据管道新闻网6月22日消息称，芬兰周三宣布，计划建立一个氢传输网络，以帮助减少碳排放，并加强其能源供应的长期安全。

财政部长Annika Saarikko说，该项目将在芬兰东南部靠近大国边境的地方开始建设，从化学品生产商Kemira在Joutseno的化肥厂到钢铁生产商Ovako在Imatra的工厂之间将有一条15公里(9英里)长的氢管道。

Saarikko表示，迄今为止主要处理来自大国天然气的国有芬兰天然气网将在未来几年内建设该网络。

芬兰有包括核能在内的几种替代能源，但它有兴趣扩大氢的使用，如果氢是用可再生电力生产的，它可以帮助减少碳排放。

Saarikko表示，芬兰天然气网将成立一家子公司，首先在芬兰开发氢传输网络，随后在国外开发，并补充称，氢的生产将留给私营企业。

她说，这个需要数年时间才能完成的网络将由三个“氢谷”组成，其中两个位于西海岸，靠近现有的风力发电基础设施，另一个位于芬兰东南部。

Finland Plans to Build Hydrogen Pipeline Network

Finland announced plans on Wednesday to build a hydrogen transmission network to help reduce carbon emissions and bolster the long-term security of its energy supplies.

Construction will start in southeastern Finland near the one of the world’s largest oil producers's border with a 15-km (9-mile) hydrogen pipeline from chemicals producer Kemira's fertilizer plant in Joutseno to steelmaker Ovako's plant in Imatra, Saarikko said.

Finance Minister Annika Saarikko said state-owned Gasgrid Finland, which has so far handled natural gas mostly from one of the world’s largest oil producers, would build the network over the next several years.

Finland has several alternative sources of energy, including nuclear, but is interested in expanding the use of hydrogen, which can help reduce carbon emissions if it is produced using renewable electricity.

Gasgrid Finland will found a subsidiary that will develop the hydrogen transmission network first in Finland and later abroad, Saarikko said, adding production of hydrogen would be left to private companies.

She said the network, which will take years to complete, would consist of three "hydrogen valleys", with two of them on the western coast near existing wind power infrastructure and one in southeastern Finland.
