据世界能源12月27日消息：川崎重工表示，世界上第一艘液化氢运输船于周五离开日本，在澳大利亚装载第一批货物，预计将在2月底返回日本。
这一耗资5亿澳元(约合3.62亿美元)的试点项目由日本川崎重工牵头，并得到日本和澳大利亚政府的支持。该项目原定于春季在澳大利亚运送第一批从褐煤中提取的氢气。
但由于疫情影响，该计划被推迟到从10月到3月的川崎财政年度下半年。
“这取决于天气，但氢运输船‘Suiso Frontier’将于1月中旬抵达澳大利亚，并预计将在2月下旬左右返回日本，”一位发言人说。
单程大约需要16天。
川崎重工的目标是通过氢气复制其作为主要液化天然气(LNG)油轮生产商的成功，氢气是有助于工业脱碳和帮助全球能源转型的关键元素。
今年3月，这家日澳合资企业在测试项目中开始从褐煤中生产氢，该项目旨在证明液化氢可以生产并安全出口到日本。
该项目澳大利亚方面的合作伙伴包括日本电力开发公司、岩谷公司、丸红公司、住友公司和澳大利亚的AGL能源有限公司，后者的矿山正在供应褐煤。

World’s First Liquefied Hydrogen Tanker Departs Japan
The world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier left Japan on Friday to pick up its first cargo in Australia, with a return to Japan expected around late February, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd said.
The A$500 million ($362 million) pilot project, led by Japan’s Kawasaki and backed by the Japanese and Australian governments, was originally scheduled to ship its first cargo of hydrogen extracted from brown coal in Australia in the spring.
But it was delayed to the second half of Kawasaki’s financial year, which runs from October to March, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It depends on the weather, but the hydrogen carrier ‘Suiso Frontier’ is due to arrive in Australia in mid-January and is expected to return to Japan in around late February,” a spokesperson said.
A one-way trip takes about 16 days.
Kawasaki Heavy aims to replicate its success as a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker producer with hydrogen, a key element that may help decarbonise industries and aid the global energy transition.
In March this year, the Japanese-Australian venture started producing hydrogen from brown coal in the test project that aims to show liquefied hydrogen can be produced and exported safely to Japan.
Partners on the Australian side of the project include Japan’s Electric Power Development Co (J-Power), Iwatani Corp, Marubeni Corp, Sumitomo Corp and Australia’s AGL Energy Ltd, whose mine is supplying the brown coal.
