据Emerging Risks4月13日报道，大阪燃气公司将为澳大利亚内陆一个110亿美元的绿色氢气项目提供技术支持，并将考虑未来的潜在投资。
耗资107.5亿美元的Desert Bloom 制氢项目。在新加坡Sanguine lmact投资集团的支持下，该项目将使用一种独特的技术从空气中吸取水分，并利用太阳能将水分解，在北领地的沙漠中制造绿色氢——可再生能源产生的氢。
去年12月，澳大利亚北领地政府授予该项目“重大项目”地位，使其进入了获得批准的快速通道。
大阪燃气公司已同意参与项目管理，为该项目提供工程和技术支持。该项目开发商Aqua Aerem表示，该公司负责管理氢气销售，并与设备制造商进行谈判。
这家日本公用事业公司的一名发言人表示“我们未来可能会投资这个项目，但目前还没有具体的投资计划”，并补充称，该公司将利用其在天然气生产和氢相关业务方面的专业知识，提供技术支持。
她说:“我们也希望通过参与这个项目，获得有关氢开发的新知识。”
如果按计划进行，该项目可能成为澳大利亚第一个绿色氢燃料生产商，计划于2023年启动，而其他许多项目仍在进行可行性研究。
Desert Bloom项目将从小型开始，使用Aqua Aerem公司的2兆瓦生产单元，该公司表示，这些单元可以从空气中产生水，并产生热量、可再生电力和绿色氢。
该公司在去年12月表示，最初的工作将耗资10亿澳元(约合7.43亿美元)，每天将生产1000千克的氢燃料，相当于该项目第一阶段目标的2%。
为了实现每年41万吨供当地使用和出口的氢的目标，最终该项目将扩大到4000个模块化单元，从而降低生产成本。
Aqua Aerem主席David Green在一份声明中说，Desert Bloom项目将以国际客户愿意支付的出口价格生产绿色氢——五年内每千克不到2美元。

Japan's Osaka Gas backs $11 billion Australian green hydrogen project
Osaka Gas Co will provide technical support for an $11 billion green hydrogen project in the Australian outback and will consider potential investment in future
The $10.75 billion Desert Bloom Hydrogen project. backed by Singapore-based Sanguine lmpact Investment Group, will use a unique technology to suck water out of the air and solar power to split the water to make green hydrogen - hydrogen generated by renewable energy - in the Northern Territory's desert.
The Northern Territory government awarded the project "major project" status in December, putting it on a fast track for obtaining approvals.
Osaka Gas has agreed to contribute project management. engineering and technica support for the project. manage hydrogen sales and negotiate with equipment manufacturers, the project's developer, Aqua Aerem, said.
“We may invest in the project in the future, but there is no concrete investment plan from our end now," a spokesperson at the Japanese utility said, adding it will provide technical support by leveraging its expertise in gas production and hydrogen-related businesses.
“We also hope to gain new knowledge about hydrogen development through our participation in this project," she said
If it goes ahead as planned, the project could be the first producer of green hydrogen in Australia, planning to start up in2023, while a raft of other projects are still running feasibility studies.
Desert Bloom will start small, using Aqua Aerem's 2 megawatt production units, which the company says can generate water from the air, and produce heat, renewable electricity and green hydrogen.
The initial work, which the company said in December would cost A$1 billion ($743 million), will produce 1.000 kg/day of hydrogen, or 2% of the project's full stage 1 target.
Eventually. to get to its target of 410.000 tonnes a year of hydrogen for local use and exports, the project will scale up to4,000 modular units, driving down production costs.
Desert Bloom will be on track to produce green hydrogen at an export price international customers want to pay - less than $2/kg within five years," Aqua Aerem chairman David Green said in a statement.
