據路透社7月8日東京報道，日本Inpex、JERA和日本石油、天然氣和金屬礦物資源機構(JOGMEC)周四表示，已與阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC)達成協議，探討在阿聯酋(UAE)生產氨的可行性。

　　他們在一份聲明中表示，日本最大的石油和天然氣公司Inpex、日本最大的電力公司JERA和國有的JOGMEC將與ADNOC合作，研究生產和運輸氨到日本的商業潛力。

　　氨被用作化肥和工業原料，但與氫一樣，它也被視為一種有效的未來能源。它在燃燒時不排放二氧化碳，但如果它是用化石燃料制造的，它的生產就會產生排放。

　　這四家公司計劃探索通過減少天然氣衍生氫的碳足跡來生產氨氣的可行性，氨氣生產產生的大部分二氧化碳將被封存并用于阿布扎比陸上油田的提高采收率作業中。

　　JERA發言人表示，他們的目標是在11月前完成這項聯合研究。

　　為了減少二氧化碳排放和應對氣候變化，日本已經制定了一個目標，即到2030年將全國氨燃料需求從現在的零增長到每年300萬噸，并創建一個新的燃料供應鏈。

　　Japanese firms, ADNOC to explore feasibility of ammonia production in UAE

　　Japan's Inpex Corp (1605.T), JERA, and Japan Oil, Gas and metals National Corp (JOGMEC) said on Thursday they had agreed with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to explore the feasibility of producing ammonia in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

　　Inpex, Japan's biggest oil and gas company, JERA, Japan's biggest power generator, and state-run JOGMEC will work with ADNOC to study the commercial potential of producing and transporting ammonia to Japan, they said in a statement.

　　Ammonia is used for fertiliser and industrial materials, but is also seen as an effective future energy source, along with hydrogen. It does not emit carbon dioxide when burned, but its production produces emissions if it is made with fossil fuel.

　　The four companies plan to explore the feasibility of producing ammonia with a reduced carbon footprint from natural gas-derived hydrogen, with most of the CO2 emitted from the production of ammonia to be sequestered and utilized in enhanced oil recovery operations at Abu Dhabi onshore oil fields.

　　They aim to complete the joint study by November, a JERA spokesman said.

　　Japan has set a target to grow the nation's ammonia fuel demand to 3 million tonnes a year by 2030 from zero now and to create a new supply chain of the fuel in a bid to cut CO2 emissions and combat climate change.
