据世界天然气8月19日消息：日本伊藤忠商事株式会社表示，该公司与Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (DBI)、北昆士兰散装港口公司(North Queensland Bulk Ports)和Brookfield Asset Management签署了一项协议，对澳大利亚的绿色氢生产和储存进行可行性研究。
两家公司将联合探索利用Dalrymple Bay码头(DBT)的港口土地生产和储存绿色氢的可行性，该码头由昆士兰州政府所有，由DBI运营。他们还将考虑建立供应链，包括利用DBT现有的出口设施出口绿色氢。
可行性研究将分阶段进行，直至最后的商业生产阶段，第一阶段计划于今年开始。
伊藤忠表示，DBT位于昆士兰州政府指定用于可再生能源开发的可再生能源区中心，因此作为绿色氢生产基地正在吸引人们的兴趣。
报道称，昆士兰州政府已将包括DBT在内的Hay Point指定为适合可持续发展的优先港口，DBT现有的出口基础设施可以改善和扩大，以建立出口氢的设施。

Japan’s Itochu Corp signed an agreement with Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (DBI), North Queensland Bulk Ports, and Brookfield Asset Management to conduct a feasibility study align="justify"> The companies will jointly explore the feasibility of producing and storing green hydrogen utilising port land at the Dalrymple Bay Terminal (DBT), which is owned by the Queensland state government and operated by DBI. They will also look at establishing a supply chain including exporting green hydrogen using DBT's existing export facilities.
The feasibility study will be conducted in phases up to the final commercial production phase, with the first phase scheduled to begin this year.
Itochu said that DBT is attracting interest as a green hydrogen production base due to its location in the centre of a Renewable Energy Zone, an area in Queensland designated by the state government for renewable energy development.
The Queensland state government has designated Hay Point including DBT as a priority port suitable for sustainable development, and DBT has existing export infrastructure which can be improved and expanded on to create facilities for exporting hydrogen, it said.
