據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)8月25日消息稱，周四，氫燃料電池制造商Plug Power Inc.與亞馬遜公司簽署了一項供應(yīng)液態(tài)綠色氫的協(xié)議，推動這家公司的股價在早盤交易中上漲超過12%。

綠色氫經(jīng)常被譽為能源的未來，因為這種靈活且零排放的燃料可用于運輸和發(fā)電。

亞馬遜表示，從2025年開始，Plug Power每年將供應(yīng)10950噸綠色氫，用于替代灰色氫、柴油、化石燃料等。不過，兩家公司沒有透露供應(yīng)價格的細節(jié)。

灰色氫氣由天然氣制成，不存在碳封存，是全球每年生產(chǎn)9000萬噸氫氣的主要來源。

亞馬遜表示，這項綠色氫氣協(xié)議將每年為3萬輛叉車或800輛重型卡車提供足夠的動力。

這家全球最大的在線零售商表示，它使用氫氣為1.5萬多臺燃料電池驅(qū)動的叉車提供動力，并計劃在三年內(nèi)將這一數(shù)字增加到2萬臺。

Plug表示，與亞馬遜的交易將幫助該公司實現(xiàn)2025年收入30億美元的目標。

Amazon Signs Green Hydrogen Supply Deal with Plug Power

Plug Power Inc. has signed a deal with Amazon.com Inc. to supply liquid green hydrogen, the companies said on Thursday, sending the hydrogen fuel cell maker's shares up over 12% in early trade.

Green hydrogen is often touted as the future of energy, as the flexible and zero-emission fuel can be used for transportation and electricity generation.

Amazon said Plug Power will supply 10,950 tons of green hydrogen every year starting 2025 that it will use to replace grey hydrogen, diesel, and other fossil fuels. The companies, however, did not divulge the supply pricing specifics.

Grey hydrogen is made from natural gas, without the carbon sequestration, and makes up the bulk of the 90 million tonnes of hydrogen produced globally every year.

The green hydrogen deal will provide enough annual power for 30,000 forklifts or 800 heavy-duty trucks, Amazon said.

The world's largest online retailer said that it uses hydrogen to power over 15,000 fuel-cell propelled forklifts, and plans to increase that number to 20,000 units in three years.

Plug said the Amazon deal will help the company grow towards its goal of $3 billion in revenue in 2025.
