Here’s what you need to know about hydrogen:
美国.S. 美国能源部(DOE) 最近宣布 the historic investment of $7 billion to fund the country’s first 清洁的氢 hubs. Two of the seven proposed regional hubs will be in California 和 德州, where Sempra companies have vast energy networks 和 are 具备良好的条件 来帮助发展 清洁的氢 经济.
预计将拨款逾10亿美元予可再生清洁氢能源系统联盟(拱门), 加州氢枢纽 where Sempra California’s SoCalGas is a proud collaborator ready to leverage its 氢的创新. 另外, more than $1 billion is expected to be allocated to HyVelocity, Sempra基础设施是墨西哥湾沿岸的七个核心行业合作伙伴之一.
What is hydrogen 和 why is it important?
氢是宇宙中最丰富的元素，由于其多用途和可持续的特性，它在低碳能源结构中发挥着重要作用. 当使用可再生能源生产氢气时，氢气可以零排放地生产和消耗. 它也可以从天然气中产生，以创造一种低排放的气体，可以补充可再生能源，以帮助进一步推进 全球能源转型 在进行中.
From providing a potential solution to the renewable energy storage dilemma, to supporting the transition to low- 和 zero-e任务 车辆, hydrogen technology holds great promise for our cleaner energy future.
森普拉加州公用事业公司 SoCalGas 和 西班牙&E 正在参与20多个氢研究和示范项目，旨在提高 网格弹性 和帮助 除去碳素 经济.
Developing necessary infrastructure
一旦可再生能源转化为氢，它需要安全储存和运输. Due to the large amount of renewable generation in California, utilizing the extensive 天然气 管道网络是储存和运输氢气的一种有吸引力且具有可扩展性的选择.
当所有利益相关者聚集在区域中心时，美国能源部指定和资助的氢中心将加速氢的使用. Each hub is expected to be supported by businesses that will produce, 过程, deliver 和 store hydrogen before it goes to consumers, 比如难以消退 行业, including the 交通行业. 然而, 现代基础设施 is the key enabler of the hydrogen 经济.
Sempra companies have significant expertise in building, 管理和运营管道基础设施——推进氢经济所必需的基础设施. In addition to upstream production facilities, the hydrogen industry needs pipelines, 储存和潜在的进出口终端，以满足随着世界各国寻求脱碳而可能出现的全球氢市场.
实现更清洁的交通
The energy transition will need to address the 交通行业, which is the largest contributor to greenhouse gases in California. 这就是为什么我们正在积极探索氢和燃料电池电动汽车如何提供比汽油驱动的汽车更环保的选择.
Fuel cells are two to three times more efficient than gasoline, according to the U.S. 能源情报署. With a much longer range 和 shorter fueling time compared with battery electric 车辆, 燃料电池电动汽车有潜力成为能源转型和氢经济的重要组成部分.
SoCalGas is 在进行中 advancing fuel cell technology 和 was previously awarded 700万美元的资金 以推进低排放车辆技术，如为卡车和公共汽车提供动力的燃料电池技术.
推进能源转型
我们相信能源的未来是 干净的电子 和 cleaner molecules working in t和em — 和 hydrogen fits squarely in the mix. 穿过森普拉 公司家族, we are committed to furthering the energy transition across North America through 创新 在氢技术等方面.
