据能源世界网5月31日东京报道，日本最大电力公司JERA总裁周一表示，该公司正与国内外企业进行谈判，包括能源巨头、航运公司和当地电力公司，以建立氨作为燃料的全球供应链。
氨被用作化肥和工业原料，但与氢一样，也被视为一种有效的未来能源。它燃烧时不排放二氧化碳，但如果它是用化石燃料制造的，就会产生排放。
东京电力公司和中部电力公司（ Chubu Electric Power）的合资企业JERA，其目标是到 2050 年实现二氧化碳净零排放，到 2035 年在其燃煤发电厂实现20%的氨使用。
在与马来西亚国家石油公司(Petronas)就氨和其他能源领域的合作达成协议后，该公司已经与挪威氨制造商雅拉公司(Yara)签署了一份谅解备忘录(MOU)，为日本的发电提供无排放的氨燃料。
JERA总裁Satoshi align="justify"> 他称，我们将继续推动全球范围内供需双方的联盟，努力构建绿色氨供应链。
JERA计划开始一个示范项目，在一个1吉瓦的商业燃煤电厂开发氨和煤混合燃烧技术。
为了到2025年将其可再生能源发电量从截止今年3月的1.2吉瓦扩大到5吉瓦，JERA表示，它及其合作伙伴Equinor和日本电力开发公司(J-Power)本月提交了在日本北部秋田的三个海上风力发电项目的投标。
另外，JERA还开始了另外两个近海项目的环境评估程序，一个在北海道的石垣湾（Ishikari Bay），另一个在日本北部青森的Tsugaru。

JERA in talks with resource majors, others to build ammonia fuel supply chain
Japan's biggest power generator JERA is in talks with companies at home and abroad including resource majors, shipping companies and local electric utilities to build a global supply chain for ammonia as a fuel, its president said align="justify"> 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, though its production creates emissions if it is made with fossil fuel.
JERA, a joint venture between Tokyo Electric Power and Chubu Electric Power, aims to achieve net zero emissions of carbon dioxide by 2050 and 20% use of ammonia at its coal-fired power plants by 2035.
It has already signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Norwegian ammonia maker Yara for the delivery of emissions-free ammonia as fuel for electricity generation in Japan, following an agreement with Malaysia's Petronas to discuss collaborations in ammonia and other energy areas.
"We are also in discussions with various companies, including resource majors, state-owned companies, shipping companies, domestic electric utilities and plant manufacturers," JERA President Satoshi align="justify"> "We will strive to build a green ammonia supply chain by continuing to promote alliances worldwide from both supply and demand sides," he said.
JERA plans to begin a demonstration project to develop technology to co-fire ammonia and coal at a 1 gigawatt (GW) commercial coal-fired power plant.
In an effort to expand its renewable power assets to 5 gigawatts (GW) by 2025 from 1.2 GW as of March, JERA said it and its partners Equinor and Electric Power Development Co (J-Power) submitted a bid this month for three offshore wind power projects in Akita, northern Japan.
Separately, JERA has begun an environment assessment process for two other offshore projects, one off Ishikari Bay in Hokkaido and another in Tsugaru in Aomori, northern Japan, it said.
