据能源经济6月15日消息称，德国和澳大利亚周日签署了一项关于氢生产和贸易的双边联盟，以促进两国间基于可再生能源的氢供应链。
德国经济部在一份声明中称，经济部长Peter Altmaier和教育和研究部长Anja Karliczek与澳大利亚能源和减排部长Angus Taylor签署了一份意向书，以建立“德澳氢协议”。
声明称，此次合作是为了“允许进口相应数量的可持续生产的氢，这是实现我们更严格的气候目标的一个重要因素。”
澳大利亚总理Scott Morrison在一份声明中表示，国际合作是让氢等新能源技术实现商业平价的关键。
Morrison表示：“我们的目标是生产世界上最便宜的清洁氢，这将改变国内外的运输、采矿、资源和制造业。”
包括德国公用事业公司RWE和Uniper在内的大型能源公司已经开始从澳大利亚和其他地方寻找可能的新的氢贸易路线，氢是化石燃料的一种更清洁的替代品。
德国去年夏天启动了 90 亿欧元（109 亿美元）的氢战略，该战略已融入更广泛的欧盟战略是基于这样一个假设：从长远来看，德国大约80%的氢需求可能需要进口。
德国已经联系沙特阿拉伯、加拿大、智利和摩洛哥，寻求可能的供应。
澳大利亚还表示，将与日本联手支持有助于推动各自经济向净零排放转型的举措。

Germany, Australia sign hydrogen accord to boost lower-emissions technology
Germany and Australia align="justify"> Economy Minister Peter Altmaier and Education and Research Minister Anja Karliczek signed a letter of intent to set up a "Germany Australia Hydrogen Accord" with Australian Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor, the German Economy Ministry said in a statement.
It said the cooperation was about enabling "the import of sustainably produced hydrogen in relevant volumes, which is an important factor to reach our tighter climate targets."
In a statement, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said international collaboration was key to getting new energy technologies like hydrogen to commercial parity.
"Our ambition is to produce the cheapest clean hydrogen in the world, which will transform transport, mining, resources and manufacturing at home and overseas," Morrison said.
Big energy firms including German utility RWE and Uniper have started looking into possible new trade routes for hydrogen, a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, from Australia and other places.
Germany's 9 billion-euro ($10.9 billion) hydrogen strategy launched last summer, which is embedded in wider European Union strategies, is based align="justify"> Germany has put out feelers to Saudi Arabia, Canada, Chile and Morocco for possible supplies.
Australia also said it was joining hands with Japan to support initiatives that would help drive their respective economies' transition to net-zero emissions.
