中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)管道油氣新聞網(wǎng)2月1日消息：澳大利亞建立了由13個(gè)區(qū)域氫技術(shù)集群組成的網(wǎng)絡(luò)，這是建立全國性氫集群驅(qū)動(dòng)力的一部分。該網(wǎng)絡(luò)將在集群上投資185萬澳元，將培育價(jià)值數(shù)十億美元具有全球競爭力的制氫行業(yè)。

由NERA牽頭的國家集群(將作為虛擬網(wǎng)絡(luò)運(yùn)行)將為澳大利亞的氫技術(shù)和專業(yè)知識(shí)樹立全球知名度和公認(rèn)品牌。它還將幫助氫供應(yīng)鏈的發(fā)展，減少重疊，并確定新型氫技術(shù)的開發(fā)、部署和商業(yè)化方面的差距。

覆蓋澳大利亞各州和地區(qū)的區(qū)域性氫技術(shù)集群的建立，是在NERA于9月啟動(dòng)的種子基金選擇項(xiàng)目結(jié)束之后進(jìn)行的。NERA還能夠利用全國各州和地區(qū)政府的一系列資金承諾以及行業(yè)金融支持。

NERA首席執(zhí)行官M(fèi)iranda Taylor表示，這一宣布是提升技能、能力和商業(yè)化機(jī)會(huì)的關(guān)鍵一步，以釋放澳大利亞創(chuàng)造全球競爭性氫工業(yè)的巨大潛力，根據(jù)德勤2019年的報(bào)告，該產(chǎn)業(yè)可使澳大利亞GDP增加260億美元。

“該計(jì)劃標(biāo)志著澳大利亞發(fā)展氫技術(shù)的能力向前邁出了一大步。這些區(qū)域集群都得到各州和地區(qū)政府的支持，它們都是圍繞著關(guān)鍵的現(xiàn)有氫項(xiàng)目和技術(shù)供應(yīng)鏈建立起來的，這些項(xiàng)目和技術(shù)供應(yīng)鏈都位于戰(zhàn)略位置，有能力為其提供支持。這將確保整個(gè)新興氫價(jià)值鏈的長期凝聚力和可持續(xù)能力。”

國家氫產(chǎn)業(yè)集群的發(fā)展被2019年國家氫戰(zhàn)略確定為擴(kuò)大澳大利亞國內(nèi)產(chǎn)業(yè)規(guī)模以成為全球氫競爭對手的重要組成部分。

這一聲明將繼續(xù)發(fā)揮NERA在協(xié)調(diào)合作機(jī)會(huì)方面的積極作用，以實(shí)現(xiàn)澳大利亞在整個(gè)氫價(jià)值鏈上的潛力，并確保澳大利亞公司能夠?yàn)閲鴥?nèi)和國際市場提供新技術(shù)、產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)。

Australia unveils nationwide hydrogen cluster scheme

A network of 13 regional hydrogen technology clusters has been unveiled across Australia as part of a drive to establish a nationwide hydrogen cluster. With A$1.85 million to be invested in the clusters, the network will foster a multi-billion dollar, globally competitive hydrogen industry.

Spearheaded by NERA, the national cluster (which would operate as a virtual network) will establish a global identity and a recognised brand for Australian hydrogen technology and expertise. It will also aid the development of the hydrogen supply chain, reduce overlaps and identify gaps in the development, deployment, and commercialisation of new hydrogen-focussed technologies.

The establishment of the regional hydrogen technology clusters — which cover all of Australia’s states and territories — follows the conclusion of a seed funding selection program started by NERA in September. NERA has also been able to leverage a range of funding commitments from state and territory governments around the country, as well as industry financial support.

NERA CEO Miranda Taylor said the announcement was a crucial step in building the skills, capacities and commercialisation opportunities necessary to unlock Australia’s enormous potential to create a globally competitive hydrogen industry that, according to a 2019 Deloitte report, could increase Australia’s GDP up to $26 billion.

“Today marks a great step forward in Australia’s capability in developing hydrogen technologies. These regional clusters, all of which have the support of their state and territory governments, have been established around key, existing hydrogen projects and technology supply chains in strategic locations that have a demonstrated capacity to support them."

“This will ensure long-term local cohesion and sustainable capability across the emerging hydrogen value chain.”

The development of a national hydrogen cluster was identified by the 2019 National Hydrogen Strategy as an important component to scale up Australia’s domestic industry to become a global hydrogen competitor.

This announcement continues NERA’s active role in coordinating collaborative opportunities to realise Australia’s hydrogen potential across the hydrogen value chain and ensure that Australian companies are well placed to supply new technology, products and services to domestic and international markets.
