据今日油价网2022年7月11日报道,未来几十年,绿氨将成为广受热捧的一种主要的可再生燃料。绿氨的能量大约是锂离子电池的9倍,由于密度原因,它比液态氢更容易运输。随着各大能源公司争先恐后寻找创新的可再生能源替代品,绿氨作为无排放燃料受到越来越多的关注。与氢相比,氨虽然很少被提及,但它作为一种清洁燃料正在吸引全世界能源公司的目光。
随着各公司认识到氨的潜力,现在世界上各地都在生产和运输氨。上个月,阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)向日本石油公司Inpex出售使用天然气生产的氨。它被认为是“清洁的氨",因为在其生产过程中排放的二氧化碳被用碳捕获和储存(CCS)技术封存起来,然后注入阿布扎比的陆上油田。
这是第一次在中东和日本之间运输可再生燃料,这要归功于IHI公司和三井O.S.K.航运公司(MOL)在两个地区之间的联系。INPEX希望在本世纪末建立三个或更多的氨气项目,每年生产约10万吨氢气/氨气,以帮助实现其气候目标。它还希望在日本和阿布扎比之间建立一个有弹性的供应链,承认阿布扎比酋长国是一个核心业务区。
随着各国探索各种可再生资源以使其运输和其他行业脱碳,其他国家也看到了绿色氨的潜力。专家认为,绿氨可能是欧盟委员会REpowerEU战略成功的关键,该战略的目标是2000万吨可再生氢气。目前,欧盟地区的合成氨行业每年使用约100亿立方米的天然气,主要是作为化肥的原料。这显示了新的可再生能源项目为合成氨生产提供动力的潜力。

The Green Ammonia Boom Is Coming
Green ammonia is a little-known contender to become a major renewable fuel over the coming decades. It has around nine times the energy of lithium-ion batteries and its denser nature makes it easier to transport than liquid hydrogen. As oil majors race to find innovative renewable energy alternatives, green ammonia is gaining more international attention for its potential as an emissions-free fuel.
One of the industries considering the use of ammonia to decarbonize is the maritime sector, which could use the fuel to help meet its climate targets. It could also be used as a means of storing renewable energy for delayed use, as well as transported to be cracked for its hydrogen content.
Ammonia is now being produced and shipped around the world as companies recognize its potential. Last month, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) sold ammonia, produced using natural gas, to the Japanese oil company Inpex. It was deemed ‘clean ammonia’ as the CO2 emitted during its production was sequestered using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, to be injected into onshore oil fields in Abu Dhabi.
This is the first time the renewable fuel has been transported between the Middle East and Japan, thanks to the IHI Corporation and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) connection between the regions. INPEX is hoping to establish three or more ammonia projects by the end of the decade to produce around 100,000 tonnes of hydrogen/ammonia annually to help meet its climate targets. It also hopes to establish a resilient supply chain between Japan and Abu Dhabi, recognizing the emirate as a core business area.
Other regions are also seeing the potential for green ammonia as countries explore a variety of renewable sources to decarbonize their transport and other sectors. Experts believe that green ammonia could be key to the success of the European Commission’s REPowerEU strategy, which aims at 20 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen. At present, the ammonia sector in the E.U. region uses around 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year, predominantly as a feedstock for fertilizers. This demonstrates the potential for new renewable energy projects to power the production of ammonia.
