EPA调查Snowy Hydro的2B猎人电力项目, 调查气味和健康投诉、测试问题及推迟的绿色氢目标。 EPA probes Snowy Hydro’s $2B Hunter Power Project over odor and health complaints, testing issues, and delayed green hydrogen goals.

美国环保署正在调查 Snowy Hydro 位于 Kurri Kurri 的 20 亿美元的 Hunter Power 项目，此前 7 月中旬的测试引发了亨特地区居民对强烈柴油气味和健康担忧的报告。 The EPA is investigating Snowy Hydro’s $2 billion Hunter Power Project in Kurri Kurri after mid-July testing triggered reports of strong diesel-like odors and health concerns from residents across the Hunter region. 该厂的设计是用柴油备份燃气运行,在需求高峰期间仅运行5%的时间,需要进行持续的排放监测。 The plant, designed to run on gas with diesel backup and operate only 5% of the time during peak demand, was required to conduct continuous emissions monitoring. 尽管修订了测试程序并改进了沟通,但环保局继续调查潜在的环境违规行为,可能采取的管制行动尚待采取。 Despite revised testing procedures and improved communication, the EPA continues its probe into potential environmental violations, with possible regulatory action pending. 该项目旨在取代Liddell煤炭厂,在绿色氢气雄心方面面临拖延,最初的目标是在发射时使用30%的氢,到2030年时100%的氢气,现在被认为不可行,最初的作业仅限于15%的氢气混合。 The project, intended to replace the Liddell coal plant, faces delays in its green hydrogen ambitions, with the original goal of 30% hydrogen use at launch and 100% by 2030 now deemed unfeasible, limiting initial operations to a 15% hydrogen-gas blend.
