據阿拉伯貿易網11月16日沙姆沙伊赫報道， 世界銀行集團創建了“氫能發展伙伴關系”(H4D)，這是一項新的全球倡議，旨在促進發展中國家使用低碳氫能。這一消息是在11月15日COP27能源日上宣布的。

H4D將有助于催化未來幾年氫能投資的重大融資，包括來自公共和私人來源的融資。這個伙伴關系將促進能力建設和監管解決方案、商業模式和技術，以便在發展中國家推廣低碳氫氣。

通過H4D，發展中國家將進一步獲得優惠融資和技術援助，以擴大氫能項目的規模。

重要的角色

世界銀行集團總裁David Malpass說：“低碳氫氣可以在尋求加快清潔能源轉型的國家中發揮重要作用。” “我們新的氫能伙伴關系將使發展中國家能夠準備低碳氫氣項目，在降低排放的同時提高其人民的能源安全和抗風險能力。”

低碳氫氣為重工業的脫碳提供了一個解決方案，這些重工業的二氧化碳排放量占全球的25%以上，目前還沒有化石燃料的可行替代品。低成本、低碳的氫燃料可以成為柴油運輸的可行替代品。 氫氣也有可能提供長期的能源儲存選擇，并提高可再生能源的可靠性，如太陽能光伏和風能。

出口收入  

對于低收入和中等收入國家來說，低碳氫氣有可能產生出口收入，創造一個附加值的出口部門，為熟練工人創造就業機會，并有助于促進糧食安全，因為氫氣可用于生產化肥的關鍵成分氨。它還可以產生滿足當地需求的能源能力，包括為國內制造業和冶煉部門脫碳，并為偏遠人口提供能源。

由世界銀行能源部門管理援助方案(ESMAP)主持的H4D伙伴關系的主要活動將包括： 

* 召集國際合作，為發展中國家增加低碳氫氣技術的知識基礎；  

* 通過遵循全球公共產品方針建設能力；  

* 了解新興市場和私營部門對部署低碳氫氣及其衍生品的要求；  

* 為創新和新技術的曝光度創造機會；  

* 就在各國部署低碳氫能源開展政策對話；  

* 促進與私營部門合作伙伴在清潔氫氣項目方面的合作。

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.
