日本从文莱进口氢气用于发电

据石油和天然气管道新闻6月1日报道，先进氢能链技术开发协会（AHEAD）旗下的一个日本企业财团宣布，世界上第一批氢气从文莱远洋运输到日本，被用于发电。

AHEAD表示,已经实现了一个重要的里程碑，通过在川崎市沿海地区Toa石油有限公司Keihin Refinery开始供应甲基环己烷(MCH)分离出来的氢气, 为Mizue电站的燃气轮机提供燃料。

AHEAD在一份新闻声明中表示，向燃气轮机供应氢气标志着日本首次消耗外国生产的用于发电的氢气，这对大量消耗氢气的电力行业产生了重大影响。

该计划将使国际氢供应链商业化，该供应链包括：文莱MCH生产，到海运，再到日本从MCH分离氢气，并将从国外运来的氢气作为发电燃料。

加入到这个行列的未来公司包括千代田株式会社、三菱株式会社、三井物产株式会社、日本邮船株式会社，以及越来越多的利益相关者。

Japanese consortium ships hydrogen from Brunei to fuel power generation

A consortium of Japanese companies, part of Advanced Hydrogen Energy Chain Association for Technology Development (AHEAD), have announced the world’s first transocean shipment of hydrogen from Brunei to fuel gas turbines for power generation in Japan.

AHEAD said it had reached an important milestone towards realising a hydrogenfueled society by commencing the supply of hydrogen separated from methylcyclohexane (MCH) at the dehydrogenation plant in the Keihin Refinery of Toa Oil Co., Ltd. in the coastal area of Kawasaki City to fuel gas turbines of Mizue Power Station.

The supply of hydrogen to gas turbines marks the first consumption of foreign-produced hydrogen for power generation in Japan, leaving a significant footprint towards mass consumption of hydrogen in the electricity sector, AHEAD said in a press statement.

The plan is to commercialise the international hydrogen supply chain that consists of a series of processes from the production of MCH in Brunei to ocean transport to the separation of hydrogen from MCH in Japan, as the use of hydrogen shipped from abroad as fuel for power generation.

AHEAD member companies, include Chiyoda Corporation, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, as well as a growing circle of stakeholders.
