據(jù)氣體世界網(wǎng) 2022年2月24日倫敦報道，由于英國加快綠色轉(zhuǎn)型，減少對化石燃料的依賴，英國政府日前宣布向全國各地的新的氫儲存項目提供670萬英鎊的資金，以支持新能源儲存技術(shù)的發(fā)展。

英國商業(yè)、能源和工業(yè)戰(zhàn)略部(BEIS) 2月23日透露，英國各地的24個氫儲存項目已經(jīng)通過長期能源儲存(LODES)競賽獲得了第一輪總價值6800萬英鎊的資助。

被選中的新的氫儲存項目有潛力降低成本，以達到英國政府的凈零排放目標，并加速技術(shù)發(fā)展，成功的項目可以通過第二階段的競爭，支持商業(yè)化和私人投資。

英國能源和氣候變化大臣格雷格·漢茲在聲明中表示：“推動能源儲存技術(shù)將對我們向廉價、清潔和安全的可再生能源轉(zhuǎn)型至關(guān)重要?！?nbsp;

他補充說，這些項目將使英國從“國產(chǎn)”可再生能源中獲得全部利益，從而降低成本，結(jié)束對化石燃料的依賴。

UK Govt to fund new hydrogen storage project

As the UK accelerates the green transition and reduces its reliance on fossil fuels, the Government has announced ￡6.7m in funding to projects across the country to support development of new energy storage technologies.

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) revealed yesterday (23rd February) that 24 projects based across the UK have been awarded the first round of funding through the Longer Duration Energy Storage (LODES) competition – worth a total of ￡68m. 

Selected for their potential to reduce the cost of meeting Government net zero targets, in addition to accelerating technological development, successful projects could see passage through the second phase of the competition, which supports commercialisation and private investment. 

Greg Hands, Energy and Climate Change Minister commented on the announcement, saying, “Driving forward energy storage technologies will be vital in our transition towards cheap, clean and secure renewable energy.” 

He added that the projects will allow extraction of the full benefit from the UK’s ‘home-grown’ renewable energy sources, in turn driving down costs and ending the reliance on fossil fuels.
