中国石化新闻网讯 据油气新闻网11月21日报道，日本株式会社商船三井（MOL）表示，其已与日本最大的发电商JERA签署谅解备忘录，以研究氨燃料的运输。
MOL在声明中表示，这项研究将包括研究向JERA位于爱知县的Hekinan发电站输送氨，该发电站计划于本世纪20年代末开始商业运营。
该声明称，随着氨成为下一代清洁能源，在燃烧过程中不会排放二氧化碳，预计未来将对氨产生大规模需求，特别是用于共烧和燃煤发电厂的氢载体。
通过该谅解备忘录、MOL和JERA将研究开发适合国内热电厂和接收站的燃料氨载体，建造燃料氨运输和接收系统，以及安装和操作使用氨作为船舶燃料的推进发动机。
MOL的声明补充道，两家公司还将与相关各方合作，促进有关氨燃料的法规。

Mitsui OSK,JERA to study transportation of ammonia fuel
Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines said it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with JERA, the country's biggest power generator, to study transporting ammonia for using it as a fuel.
The study will include looking at ammonia shipments to JERA's Hekinan power station in the Aichi prefecture, which is scheduled to start commercial operations towards the end of the decade, MOL said in the statement.
"With ammonia emerging as a next-generation clean energy source that does not emit carbon dioxide during combustion, large-scale demand for ammonia is expected in the future, particularly for co-firing and as a hydrogen carrier in coal-fired power plants," according to the statement.
Through the MoU, MOL and JERA would study developing fuel-ammonia carriers suitable for domestic thermal power plants and receiving stations, the building of fuel ammonia transportation and receiving systems, and installing and operating propulsion engines that use ammonia as ship fuel.
The companies will also work with relevant parties to foster regulations regarding ammonia fuel, MOL's statement added.
