据世界天然气10月12日消息称，三菱、千代田和胜科将利用千代田的技术 SPERA Hydrogen 合作探索脱碳氢在新加坡的供应链商业化。
10 月 4 日，日本和新加坡公司签署了战略合作谅解备忘录（MoU）。根据协议，他们将探索商业规模供应链的可行性和实施，以将脱碳氢输送到新加坡。
他们将使用千代田公司的氢储存和运输技术SPERA Hydrogen。千代田开发了这种技术从甲基环己烷(MCH)中释放氢。MCH是一种液态有机氢载体，是一种较为合适的氢载体。特别是，它更安全，与现有的工业基础设施兼容。
2021 年 5 月，日本政府宣布了亚洲能源转型倡议 (AETI)。根据AETI，日本将利用日本公司的技术，如千代田的SPERA Hydrogen，支持新加坡的能源转型。
此外，这一谅解备忘录是建立商业化规模的全球氢供应链的重要战略步骤。因此，双方将在海上探索最具成本效益的氢气生产，最终将 MCH 运往新加坡使用。

Mitsubishi, Chiyoda, Sembcorp collaborate align="justify"> Mitsubishi, Chiyoda, and Sembcorp will collaborate align="justify"> On 4 October, the Japanese and Singaporean companies signed a strategic collaboration memorandum of understanding (MoU). Under the deal, they are to explore the feasibility and implementation of a commercial-scale supply chain to deliver decarbonised hydrogen into Singapore.
They will use SPERA Hydrogen, Chiyoda’s hydrogen storage, and transportation technology. Chiyoda developed this technology to release hydrogen from Methylcyclohexane (MCH). MCH is a type of liquid organic hydrogen carrier that appears to be a more suitable hydrogen carrier. In particular, it is more safe and compatible with existing industrial infrastructure.
In May 2021, the Japanese government announced the Asia Energy Transition Initiative (AETI). Under the AETI, Japan will support Singapore’s energy transition leveraged by Japanese companies’ technology, such as Chiyoda’s SPERA Hydrogen.
Moreover, this MoU represents a strategically important step in the creation of a commercial-scale global supply chain for hydrogen. Therefore the parties will explore the most cost-effective hydrogen production in offshore locations, to ultimately ship MCH to Singapore for use.
