据7月12日Trade Arabia消息：西门子已在德国Wunsiedel举行正式的奠基仪式，标志着该国最大绿色制氢厂之一的开工建设，该工厂的装机容量为8.75兆瓦。
该设施将仅使用太阳能或风能等可再生能源，每年生产多达1350吨的氢气。将产生的氢气用于交通和工业，每年可减少13500二氧化碳。
西门子智能基础设施是整个工厂的总承包商，西门子金融服务公司(SFS)参与了股权融资，并持有运营公司WUN H2 45%的股份。电解槽将由西门子能源公司提供。
德国经济部长Hubert Aiwanger说:“WUN H2项目是对实施巴伐利亚氢战略的重要贡献。‘巴伐利亚制造’的绿色氢展示了国内技术专长，并通过本地价值创造提高了接受度。”
环境事务部长Thorsten Glauber补充道:“氢是实现气候中和未来道路上的一项关键技术。能源转型只有在有许多创新方法的情况下才会成功，就像Wunsiedel所追求的那样。”
根据经合组织最近的一项分析，到2050年，全球能源需求预计将增长80%。在应对气候变化挑战的同时满足这一需求将需要在清洁能源发电、配电和数字化方面进行大规模投资。为此，包括交通和工业在内的所有高耗能部门都必须大力推进脱碳工作。
该工厂将建在Wunsiedel能源园区，并与现有的西门子电池储存设施和邻近的工业企业相连。它们可以利用废热，或者电解过程中分离出来的氧气。这种联网的基础设施将成为整个德国的典范。
“将我们的能源供应转换为新的、气候中和的能源是能源转型的主要目标之一。氢在其中发挥着关键作用，”西门子首席财务官Ralf P. Thomas教授在奠基仪式上说。“在这方面，Wunsiedel通过其现有的分布式能源系统和数字技术的使用，是可持续能源未来的灯塔项目。”
对于西门子来说，数字化和可持续性正日益成为业务活动的焦点。在一次面向投资者的活动中，西门子提出了其新的“学位”框架，以实现对环境、社会和治理问题的可持续承诺。
新的制氢厂计划在2022年夏季投产。

German Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger said: “The WUN H2 project is an important contribution to implementing Bavaria’s hydrogen strategy. Green hydrogen ‘Made in Bavaria’ demonstrates domestic technological expertise and increases acceptance through local value creation.”

Meeting this demand while addressing the challenges of climate change will require massive investments in clean energy generation, power distribution, and digitalization. To this end, all energy-consuming sectors, including transportation and industry, must push ahead with their decarbonization efforts.
The plant will be constructed at Wunsiedel Energy Park and connected to the existing Siemens battery storage facility and adjacent industrial enterprises. These can use waste heat, or the oxygen split off during electrolysis. This connected infrastructure will serve as a model for the whole of Germany.
“Converting our energy supply to new, climate-neutral energy sources is align="justify"> For Siemens, digitalization and sustainability are increasingly becoming the focus of business activities. At an event for investors, Siemens had presented its new “Degree” framework for sustainable commitment to environmental, social and governance issues.
The new hydrogen production plant is scheduled to go into operation in the summer of 2022.
