日本出光公司与JERA将合作在日本建立氢供应链

据安迅思能源6月16日消息称，Globalhydrogenreview表示，日本出光和JERA公司今天签署了一份谅解备忘录 (MoU)，规定他们将共同考虑在伊势湾地区建立氢供应链。

由于对脱碳的需求，氢（燃烧时不产生二氧化碳）有望作为下一代化石燃料的替代品在发电厂和工业领域大量使用。因此，在有氢气需求的地区附近建立大规模的接收和供应基地至关重要。

伊势湾地区是众多产业集中的地区，未来有可能成为大规模的接收和供应基地。出光在该地区从事原油接收、提炼和石油产品供应业务。同时，JERA在该地区拥有火力发电厂和液化天然气接收站，并努力确保中部地区电力的稳定供应。

出光和JERA将利用他们积累的技术、知识和资产，为建立稳定、经济的氢供应链作出贡献，作为实现碳中和努力的一部分。两家公司还将与“中部氢气利用研究小组”合作，该小组正在努力在整个中部地区建立跨行业的氢气供应链。

Idemitsu and JERA agree to jointly consider establishing a hydrogen supply chain based in Japan

Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. and JERA Co., Inc. have today concluded a memorandum of understanding (MoU) stipulating that they will jointly consider establishing a hydrogen supply chain based in the Ise Bay area, said Globalhydrogenreview.

On the back of demand for decarbonisation, hydrogen—which emits no CO2when burned—is expected to be used in large quantities at power plants and in industrial areas as a next-generation replacement for fossil fuels. It is essential, therefore, to develop large-scale receiving and supply bases near areas where hydrogen will be in demand.

The Ise Bay area, where many industries are concentrated, has the future potential to become a large-scale receiving and supply base. Idemitsu is engaged in the business of receiving and refining crude oil and supplying petroleum products in the area. JERA, meanwhile, owns thermal power plants and LNG receiving terminals in the area and strives to ensure a stable supply of electricity in the Chubu region.

Idemitsu and JERA will utilise their accumulated technology, knowledge, and assets to contribute to the establishment of a stable, economical supply chain for hydrogen as part of their efforts to achieve carbon neutrality. The two companies will also cooperate with “Hydrogen Utilisation Study Group in Chubu”, which is working to establish cross-industrial hydrogen supply chain throughout the Chubu region.
