據(jù)氫能源新聞5月11日消息稱，5月7日，美國能源開發(fā)商新堡壘能源公司宣布，計劃從開發(fā)綠色氫技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)向開發(fā)藍(lán)色氨和可再生燃料技術(shù)。
由億萬富翁Wes Edens共同創(chuàng)立的新堡壘能源公司，最初在美國、美洲和其它新興市場以小型液化技術(shù)開發(fā)商的身份成立。
然而，在5月7日發(fā)布的2021年第一季度盈利報告中，新堡壘能源的高管表示，公司打算與堡壘交通和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施(FTAI)成立一家合資企業(yè)，該合資企業(yè)由堡壘投資集團管理，該集團與新堡壘能源是同一家母公司。
Edens在5月7日的收益報告中表示，該公司曾關(guān)注過綠色氫技術(shù)，并投資了一家以色列的電解槽公司，但他表示，“在我看來，綠色氫業(yè)務(wù)在商業(yè)上并不可行。”
他說，盡管政府支持綠色氫，這是有希望的，但新堡壘卻想推行兩項清潔燃料計劃。
Edens表示，新堡壘的新子公司Zero Parks將專注于開發(fā)可再生燃料和藍(lán)氨項目，這兩個項目均可在未來兩到三個月內(nèi)做出最終投資決定（FID）。
可再生燃料項目將利用動物脂肪、廢棄食用油和其他生物質(zhì)的再生材料制造可再生柴油，而另一個項目將專注于蒸汽甲烷重整(SMR)和碳捕獲來制造藍(lán)色氫，而不是使用可再生能源來制造綠氫。

US developer New Fortress Energy swivels focus to blue hydrogen
US energy developer New Fortress Energy announced on 7 May it plans to pivot from developing green hydrogen technologies and instead focus solely on blue ammonia and renewable fuels technologies.
New Fortress Energy, co-founded by billionaire Wes Edens, first launched itself as a developer of small-scale liquefaction in the US, Americas and other emerging markets.
However, in a first-quarter 2021 earnings announcement on 7 May, New Fortress Energy executives said the company intends to launch a joint venture with Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure (FTAI), which is managed by Fortress Investment Group, the same parent company as New Fortress Energy.
Edens said during the 7 May earnings presentation that the company had looked at green hydrogen technologies and invested in an Israel-based electrolyzer company but said that “green hydrogen businesses, in my opinion today, are not commercially viable.”
He said that while governments are supportive of green hydrogen, which was promising, New Fortress instead wanted to pursue two initiatives for clean fuels.
New Fortress’ new subsidiary, known as Zero Parks, will focus on developing a renewable fuels and a blue ammonia project that both could make a final investment decision (FID) in the next two to three months, Edens said.
The renewable fuels project would create renewable diesel from repurposed materials such as animal fats, used cooking oil and other biomass, while the other would focus on steam methane reforming (SMR) and carbon capture to create blue hydrogen, instead of using renewable power to create green hydrogen.
