据《能源年》11月16日东京报道，日本最大的勘探与生产企业Inpex宣布，该公司已对日本新潟县的钻探作业和氢氨设施的建设做出了最终投资决定。

位于柏崎市平井地区的柏崎清洁氢/氨项目将看到，Inpex的Higashi-Kashiwazaki气田生产的天然气通过现有管道输送到一个新的年产700吨的氢气设施。

氢气将被用来制造蓝氨，剩余物用于发电。

该项目排放的二氧化碳将根据碳捕获、利用和储存计划进行分离和储存。

该项目将标志着日本首次整合蓝氢和氨生产。

Inpex计划在2030年左右将三个或更多的氢和碳捕获、利用和储存项目商业化，旨在每年生产10万吨氢和氨，每年捕获250万吨二氧化碳。

Japan to build its first hydrogen to ammonia asset

Inpex has taken its FID on drilling operations and construction of a hydrogen and ammonia facility in Niigata, Japan, the nation’s largest E&P player announced on Tuesday.

The Kashiwazaki Clean Hydrogen/Ammonia Project in the Hirai area of Kashiwazaki City will see gas produced at Inpex’s Higashi-Kashiwazaki gasfield delivered via a pre-existing pipeline to a new 700-tonnes-per-year hydrogen facility.

The hydrogen will be used to create blue ammonia, with the remainder used for power generation.

Carbon dioxide emissions from the project will be separated and stored under a carbon capture, utilisation and storage initiative.

The project will mark Japan’s first integration of blue hydrogen and ammonia production.

Inpex plans to commercialise three or more hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage projects by around 2030 with the aim to produce 100,000 tonnes of hydrogen and ammonia per year and capture 2.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
