据路透社7月8日东京报道，日本Inpex、JERA和日本石油、天然气和金属矿物资源机构(JOGMEC)周四表示，已与阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)达成协议，探讨在阿联酋(UAE)生产氨的可行性。
他们在一份声明中表示，日本最大的石油和天然气公司Inpex、日本最大的电力公司JERA和国有的JOGMEC将与ADNOC合作，研究生产和运输氨到日本的商业潜力。
氨被用作化肥和工业原料，但与氢一样，它也被视为一种有效的未来能源。它在燃烧时不排放二氧化碳，但如果它是用化石燃料制造的，它的生产就会产生排放。
这四家公司计划探索通过减少天然气衍生氢的碳足迹来生产氨气的可行性，氨气生产产生的大部分二氧化碳将被封存并用于阿布扎比陆上油田的提高采收率作业中。
JERA发言人表示，他们的目标是在11月前完成这项联合研究。
为了减少二氧化碳排放和应对气候变化，日本已经制定了一个目标，即到2030年将全国氨燃料需求从现在的零增长到每年300万吨，并创建一个新的燃料供应链。

Japanese firms, ADNOC to explore feasibility of ammonia production in UAE
Japan's Inpex Corp (1605.T), JERA, and Japan Oil, Gas and metals National Corp (JOGMEC) said on Thursday they had agreed with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to explore the feasibility of producing ammonia in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Inpex, Japan's biggest oil and gas company, JERA, Japan's biggest power generator, and state-run JOGMEC will work with ADNOC to study the commercial potential of producing and transporting ammonia to Japan, they said in a statement.
Ammonia is used for fertiliser and industrial materials, but is also seen as an effective future energy source, along with hydrogen. It does not emit carbon dioxide when burned, but its production produces emissions if it is made with fossil fuel.
The four companies plan to explore the feasibility of producing ammonia with a reduced carbon footprint from natural gas-derived hydrogen, with most of the CO2 emitted from the production of ammonia to be sequestered and utilized in enhanced oil recovery operations at Abu Dhabi onshore oil fields.
They aim to complete the joint study by November, a JERA spokesman said.
Japan has set a target to grow the nation's ammonia fuel demand to 3 million tonnes a year by 2030 from zero now and to create a new supply chain of the fuel in a bid to cut CO2 emissions and combat climate change.
