Renewable energy credits, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and decarbonization. These three things are to play central roles in a new agreement that Shell and Baker Hughes announced on Wednesday.
可再生能源额度、液化天然气（LNG）和脱碳，这三件事是壳牌和贝克休斯周三宣布的新协议中的重点。
The Dutch supermajor and Houston-based service company, long-time partners on mostly oil and gas developments, said their “broader collaboration” will help both companies achieve a net-zero status by 2050.
总部位于休斯敦的荷兰超级大型服务公司壳牌是多数油气开发项目的长期合作伙伴。该公司表示，他们“更广泛的合作”将帮助两家公司在2050年前实现零净值。
Shell said it will kick the collaboration off by giving Baker Hughes power and renewable energy credits for selected sites in the US over the next 2 years. This move is expected to raise Baker Hughes’ total annual use of renewable energy from 22% to 24%.
壳牌称，将在未来两年内为美国选定的地点提供贝克休斯公司的电力和可再生能源额度，从而启动这项合作。此举预计将使贝克休斯公司每年可再生能源的使用率从22%提高到24%。
The two companies will also negotiate for up to 100 GWh of renewable power for Baker Hughes’ facilities in Europe. In Singapore, the firms are considering building a solar power facility at a Baker Hughes chemical blending plant.
两家公司还将为了贝克休斯在欧洲的设施进行额度高达100GWh的可再生能源的谈判。在新加坡，两家公司正在考虑在贝克休斯的化工厂建设太阳能设施。
Other parts of the agreement are more open-ended but could see Shell supplying Baker Hughes with its line of lower-carbon transportation and fuel products.
该协议的其他部分更具开放性，但可能会看到壳牌向贝克休斯供应其低碳运输线和燃料产品。
At the same time, Shell is to review Baker Hughes’ catalog for technologies that might lower the carbon footprint of the supermajor’s LNG facilities. Shell said it will also consider using more of the service company’s software solutions to aid in its companywide decarbonization effort.
与此同时，壳牌将重新审查贝克休斯的技术目录，以寻找可能降低这家超级巨头液化天然气设施碳足迹的技术。壳牌表示，它还将考虑使用该服务公司更多的软件解决方案，以帮助公司全面脱碳。
Shell and Baker Hughes added that they are seeking business opportunities that may include co-investing in new ventures and working together on “new models” to decarbonize the energy and industrial sectors.
壳牌和贝克休斯补充称，它们正在寻找商业机会，可能包括共同投资新企业，以及合作开发“新模式”，以实现使能源和工业部门脱碳。
Running Toward Hydrogen
对于氢行业
In separate developments, both Shell and Baker Hughes also announced this week new investments in the hydrogen production sector.
另外，壳牌和贝克休斯本周还宣布了对制氢行业的新投资。
Through its renewable and new energy investment arm, Shell and Norwegian aluminum and energy producer Norsk Hydro shared plans on 9 November to “explore the potential for joint projects producing hydrogen from renewable electricity.”
通过其可再生能源和新能源投资部门，壳牌和挪威铝和能源生产商Norsk Hydro于11月9日分享了“探索利用可再生电力生产氢气的联合项目的潜力”的计划。
The focus of the Shell and Norsk Hydro agreement will be the potential use of renewable energy hubs already near their operations to generate green hydrogen. The aim is to use clean-burning fuel to meet their own operational demands and eventually scale up the supply to meet that of other European markets where green hydrogen could be used in heavy industry, maritime, and for road transport.
壳牌和Norsk Hydro协议的重点将是利用已经在其运营地址附近的可再生能源中心来生产绿色氢气的潜力。其目的是使用清洁燃料来满足其自身的运营需求，并最终扩大供应以满足其他欧洲市场的需求，在这些市场中，绿色氢可用于重工业、海运和公路运输。
Baker Hughes’s latest foray into the hydrogen market was also announced 9 November and involves an investment in Vancouver, Canada-based Ekona Power. A release described Ekona as a “growth stage company” that has developed a turquoise hydrogen production system that employs methane pyrolysis to split, or crack, hydrogen molecules from the feedstock gas inside a reactor.
贝克休斯公司于11月9日宣布了进军氢市场的最新计划，该计划涉及对总部位于加拿大温哥华的Ekona Power的投资。在一份声明中，Ekona 被描述为一家“成长阶段公司”，该公司开发了一套绿松石制氢系统，利用甲烷热解，从反应器内的原料气中分离或裂解出氢分子。
Key to Ekona’s technology is its ability to yield solid carbon from the methane, thus “drastically reducing carbon dioxide emissions versus the traditional and prevalent stream methane reforming process,” the companies said in a joint release.
两家公司在一份联合声明中表示，Ekona技术的关键是它能够从甲烷中生产固体碳，因此“与传统和流行的甲烷重整工艺相比，大幅减少了二氧化碳排放量”。
总结：石油与天然气的超级巨头和服务公司壳牌与贝克休斯表示，他们正在探索适应能源转型的新模式，他们本周还分别宣布了进军氢气市场的新计划。主要在可再生能源、液化天然气（LNG）和脱碳方面，重点将是利用已经在其运营地址附近的可再生能源中心来生产绿色氢气的潜力。
