???? 據可再生能源新聞2021年3月25日東京報道，日本最大的煉油企業新日本石油公司（ENEOS）3月25日在東京表示，ENEOS日前與沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司(沙特阿美/Saudi Aramco)簽署了一項諒解備忘錄（MoU），考慮雙方合作開發無二氧化碳氫和氨供應鏈，以加快發展氫生產、運輸和銷售業務。

????ENEOS發言人表示，根據這份ENEOS首次與中東石油生產商合作的MoU，兩家公司將進行為期一年的可行性研究，研究氫的生產方式和運輸選擇。

????ENEOS表示，在可行性研究期間，ENEOS和沙特阿阿美將共同研究沙特阿美從天然氣和液化石油氣等原料中生產氫氣，以及從生產中捕獲和儲存其相關的二氧化碳。

????這兩家公司還將研究以氨和甲基環己烷(MCH)的形式將氫從沙特阿拉伯運送到日本和其他消費國。

????日本在2020年從沙特阿拉伯進口了首船藍色氨貨物，用于發電，其二氧化碳捕獲工藝指定用于沙特基礎工業公司Ibn-Sina設施的甲醇生產，以及捕獲二氧化碳用于沙特阿拉美Uthmaniyah油田提高原油采收率。

????Japan's ENEOS signs MOU with Aramco to develop hydrogen, ammonia supply chain

????Japan's largest refiner ENEOS said March 25 it signed a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Aramco to consider development of a CO2-free hydrogen and ammonia supply chain as it accelerates efforts to develop hydrogen production, transport and sales businesses.

????Under the MOU, which was ENEOS' first of its kind with a Middle Eastern producer, the two companies will conduct a year-long feasibility study looking at means of hydrogen production and transport options, an ENEOS spokeswoman said.

????During the feasibility study, ENEOS and Saudi Aramco will jointly look at Aramco's hydrogen production derived from feedstocks such as natural gas and LPG as well as capture and storage of its associated CO2 from production, ENEOS said.

????The companies will also look at means to transport hydrogen including in forms of ammonia and methylcyclohexane (MCH) from Saudi Arabia to Japan and other consumers.

????Japan imported the maiden blue ammonia cargo in 2020 from Saudi Arabia to be used for power generation, with the CO2 capturing process designated for use in methanol production at SABIC's Ibn-Sina facility, as well as capturing CO2 used for enhanced oil recovery at Saudi Aramco's Uthmaniyah field.
