世界银行集团创建全球低碳氢能联盟H4D

据阿拉伯贸易网11月16日沙姆沙伊赫报道， 世界银行集团创建了“氢能发展伙伴关系”(H4D)，这是一项新的全球倡议，旨在促进发展中国家使用低碳氢能。这一消息是在11月15日COP27能源日上宣布的。

H4D将有助于催化未来几年氢能投资的重大融资，包括来自公共和私人来源的融资。这个伙伴关系将促进能力建设和监管解决方案、商业模式和技术，以便在发展中国家推广低碳氢气。

通过H4D，发展中国家将进一步获得优惠融资和技术援助，以扩大氢能项目的规模。

重要的角色

世界银行集团总裁David Malpass说：“低碳氢气可以在寻求加快清洁能源转型的国家中发挥重要作用。” “我们新的氢能伙伴关系将使发展中国家能够准备低碳氢气项目，在降低排放的同时提高其人民的能源安全和抗风险能力。”

低碳氢气为重工业的脱碳提供了一个解决方案，这些重工业的二氧化碳排放量占全球的25%以上，目前还没有化石燃料的可行替代品。低成本、低碳的氢燃料可以成为柴油运输的可行替代品。 氢气也有可能提供长期的能源储存选择，并提高可再生能源的可靠性，如太阳能光伏和风能。

出口收入  

对于低收入和中等收入国家来说，低碳氢气有可能产生出口收入，创造一个附加值的出口部门，为熟练工人创造就业机会，并有助于促进粮食安全，因为氢气可用于生产化肥的关键成分氨。它还可以产生满足当地需求的能源能力，包括为国内制造业和冶炼部门脱碳，并为偏远人口提供能源。

由世界银行能源部门管理援助方案(ESMAP)主持的H4D伙伴关系的主要活动将包括： 

* 召集国际合作，为发展中国家增加低碳氢气技术的知识基础；  

* 通过遵循全球公共产品方针建设能力；  

* 了解新兴市场和私营部门对部署低碳氢气及其衍生品的要求；  

* 为创新和新技术的曝光度创造机会；  

* 就在各国部署低碳氢能源开展政策对话；  

* 促进与私营部门合作伙伴在清洁氢气项目方面的合作。

World Bank Group creates global low-carbon hydrogen tie-up

The World Bank Group has created the Hydrogen for Development Partnership (H4D), a new global initiative to boost the deployment of low-carbon hydrogen in developing countries. The announcement was made on November 15, Energy Day, at COP27.

H4D will help catalyse significant financing for hydrogen investments in the next few years, both from public and private sources. The partnership will foster capacity building and regulatory solutions, business models, and technologies toward the roll out of low-carbon hydrogen in developing countries. 

Through H4D, developing countries will gain further access to concessional financing and technical assistance to scale up hydrogen projects. 

Significant role

“Low-carbon hydrogen can have a significant role in countries seeking to accelerate their clean energy transition,” said David Malpass, President of the World Bank Group. “Our new hydrogen partnership will enable developing countries to prepare low-carbon hydrogen projects and boost energy security and resilience for their people while lowering emissions.”

Low-carbon hydrogen offers a solution to decarbonise heavy industries that produce more than 25% of global CO2 emissions, for which there is presently no viable alternative to fossil fuels. Low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen fuel can become a viable replacement for diesel in transportation. Hydrogen also has the potential to provide long-term energy storage options and bolster the reliability of renewable energies with variable outputs, like solar photovoltaics and wind. 

Export revenues

For low- and middle-income countries, low-carbon hydrogen has the potential to generate export revenues, creating a value-added export sector that generates jobs for skilled labour and helps promote food security, since hydrogen can be used to produce ammonia, a key component of fertilisers.? It can also generate energy capacity to meet local needs, including decarbonising in-country manufacturing and smelting sectors, and provide energy access to remote populations. 

The main activities of the H4D partnership, to be hosted in the Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP) of the World Bank, will include: 

*Convening international cooperation to increase the knowledge base in low-carbon hydrogen technologies for developing countries. 

*Building capacities by following a global public goods approach. 

*Understanding requirements from emerging markets and the private sector for the deployment of low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives. 

*Creating opportunities to inform innovation and for new technologies to gain visibility. 

*Generating policy dialogue on enabling the deployment of low-carbon hydrogen across countries. 

*Fostering collaboration with private sector partners for clean hydrogen projects.
