據世界天然氣7月20日報道稱，德國海上風電行業的代表敦促政府盡快招標生產綠色氫氣所需的額外海上風電區域。

BWE、BWO、VDMA、WAB和德國海上風能基金會表示，德國國家氫能戰略（NWS）為利用約3GW的海上風能生產綠色氫創造了機會，因此必須對其他領域進行預先調查，盡快進行投標。

在區域開發計劃的初稿中，聯邦海洋和水文局（BSH）指定了北海和波羅的海的前兩個Power-to-X站點，授予程序應于2021年開始。

協會表示：“由于海上風電場的規劃時間較長，擴張缺口迫在眉睫。目前面對的挑戰是盡可能縮小這一擴張差距，并持續和永久地加強國內海上風能市場。”

協會還表示，北海和波羅的海的潛力尚未枯竭，可用區域和1860兆瓦的免費電網容量可在短時間內分配。

區域開發計劃中寫道，如果現在確定正確的路線，這些不僅將為疫情危機后的可持續經濟復蘇做出重大貢獻，而且將為實現氣候目標和能源轉型期間的供應安全做出巨大貢獻。

Germans seek expedience on offshore wind to hydrogen projects

Representatives from the German offshore wind industry are urging the government to issue tenders for additional offshore wind areas needed to produce green hydrogen as quickly as possible.

Germany’s National Hydrogen Strategy (NWS) opens up the opportunity to use about 3 GW of offshore wind energy to produce green hydrogen, thus additional areas must be pre-investigated and put out to tender as quickly as possible, BWE, BWO, VDMA, WAB and the German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation stated.

In the preliminary draft of the area development plan, the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) named the first two sites for Power-to-X in the North Sea and Baltic Sea, for which the award procedure should begin in 2021.

“Not least because of the long planning time of offshore wind farms, we have long warned that an expansion gap is imminent. We are now in the middle of it. The challenge now is to keep this expansion gap as small as possible and to strengthen the domestic market for offshore wind energy sustainably and permanently,” the organizations said.

“In addition to anchoring the long-term goals in law, this also includes putting the available areas out to tender as quickly as possible and choosing an economically efficient remuneration system for future offshore wind projects.”

According to the associations, the potential in the North and Baltic Seas is not yet exhausted and available areas and free grid capacities of 1,860 MW could be allocated at short notice.

“If the right course is set now, these will not only make a significant contribution to the sustainable economic recovery after the Corona crisis, but will also contribute greatly to achieving the climate targets and security of supply during the energy transition,” it was concluded.
