據GulfNews網站5月26日報道，阿布扎比表示，一家私營公司將斥資10億美元建設一個太陽能制氫與氨工廠 。目前，中東地區的投資商和各國政府正在加緊開發零排放能源。

　　國營阿布扎比港務公司表示，工廠位于哈利法工業區，由赫利俄斯工業公司建造。阿布扎比港務公司在一份聲明中表示，該項目最初配置100兆瓦太陽能功率，后續提升至800兆瓦。產出的氫將合成為氨用于出口。

　　該工廠產能峰值為4萬噸綠氫/年，可用于合成20萬噸氨。

　　迪拜、阿曼與沙特阿拉伯也公布了生產綠氫計劃。

　　氫燃燒時只排放水蒸氣，被視為從油氣向清潔燃料轉型的關鍵。然而制氫技術依然昂貴，預計未來幾年市場較小。

　　阿布扎比國家石油公司（Adnoc）本周公布了一項藍氨發展計劃。用天然氣合成氫時，二氧化碳會被同時捕獲。

　　Abu Dhabi to build $1 billion green hydrogen and ammonia plant

　　Abu Dhabi said a private company will spend more than $1 billion to build a solar-powered hydrogen and ammonia plant, as investors and governments in the Middle East step up efforts to develop emissions-free energy.

　　The facility will be located at the Khalifa Industrial Zone and built by Helios Industry, according to state- run Abu Dhabi Ports Co. The project will initially include 100 megawatts of solar capacity, rising to 800 megawatts in the future, Abu Dhabi Ports said in a statement. The hydrogen that's produced will be converted into ammonia for export.

　　At peak capacity, the plant will produce 40,000 tons a year of green hydrogen, which will be used to make 200,000 tons of ammonia.

　　Dubai, Oman and Saudi Arabia have also announced plans to manufacture green hydrogen.

　　Hydrogen, which emits only water vapor when burned, is seen as crucial for the switch from oil and gas to cleaner fuels. The technology to make it is still expensive, however, and it's expected to remain a small market for at least the next several years.

　　Abu Dhabi's state oil company, known as Adnoc, announced a plan this week to develop what's known as blue ammonia. That's produced when natural gas is converted into hydrogen with the carbon-dioxide emissions being captured.
