據世界天然氣6月23日消息：荷蘭化肥生產商OCI通過與阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC)的合資企業Fertiglobe，加入了阿聯酋Ruwais的一個全球規模的藍色氨生產項目。

　　Fertiglobe已與該項目開發商TA'ZIZ簽署了參與協議，TA'ZIZ是ADNOC和阿布扎比開發控股公司(ADQ)的合資企業。

　　該計劃中的設施將從氮氣和從天然氣中提取的藍色氫中生產高達1億噸/年的藍色氨。氫氣生產過程中排放的二氧化碳將被捕獲和儲存。

　　OCI表示，在2022年做出最終投資決定之前，該合作伙伴將進行工程設計研究。該工廠將于2025年上線。

　　OCI首席執行官 Nassef Sawiris表示，此次合作“非常符合我們的全球和區域平臺脫碳戰略。它有助于發展我們的低碳和清潔燃料產品，其中包括快速增長的生物燃料業務?！?該協議是在OCI最近公布了德克薩斯州36.5萬噸/年藍氨項目的計劃之后達成的。

　　Sawiris稱，隨著世界轉向清潔能源，氨提供了“巨大的潛力”，并將成為氫經濟的推動者。

　　“氨是一種多用途的清潔氫載體，除了各種化肥和下游工業用途外，還有許多令人興奮的燃料應用。使用氨作為運輸燃料特別有前途，因為它與甲醇一起是長途運輸的唯一可行替代品，可以以一種成本效益高的方式脫碳。”

　　DUTCH FIRM JOINS UAE BLUE AMMonIA PLAN

　　Dutch fertiliser producer OCI has joined a world-scale blue ammonia production project at Ruwais in UAE through its Fertiglobe joint venture with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC), it said on June 22.

　　Fertiglobe has signed an agreement on participation with the project's developer TA'ZIZ, a joint venture between ADNOC and Abu Dhabi Developing Holding (ADQ).

　　The planned facility will produce up to 1mn metric tons/year of blue ammonia from nitrogen and blue hydrogen, derived from natural gas. CO2 emitted during the hydrogen's production will be captured and stored.

　　The partner will undertake engineering design studies ahead of taking a final investment decision in 2022, OCI said. The plant is due to come online in 2025.

　　OCI CEO Nassef Sawiris said the partnership "fits well in our strategy to decarbonise our global and regional platforms. It helps grow our low carbon and clean fuels product offering, which includes our fast-growing biofuels business." The agreement comes after OCI recently unveiled plans for a 365,000 mt/yr blue ammonia project in Texas.

　　Ammonia, Sawiris said, offers "huge potential" as the world shifts to cleaner energy, and will serve as an enabler of the hydrogen economy.

　　"Ammonia is a versatile and clean hydrogen carrier, with many exciting fuel applications, in addition to a diverse array of fertiliser and downstream industrial uses," he continued. "The use of ammonia as a shipping fuel is particularly promising as it is, together with methanol, the only practical alternative for long-distance shipping to decarbonise in a cost-effective way."
