據烴加工新聞7月13日消息稱，殼牌宣布了一項在埃德蒙頓附近的斯科特福德綜合體建設大規模碳捕獲和封存 (CCS) 項目的提議。這將是將斯科特福德轉變為殼牌全球五大能源和化學品園區之一的關鍵一步，為客戶提供未來的低碳燃料和產品，如氫。

　　擬議中的北極星CCS項目是殼牌在斯科特福德勘探的一系列低碳機遇中最大的一個，將從殼牌擁有的斯科特福德煉油廠和化工廠捕獲二氧化碳。初始階段預計將在 10 年中期左右開始運營，這取決于殼牌預計在 2023 年做出的最終投資決定?！氨睒O星”項目在整個項目期間的二氧化碳儲存能力約為3億噸。

　　殼牌加拿大公司總裁兼國家主席Susannah Pierce說:“殼牌正在采取大膽的行動，使我們的業務和更廣泛的行業脫碳，北極星CCS項目是最新的例子。我們在斯科特福德的計劃符合殼牌的目標，即到2050年成為一個凈零排放的能源企業，與社會同步。我們正在創建一個世界級的站點，將為客戶提供低碳燃料、產品和二氧化碳存儲。北極星還將為殼牌到2035年每年增加2500萬噸CCS產能的目標做出重大貢獻。”

　　北極星CCS項目是在斯科特福德的Quest CCS設施取得成功之后進行的，該設施在6年的運行中已經捕獲并安全儲存了超過600萬噸的二氧化碳。最近，殼牌也就挪威的北極光CCS項目做出了最終投資決定，并參與了荷蘭的Porthos CCS項目。

　　北極星CCS項目的初始階段將每年從斯科特福德煉油廠和化工廠捕獲并儲存大約75萬噸二氧化碳。它將減少殼牌煉油廠直接和間接排放的40%和化工廠的30%。它還將創造多達2000個工作崗位。

　　北極星CCS項目的第二階段包括在艾伯塔省建立一個二氧化碳儲存中心，進一步使殼牌的設施脫碳，并代表第三方工業來源作為一個值得信賴和可靠的二氧化碳儲存運營商來儲存排放。

　　一旦完全建成，北極星將為埃德蒙頓地區成為加拿大第一個氫中心做出貢獻。在北極星項目的初始階段，從煉油廠的制氫廠捕獲的二氧化碳將生產用于煉油過程的藍氫，并有可能在未來階段大規模生產藍氫。殼牌還在斯科特福德開發更多的藍氫和綠氫，利用阿爾伯塔豐富的天然氣和可再生能源。

　　Shell proposes large-scale CCS facility in Alberta

　　Shell announced a proposal to build a large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at its Scotford Complex near Edmonton. This would be a key step in transforming Scotford into one of five energy and chemicals parks for Shell around the world, providing customers with lower-carbon fuels and products into the future, such as hydrogen.

　　The proposed Polaris CCS project, the largest in a series of low-carbon opportunities Shell is exploring at Scotford, would capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Shell-owned Scotford refinery and chemicals plant. The initial phase is expected to start operations around the middle of the decade, subject to a final investment decision by Shell expected in 2023. Polaris would have storage capacity of about 300 million tonnes of CO2 over the life of the project.

　　“Shell is making bold moves to decarbonize our operations, and wider industry, and the Polaris CCS project is the latest example,” said Susannah Pierce, Shell Canada President and Country Chair. “Our plans for Scotford are in line with Shell’s target to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, in step with society. We are creating a world-class site that will provide customers with lower-carbon fuels, products and CO2 storage. Polaris would also make a significant contribution to Shell’s aim to have access to an additional 25 million tonnes a year of CCS capacity by 2035.”

　　The Polaris CCS project follows the success of the Quest CCS facility at Scotford, which has captured and safely stored more than six million tonnes of CO2 in its six years of operation. Recently, Shell has also taken a final investment decision on the Northern Lights CCS project in Norway and is part of the Porthos CCS project in the Netherlands.

　　The initial phase of the Polaris CCS project would capture and store approximately 750,000 tonnes a year of CO2 from the Scotford refinery and chemicals plant. It would reduce Shell’s direct and indirect emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by up to 40% from the refinery and by up to 30% from the chemicals plant. It would also create up to 2,000 jobs.

　　The second phase of the Polaris CCS project involves the creation of a CO2 storage hub in Alberta, further decarbonizing Shell’s facilities and storing emissions on behalf of third-party industry sources as a trusted and reliable CO2 storage operator.

　　once fully built, Polaris would contribute to the Edmonton region becoming Canada’s first hydrogen hub. In the initial phase of Polaris, CO2 captured from the refinery’s hydrogen plants would produce blue hydrogen for use in the refining process, with the potential for large-scale blue hydrogen production in future phases. Shell is also exploring the development of additional volumes of blue and green hydrogen at Scotford that leverage Alberta’s abundance of natural gas and availability of renewable sources of power.
