据油气新闻网9月4日报道，南非石油化工公司萨索尔（Sasol）称，正与日本伊藤忠商事株式会社（Itochu）合作，探讨开发用于航运燃料和发电的绿色氢和绿色氨项目。
萨索尔目前是世界上最大的煤炭燃料产品和化学品生产商，但作为其脱碳计划的一部分，萨索尔正在逐步摆脱石化燃料。
绿色氢是利用太阳能和风能等可再生能源将水分解成氢和氧而产生的，被誉为发电、航运燃料和肥料制造的关键无碳能源。
萨索尔表示，由绿色氢气生产的绿色氨也是净零肥料制造的关键推动因素，可以作为海洋部门的船用零碳燃料，并用于火力发电的混合燃料。并补充道，绿色氨是一种很好的能量载体，特别是长距离运输，而且很容易运输，该产品也可以被“裂解”回氢气，以进一步应用。
萨索尔在一份声明中表示，两家公司于8月27日和28日在突尼斯举行的关于非洲发展东京国际会议（TICAD 8）期间签署了一份谅解备忘录。
萨索尔能源执行副总裁priscilla Mabelane表示，这标志着我们通过脱碳引领南非能源转型的又一个里程碑，同时刺激工业发展。
萨索尔称，日本伊藤忠商事株式会社一直在探索开发绿色氢作为海洋部门和发电的燃料。

Sasol partners with Japan's Itochu for green hydrogen projects
South African petrochemical firm Sasol said it was partnering with Japan's Itochu to explore the development of green hydrogen and green ammonia projects for shipping fuel and power generation.
Sasol is currently the world's biggest producer of fuel products and chemicals from coal, but is transitioning away from the fossil fuel as part of its decarbonisation plan.
Green hydrogen, produced from splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, has been touted as a key carbon-free energy source for power generation, shipping fuel and fertilizer manufacturing.
Sasol said green ammonia, produced from green hydrogen, is also a key enabler of net-zero fertilizer manufacturing, and can be used as a zero-carbon bunkering fuel in the marine sector and for co-firing in thermal power generation.
"Green ammonia is an excellent energy carrier, especially over long-distances, and can be easily transported," it added. "The product can also be 'cracked' back to hydrogen gas for further applications."
The two firms signed a memorandum of understanding during the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 8) held in Tunisia on August 27 and 28, Sasol said in a statement.
"This marks yet another milestone in our ambition to lead the energy transition in South Africa through decarbonisation, while stimulating industrial development," said Priscillah Mabelane, Sasol's executive vice president for energy.
Japanese conglomerate Itochu has been exploring the development of green hydrogen as a fuel in the marine sector and for power generation, Sasol said.
