據石油和天然氣管道新聞6月1日報道，先進氫能鏈技術開發協會（AHEAD）旗下的一個日本企業財團宣布，世界上第一批氫氣從文萊遠洋運輸到日本，被用于發電。

AHEAD表示,已經實現了一個重要的里程碑，通過在川崎市沿海地區Toa石油有限公司Keihin Refinery開始供應甲基環己烷(MCH)分離出來的氫氣, 為Mizue電站的燃氣輪機提供燃料。

AHEAD在一份新聞聲明中表示，向燃氣輪機供應氫氣標志著日本首次消耗外國生產的用于發電的氫氣，這對大量消耗氫氣的電力行業產生了重大影響。

該計劃將使國際氫供應鏈商業化，該供應鏈包括：文萊MCH生產，到海運，再到日本從MCH分離氫氣，并將從國外運來的氫氣作為發電燃料。

加入到這個行列的未來公司包括千代田株式會社、三菱株式會社、三井物產株式會社、日本郵船株式會社，以及越來越多的利益相關者。

Japanese consortium ships hydrogen from Brunei to fuel power generation

A consortium of Japanese companies, part of Advanced Hydrogen Energy Chain Association for Technology Development (AHEAD), have announced the world’s first transocean shipment of hydrogen from Brunei to fuel gas turbines for power generation in Japan.

AHEAD said it had reached an important milestone towards realising a hydrogenfueled society by commencing the supply of hydrogen separated from methylcyclohexane (MCH) at the dehydrogenation plant in the Keihin Refinery of Toa Oil Co., Ltd. in the coastal area of Kawasaki City to fuel gas turbines of Mizue Power Station.

The supply of hydrogen to gas turbines marks the first consumption of foreign-produced hydrogen for power generation in Japan, leaving a significant footprint towards mass consumption of hydrogen in the electricity sector, AHEAD said in a press statement.

The plan is to commercialise the international hydrogen supply chain that consists of a series of processes from the production of MCH in Brunei to ocean transport to the separation of hydrogen from MCH in Japan, as the use of hydrogen shipped from abroad as fuel for power generation.

AHEAD member companies, include Chiyoda Corporation, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, as well as a growing circle of stakeholders.
