盟能源理事会非正式会议上表示，氢和再生气可以远距离运输，易于储存，并为那些难以转向可再生能源的行业提供能源。
欧盟理事会说：“在欧盟层面达成的可再生能源目标的基础上，我们打算分析天然气基础设施在未来能源系统中的潜在作用，以便运输和储存接近零碳的氢和再生气。”
欧盟为自己设定了一个有约束力的目标，到2030年，可再生能源将占欧盟最终能源的32%，欧盟各国政府必须在今年年底前制定出帮助实现这一目标的计划。
部长们表示，他们希望天然气基础设施投资者考虑天然气需求的演变以及未来氢和生物气的股票，“以降低未来项目在中长期成为搁浅资产的风险”。
奥地利和德国的部长没有签署这份协议。这两个国家的政府都支持俄罗斯计划在今年年底前开通的、每年向德国输送550亿立方米天然气的北溪-2管道。
丹麦也没有签署协议，丹麦仍在评估北溪-2管道为波罗的海的丹麦段申请规划许可证。如果许可决定在今年8月之后做出，2019年底的开始日期可能会推迟。
部长们还表示，需要对监管框架进行改革，以便向气网中注入更多氢气和可再生气体，包括对天然气质量和最终用户设备的潜在影响。
欧盟国家保加利亚、克罗地亚、塞浦路斯、捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、芬兰、希腊、匈牙利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、马耳他、波兰、葡萄牙、罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚、英国以及非欧盟国家列支敦士登、挪威和瑞士的部长们签署了这份协议。
大约50个组织和公司也签署了协议，其中包括欧洲天然气基础设施和欧洲天然气贸易集团以及荷兰的天然气网络运营商Gasunie、法国的GRTgaz、德国的Ontras和意大利的Snam。
欧洲主要天然气供应商和北溪-2管道项目的投资者Engie、壳牌公司和Uniper也签署了协议。

20 European nations see hydrogen, renewable gas key to 2050 energy mix
Ministers from 20 European countries have agreed to assess the potential of low-carbon hydrogen and renewable gases, and come up with estimated market shares that could support a future decarbonized energy system, the EU Council said late Wednesday.
Such estimates could support gas industry calls for the EU to set specific market share targets for decarbonized and renewable gases as part of its long-term efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050.
Hydrogen and renewable gases can be transported over long distances, easily stored, and provide energy for sectors which would be challenging to switch to renewable power, ministers said at an informal EU energy council meeting in Bucharest this week.
"Building on the renewable energy targets agreed at EU level ... we intend to analyze the potential role of the gas infrastructure in the future energy system, in order to transport and store near zero carbon hydrogen and renewable gases," they said.
The EU has set itself a binding target to source 32% of its final energy from renewables by 2030, and governments have to set out how they intend to help meet this target by the end of this year.
Ministers said they wanted gas infrastructure investors to take account of gas demand evolution and future hydrogen and biogas shares "to reduce the risk that future projects would become stranded assets in the medium or long term."
Ministers from Austria and Germany -- two governments supporting Russia's planned 55 Bcm/year Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany, which is planned to come online by the end of this year -- did not sign the declaration.
Neither did Denmark, which is still assessing Nord Stream 2's applications for a planning permit for the Danish section in the Baltic Sea. If the permit decision comes after August this year, the end-2019 start date could slip.
The ministers also said changes to the regulatory framework would need to be explored to enable more hydrogen and renewable gases to be injected into the grid, including the potential impacts on gas quality and end-user appliances.
Ministers from EU countries Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, UK, as well as non-EU countries Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, signed the declaration.
Some 50 organizations and companies also signed, including trade groups Gas Infrastructure Europe and Eurogas, and gas grid operators Gasunie of the Netherlands, GRTgaz of France, Ontras of Germany and Snam of Italy.
Major European gas suppliers and Nord Stream 2 investors Engie, Shell and Uniper also signed.
