据离岸工程网站5月18日消息 日本政府周二表示，将从绿色创新基金中拨款至多3700亿日元（34亿美元），用于两个项目，以在未来10年内加速研发和促进氢的使用。
去年12月，日本公布了一项雄心勃勃的目标，即到2030年将该国的氢需求从目前的200万吨提高到每年300万吨，到2050年达到2000万吨。
日本政府表示，国有研发机构新能源和工业技术开发组织（NEDO）周二开始接受两个氢项目的申请。
其中之一将是一个高达3000亿日元的项目，以建立大规模的氢气供应链，促进对清洁燃料的需求。另外700亿日元的项目将利用可再生能源产生的电能，通过水电解开发一个大规模、低成本的制氢系统。
这两个项目将由政府设立的2万亿日元绿色创新基金资助，该基金旨在帮助该国实现2050年的碳中和目标。
这是日本政府上个月宣布的通过动用政府资金支持研发的18个潜在项目中的第一个。
氢长期用作火箭燃料，主要是从天然气或煤中提取，主要用于炼油和生产化肥用氨，但未来的需求预计将来自更广泛的领域，包括运输、建筑和发电。
日本政府的一位官员表示，其他利用政府资金的研发项目的细节，包括降低海上风电场的成本和建立燃料氨的供应链，将在秋季前决定。

Japan Sets Aside $3.4B for Hydrogen R&D
The Japanese government said on Tuesday it will allocate up to 370 billion yen ($3.4 billion) from its green innovation fund for two projects to accelerate research and development (R&D) and promotion of hydrogen use over the next 10 years.
Japan unveiled an ambitious goal in December to boost the country's demand for hydrogen to 3 million tonnes a year by 2030, from about 2 million tonnes currently, and to 20 million tonnes by 2050.
New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a state-owned R&D agency, on Tuesday started accepting applications for two hydrogen projects, the industry ministry said.
One will be an up to 300 billion yen project to create a large-scale supply chain of hydrogen and promote demand for the clean fuel. The other 70 billion yen project will develop a large-scale, cost efficient hydrogen production system by water electrolysis using electricity derived from renewable energy sources, the ministry said.
The two projects will be funded from the government's 2 trillion yen green innovation fund created to help the country achieve its 2050 target of becoming carbon neutral.
They are the first of 18 potential projects announced by the ministry last month to support R&D, by tapping into the government's fund.
Hydrogen, long used as rocket fuel, is mostly extracted from natural gas or coal. It is mainly utilised in oil refining and to produce ammonia for fertilisers but future demand is expected to come from broader segments including transport, building and power generation.
Details of other R&D projects to tap the government fund, including lowering the cost of offshore wind farms and building a supply chain of fuel ammonia, will be decided by the autumn, an official at the industry ministry said.
