液化空气inaugurates a pilot site for the production of carbon-free hydrogen in Denmark
今天，在丹麦的霍布罗，液化空气公司在项目合作伙伴的见证下，为生产无碳氢气的试验基地HyBalance揭牌。该设施采用电解技术，能够平衡电网，并以氢气的形式储存剩余电力，用于工业和交通运输。该项目于2016年启动，由液化空气牵头，由欧洲公私合作伙伴燃料电池和氢气联合事业（FCH JU）提供资金，并得到丹麦EUDP*计划的支持。
As part of this project, Air Liquide developed, built, and is operating电解水生产氢气的设备以及为客户提供拖车的灌装中心。电解槽，带a capacity of 1.2 MW, enables the production of around500 kg of hydrogen a day without releasing CO2. 除工业用户外，所生产的氢气还用于供应由丹麦液化空气公司的子公司哥本哈根氢气网络（CHN）安装和运营的五个氢气站网络。
Denmark is a pioneer in the integration of renewable energies into the national energy mix, with 40% of the country’s electricity produced from wind turbines. By compensating for renewable energy intermittency, hydrogen offersa solution for storing surplus electricity to meet the challenges posed by the energy transition.
François Darchis，高级副总裁兼液化空气集团执行委员会成员，监督创新，表示：“氢能has a tremendous potential to support energy transition. Air Liquide is proud to be part of the HyBalance project. It also contributes to the Group's commitment to develop technological solutions towards lower greenhouse gas emissions in order to fight climate change.”
Under the coordination of Air Liquide, the HyBalance project brings together a group of partners - Hydrogenics, LBST, Neas Energy, and Hydrogen Valley - for the construction of one of the largest carbon-free hydrogen production units in Europe. The project has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No. 671384. This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. The HyBalance project has furthermore received funding from the Danish EUDP* programme (Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme).

氢气为清洁运输提供了许多好处。用于燃料电池，它与大气中的氧结合产生电能，水是唯一的副产品。它在使用时不会产生任何污染：零温室气体、零颗粒物和零噪音。氢能为城市地区的可持续流动性和局部污染带来了具体的应对措施。在600公里左右的行驶里程内，为氢动力电动汽车充电不到5分钟。
Blue Hydrogen®是一个液化空气项目，其目标是逐步脱碳生产专用于能源应用的氢气。实际上，液化空气公司承诺到2020年通过无碳工艺生产至少50%的氢气，包括：
- The use of renewable energies, water electrolysis, and biogas reforming
- The use of technologies for the capture and upgrading of carbon emitted during the process of producing hydrogen from natural gas.
Even when it is produced from natural gas, hydrogen is a virtuous energy: for equal distance traveled, hydrogen cars allow to reduce GHG emissions by 20% compared with internal combustion vehicles and do not produce any fine particles.
