據(jù)管道新聞網6月22日消息稱，芬蘭周三宣布，計劃建立一個氫傳輸網絡，以幫助減少碳排放，并加強其能源供應的長期安全。

財政部長Annika Saarikko說，該項目將在芬蘭東南部靠近大國邊境的地方開始建設，從化學品生產商Kemira在Joutseno的化肥廠到鋼鐵生產商Ovako在Imatra的工廠之間將有一條15公里(9英里)長的氫管道。

Saarikko表示，迄今為止主要處理來自大國天然氣的國有芬蘭天然氣網將在未來幾年內建設該網絡。

芬蘭有包括核能在內的幾種替代能源，但它有興趣擴大氫的使用，如果氫是用可再生電力生產的，它可以幫助減少碳排放。

Saarikko表示，芬蘭天然氣網將成立一家子公司，首先在芬蘭開發(fā)氫傳輸網絡，隨后在國外開發(fā)，并補充稱，氫的生產將留給私營企業(yè)。

她說，這個需要數(shù)年時間才能完成的網絡將由三個“氫谷”組成，其中兩個位于西海岸，靠近現(xiàn)有的風力發(fā)電基礎設施，另一個位于芬蘭東南部。

Finland Plans to Build Hydrogen Pipeline Network

Finland announced plans on Wednesday to build a hydrogen transmission network to help reduce carbon emissions and bolster the long-term security of its energy supplies.

Construction will start in southeastern Finland near the one of the world’s largest oil producers's border with a 15-km (9-mile) hydrogen pipeline from chemicals producer Kemira's fertilizer plant in Joutseno to steelmaker Ovako's plant in Imatra, Saarikko said.

Finance Minister Annika Saarikko said state-owned Gasgrid Finland, which has so far handled natural gas mostly from one of the world’s largest oil producers, would build the network over the next several years.

Finland has several alternative sources of energy, including nuclear, but is interested in expanding the use of hydrogen, which can help reduce carbon emissions if it is produced using renewable electricity.

Gasgrid Finland will found a subsidiary that will develop the hydrogen transmission network first in Finland and later abroad, Saarikko said, adding production of hydrogen would be left to private companies.

She said the network, which will take years to complete, would consist of three "hydrogen valleys", with two of them on the western coast near existing wind power infrastructure and one in southeastern Finland.
