據安迅思能源6月16日消息稱，Globalhydrogenreview表示，日本出光和JERA公司今天簽署了一份諒解備忘錄 (MoU)，規定他們將共同考慮在伊勢灣地區建立氫供應鏈。

由于對脫碳的需求，氫（燃燒時不產生二氧化碳）有望作為下一代化石燃料的替代品在發電廠和工業領域大量使用。因此，在有氫氣需求的地區附近建立大規模的接收和供應基地至關重要。

伊勢灣地區是眾多產業集中的地區，未來有可能成為大規模的接收和供應基地。出光在該地區從事原油接收、提煉和石油產品供應業務。同時，JERA在該地區擁有火力發電廠和液化天然氣接收站，并努力確保中部地區電力的穩定供應。

出光和JERA將利用他們積累的技術、知識和資產，為建立穩定、經濟的氫供應鏈作出貢獻，作為實現碳中和努力的一部分。兩家公司還將與“中部氫氣利用研究小組”合作，該小組正在努力在整個中部地區建立跨行業的氫氣供應鏈。

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.
