???? 據管道&天然氣雜志網2月22日墨爾本報道，在全球推進清潔能源的進程中，澳大利亞天然氣管道所有者正在努力證明其價值750億澳元(合590億美元)的資產，他們正在測試將氫與天然氣混合，生產綠色甲烷以取代化石燃料。

????管道和網絡所有者已經承諾向一系列涉及綠色氫的項目投入1.8億澳元。

????澳大利亞各州承諾到2050年實現凈零碳排放，與許多發達國家保持一致，但堪培拉尚未承諾2050年的時間表。

????香港CK集團旗下澳大利亞天然氣基礎設施集團(AGIG)首席執行官本?威爾遜(Ben Wilson)表示，這是一種我們都需要管理的商業風險。

????他告訴路透社稱，從防御開始，就已經成為一個機會，尤其是考慮到我們的可再生能源。我們可以成為世界上最大的綠色氫出口國。

????為氫項目尋求政府資助的管道所有者，旨在展示他們的基礎設施如何能夠用于輸送氫與天然氣的混合，并將氫作為一種可再生能源存儲形式儲存。

????澳大利亞能源網絡(Energy Networks Australia)天然氣業務主管丹尼斯?范?普伊維爾德(Dennis Van Puyvelde)表示，說到底，我們還是認為，繼續使用這種基礎設施可以使整個經濟以較低的成本脫碳。

????去年為該行業機構所做的一項研究發現，要在2050年前實現凈零排放，建設一個氫分銷網絡的成本將是擴大電力網絡的一半，以服務目前依賴天然氣的企業和行業，并為澳大利亞節省約130億澳元。

????管道公司正在努力縮短到2050年的時間，因為一些州正在推動到2030年天然氣管道中氫的含量達到10%。

????Australian Gas Networks Looking to Include Hydrogen in Infrastructure

????Australia's natural gas pipeline owners are working to future proof their A$75 billion ($59 billion) in assets amid a global push towards clean energy, running tests to blend hydrogen with gas and produce green methane to replace the fossil fuel.

????Pipeline and network owners have already committed A$180 million to a range of projects involving green hydrogen.

????Australian states have pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, in line with many developed countries, but Canberra has yet to commit to the 2050 timeframe.

????"It's a business risk we all need to manage," said Ben Wilson, chief executive of Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG), owned by units of Hong Kong-based CK Group.

????"What started out as defensive has become an opportunity, particularly given our renewable energy sources. We can become the world's largest exporter of green hydrogen," he told Reuters.

????Pipeline owners seeking government funding for hydrogen projects aim to show how their infrastructure can be used to deliver hydrogen in blends with gas and store hydrogen as a form of renewable energy storage.

????"At the end of the day, we also think that continuing to use this infrastructure allows the whole economy to decarbonize at a lower cost," said Dennis Van Puyvelde, head of gas for Energy Networks Australia.

????A study done for the industry body last year found that to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, building a hydrogen distribution network would cost half as much as expanding power networks to serve businesses and industries that currently rely on gas, and save Australia some A$13 billion.

????Pipeline companies are working on a shorter time frame than 2050, as some states are pushing to have 10% hydrogen in gas pipelines by 2030.
