據世界天然氣網3月30日消息 液化天然氣終端運營商新加坡液化天然氣公司（Singapore LNG）和其他六家公司周一簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，旨在開發利用氫氣作為新加坡低碳能源的方法。

這四家新加坡公司和兩家日本公司分別是新加坡港務公司、裕廊港公司、城市燃氣公司、勝科工業公司、千代田公司及其主要股東三菱公司。

根據一份聯合聲明，這份備忘錄涉及使用千代田的SPERA氫技術研究和開發與氫進口、運輸和儲存有關的技術。

新加坡液化天然氣公司首席執行官Tan Soo Koong在聲明中說：“這項諒解備忘錄標志著朝著為新加坡提供另一種可持續能源選擇（氫）邁出了重要的第一步。”

他表示，通過尋求使用我們終端基礎設施的協同方式，公司很高興能參與到這一開拓性的、令人興奮的合作中。

Soo Koong說：“我們正處于全球能源轉型期，SLNG致力于盡我們所能促進和推動這一進程。”

新加坡國家研究基金會（NRF）還將與這些公司合作，研究如何進一步開發催化等技術，用于生產和分配氫氣。

NRF首席執行官Low Teck Seng說：“在我們向低碳和低排放經濟轉型的過程中，新加坡需要在替代能源的研發方面保持領先地位。”

他補充說：“我們感到鼓舞的是，各公司正齊心協力，利用彼此的專長，研究如何將氫作為現有碳源的無排放替代品。”

Singapore LNG joins initiative to study hydrogen as fuel

LNG terminal operator Singapore LNG and six other companies on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding to develop ways to use hydrogen as a low-carbon energy source in Singapore.

The four Singaporean and two Japanese companies are PSA Corporation, Jurong Port, City Gas, Sembcorp Industries, Chiyoda Corporation and its main shareholder, Mitsubishi Corporation.

The memorandum involves the research and development of technologies related to the importation, transportation and storage of hydrogen using Chiyoda’s SPERA Hydrogen technology, according to a joint statement.

“This MOU marks an important first step towards making another sustainable energy option, namely hydrogen, available for Singapore, ” Tan Soo Koong, CEO of Singapore LNG said in the statement.

He aded that the company was pleased to be a part of this “pioneering and very exciting collaboration, through seeking synergistic ways of using our terminal infrastructure”.

“We are in the midst of a global energy transition, and SLNG is committed to doing what we can to facilitate and catalyse this process,” Soo Koong said.

The National Research Foundation (NRF) Singapore will also work alongside the companies to study how technologies such as catalysis can be further developed for the production and distribution of hydrogen.

“Singapore needs to stay ahead in the research and development of alternative energy sources in our transition towards a low-carbon and low-emission economy,” Low Teck Seng, CEO of NRF said.

“We are encouraged that companies are coming together, leveraging each other’s expertise, to study how hydrogen can be used as an emissions-free alternative to existing carbon sources.” he added.
