BP and GE to Develop Hydrogen Power Plants and Technologies

BP和GE聯合開發氫能發電廠和技術

LONDON, July 18, 2006--BP and GE today announced their intention to jointly develop and deploy hydrogen power projects that dramatically reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from electricity generation. Vivienne Cox, BP's Chief Executive of Gas, Power and Renewables, and David L. Calhoun, Vice Chairman of GE and president and CEO of GE Infrastructure, signed the agreement today in London.

倫敦7月18日消息——BP和GE 今天宣布他們聯合開發和展開氫氣發電項目計劃
，從而可以極大減少發電產生的溫室氣體二氧化碳的排放。BP公司氣體、能源和可再生能源部首席執行官Vivienne Cox 和 GE副總裁兼GE基礎組織部主席及首席執行官David L. Calhoun今天在倫敦簽署了合作協議。

The world will continue to make extensive use of fossil fuels, such as natural gas and coal, for power generation for the foreseeable future, but technology now allows this to be done more cleanly by creating hydrogen from fossil fuels while capturing and sequestering the carbon as carbon dioxide in deep geological formations. To facilitate this advancement, BP and GE will collaborate on power, carbon capture and sequestration technologies.

"The combination of our two companies' skills and resources in this area is formidable, and is the latest example of our intent to make a real difference in the face of the challenge of climate change," said BP's Vivienne Cox. "BP and GE's strategic approaches to developing increasingly cleaner, lower carbon power options are closely aligned and our skills and strengths are highly complementary."

Vivienne Cox表示：“womenliangjiagongsizaizhelingyujishuheziyuandelianheshifeichangqiangdade，erqiezheshiwomenjuexindeyigezuixinxiezhao

"Tomorrow's energy mix will include hydrogen - and GE and BP are taking the lead in ensuring progress begins today," said David Calhoun of GE. "This initiative will demonstrate that our companies' leading-edge technologies can make hydrogen production efficient, reliable, and economical for large-scale, commercial power production. Our financial strength will ensure it happens now globally, changing the way we envision our energy future."

David Calhoun則表示：“未來的能源混合將包括氫能

，而BP和GE正領導確保著這一進步從現在開始。這一首創將表明我們兩家公司的尖端技術可以為大型的商用發電實現高效
、可靠而經濟的氫能發電。我們的財政實力將確保它現在全球範圍實現，改變我們預想未來能源的觀念。”

BP has already announced plans for two such hydrogen power projects with carbon capture and sequestration in Scotland and California, both of which will use GE technology. Subject to appropriate regulatory and fiscal regimes being in place, and necessary due diligence, the companies have an ambition to progress 10 to 15 further projects over the next decade, including the plants in Scotland and California. Subject to further exploration, the current expectation is that the most appropriate structure may be through creation of a joint venture to invest in hydrogen power projects and a joint development agreement for development of related technology. As a first step, BP and GE would jointly participate in the two hydrogen power projects with carbon capture and sequestration BP has announced - at Peterhead in Scotland and at Carson in Southern California where Scottish and Southern Energy and Edison Mission Energy are partners respectively.

，這兩個項目的合作夥伴分別是Scottish公司和Southern Energy公司，以及Edison Mission Energy公司。

Such low carbon power projects use fossil fuels such as natural gas, petroleum coke or coal for power generation combined with carbon dioxide capture and storage technology. They generate significant quantities of base-load power while capturing and storing some 90% of the carbon dioxide that would otherwise be emitted, in deep geological formations.

此類低碳電力項目結合二氧化碳采集和存儲技術，利用天然氣
、石化焦碳或者煤等化石燃料發電。它們產生大量的基本載重功率，同時采集和儲存大約90%的從地質組成深處釋放出來的二氧化碳。

BP and GE will apply some of the world's leading technologies, project experience and assets to optimise the integrated design. The collaborative effort will draw upon the companies' technologies and experience in areas such as coal gasification, reforming technology, gas turbines and carbon capture and storage.

BP和GE 將應用一些世界領先的技術

、項目經驗和資產優化綜合設計。該合作項目將利用這兩家公司在多個領域的技術和經驗，例如煤氣化、重整技術、氣體渦輪技術和碳采集和存儲技術。

"The combination of coal gasification and carbon capture and sequestration is crucial for clean coal development and presents great opportunities for countries with substantial reserves of coal such as the USA, China and India," says Lewis Gillies, BP's Director of Hydrogen Power.

BP氫能源部經理Lewis Gillies表示：“煤氣化技術和碳采集和儲存技術的結合對潔淨煤的開發至關重要
，而且給美國、中國和印度等煤儲量豐富的國家帶來了良機。”

"GE and BP are combining our resources to develop economically attractive, breakthrough technologies in the area of hydrogen to power. This will allow power producers to use abundant, low-cost fossil fuel resources to generate electricity with very low carbon dioxide emissions," said Edward Lowe, general manager of GE Energy's gasification business.

GE 能源公司氣化事業部總經理Edward Lowe表示：“GE和BP正在聯合我們的資源
，開發氫能發電領域經濟、引人的突破性技術。這將使得電力生產者可以利用豐富低廉的石化燃料資源發電，而且二氧化碳排放量低。”

In addition to the complementary nature of the technologies and experience of the two companies, the collaboration is expected to be further strengthened by the global reach of each of the partners. GE's operations in Houston and BP's operations in London will form the core groups for the hydrogen power collaboration. 

除了這兩家公司的技術和經驗得到補充
，這項合作預計通過每個合作夥伴的全球延伸得到進一步的加強。GE在休斯頓的運作和BP在倫敦的運作將形成該氫能發電合作項目的核心集團。
