据离岸工程7月22日消息称，日本跨国公司川崎重工及其位于澳大利亚墨尔本的子公司氢能工程澳大利亚公司宣布，为氢能源供应链试点项目(项目)建设氢液化装载终端的施工工作开始。

该设施将把氢气转化为液化氢，并储存起来，然后装上世界上第一艘专门的海运货船运往日本。该项目将利用拉特罗布山谷中的褐煤生产氢气。

该项目将为澳大利亚一个令人兴奋的氢气输出行业的发展创造一个新的创新技术基础。

川崎重工董事长村山茂表示：“向全世界提供清洁的氢气，造福我们的环境，这是我们共同的目标，我们期待着实现。”

他说：“氢能经济已经在日本实现，现在在澳大利亚破土动工真是太好了。我们很高兴能将我们共同的氢愿景转化为现实。”

建设工作包括建筑和机械安装，包括一个液化设施和一个储存容器，将于2020年6月完成，然后进行调试，目标运营期为2020年至2021年。川崎重工将利用其在过去液化氢和工业工厂获得的技术诀窍和经验，按时、安全地交付该项目。川崎重工和HEA将继续与当地社区合作，分享有关该项目的信息，并回应社区的反馈。

在维多利亚州、澳大利亚和日本政府的全力支持下，该项目由一个由日本和澳大利亚顶级能源及基础设施相关公司组成的财团完成并交付。

Kawasaki Begins Hydrogen Project

Japanese public multinational corporation Kawasaki Heavy Industries and its subsidiary company based in Melbourne Hydrogen Engineering Australia announced commencement of construction work to build the Hydrogen Liquefaction and Loading Terminal for the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain pilot project (Project).

The facility will convert hydrogen gas into liquefied hydrogen, which will be stored and then loaded onto the world’s first specialized marine carrier for transport to Japan. The Project will involve the production of hydrogen from Latrobe Valley brown coal.

The Project will create a new innovative technical foundation for the development of an exciting hydrogen export industry for Australia.

“Delivering clean hydrogen to the world for the benefit of our environment is a goal we share deeply and we look forward to achieving”, said Chairman of the Board of Kawasaki, Mr Shigeru Murayama.

“The hydrogen economy is already materializing in Japan, and it is wonderful to now be breaking ground here in Australia. We are excited to be translating our joint hydrogen vision into reality”, he said.

The construction work includes building and mechanical installation including a liquefaction facility and a storage container to be completed by June 2020, to be followed by commissioning, with the target operating period being from 2020 to 2021. Kawasaki will use its know-how and experiences gained in past liquefied hydrogen and industrial plants to deliver the Project safely and on time. Kawasaki and HEA will continue to work with the local community to share information about the Project and respond to community feedback.

The Project is being delivered by a consortium of Japan and Australia’s top energy and infrastructure related companies, with the full support of the Victoria, Australian and Japanese Governments.
