绿氢投资寒潮来袭! 英国石油(BP.US)360亿美元绿氢梦碎 Fortescue与伍德赛德相继抽身

Group 1 - BP is refocusing on its core fossil fuel business and will exit its role in a major green hydrogen production project in Australia [1][2] - The estimated cost of the green hydrogen project was around $36 billion, but BP's strategy has shifted towards more profitable traditional oil and gas sectors after the departure of CEO Bernard Looney [2] - Other energy companies, including Fortescue and Woodside, are also abandoning their green hydrogen ambitions due to high costs and lack of commitment from energy buyers [2][3] Group 2 - Approximately one-third of the announced green hydrogen pipeline projects in Australia have been paused or canceled, primarily due to insufficient buyer commitment [3] - Green hydrogen production relies heavily on low-cost renewable electricity, which currently constitutes 50%-70% of the total production cost [4] - The AREH project aims to install up to 26 GW of solar and wind capacity in a vast area of Western Australia to provide low-cost renewable energy for hydrogen production [4] Group 3 - The International Energy Agency (IEA) suggests that green hydrogen is most valuable for sectors that are hard to electrify, such as steel, chemicals, shipping, and aviation, rather than as a large-scale substitute for fossil fuels [5] - Green hydrogen can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions in steel production by up to 90% when used as a reducing agent instead of coking coal [5]
