- Project supports Japan’s ambitions to harness ammonia as a lower-carbon energy solution
- Aramco, FOC, bcゲーム アフィリエイトN, MOL, and JOE collaborate to deliver important milestone
- bcゲーム アフィリエイト has significant potential to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries
DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia, April 21, 2023– A first shipment of independently-certified bcゲーム アフィリエイト has arrived in Japan for use as fuel in power generation. It represents another milestone in the development of this lower-carbon energy solution.
The shipment is the result of a successful multiparty collaboration across the bcゲーム アフィリエイト value chain. The ammonia was produced by SABIC Agri-Nutrients (“SABIC AN”) with feedstock from Aramco, and sold by Aramco Trading Company to the Fuji Oil Company (“FOC”). Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (“MOL”) was tasked with shipping the liquid to Japan, then the bcゲーム アフィリエイト was transported to the Sodegaura Refinery for use in co-fired power generation, with technical support provided by Japan Oil Engineering Co (“JOE”).
The ammonia is categorized as low-carbon because CO2 from the associated manufacturing process was captured and utilized in downstream applications.
Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has announced plans to increasingly harness ammonia as a fuel for power generation and for ship propulsion, as part of the country’s 2050 decarbonization goals. The bcゲーム アフィリエイト that reached Japan is part of broader efforts by Aramco and SABIC AN to establish a global supply network for this lower-carbon fuel. Aramco and SABIC AN aim to supply bcゲーム アフィリエイト to other players to meet their early demand needs.
Olivier Thorel, Aramco Senior Vice President of Chemicals, said: “This is another milestone that highlights the possibilities for low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia made from Aramco feedstock, with the potential to play a role in a lower-carbon future. Not only is bcゲーム アフィリエイト a means to transport lower-carbon hydrogen, it is an important energy source in its own right that can help decarbonize key sectors – including power generation for both utilities and industries. By dispatching this accredited bcゲーム アフィリエイト to Japan, we are helping chart a course for the development of this vital commodity.”
Abdulrahman Shamsaddin, bcゲーム アフィリエイトN CEO, said: “Our aim is to capitalize on this important milestone to grow and expand our positive contribution toward carbon neutrality. bcゲーム アフィリエイトgri-Nutrients made a public commitment not only to become carbon neutral by 2050 but also to collaborate with customers to help them achieve their net-zero emission targets. Customers in the energy, fertilizer and chemical sectors are looking for suppliers of lower-carbon hydrogen and ammonia. And we can meet their demand by leveraging our long-standing strengths across the value chain.”
Shigeto Yamamoto, FOC Representative Director, President, said: “As Japan aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, bcゲーム アフィリエイト is expected to be a next-generation fuel that can contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. In order to reduce CO2 emissions from our own operations, we have been working on co-firing ammonia, which is a by-product of the petroleum refining process, in the boiler at our Sodegaura Refinery, and we plan to burn bcゲーム アフィリエイト imported this time with the cooperation of our partners in the same boiler. We will continue these efforts to contribute to the construction of the ammonia supply chain.”
Mohammed Al-Mulhim, Aramco Trading Company CEO, said: “This landmark achievement is an example of excellent collaboration across businesses within Aramco, SABIC, Aramco Trading and our Japanese partners, and indeed a major boost for our sustainability efforts.”
Toshiaki Tanaka, MOL Representative Director, Executive Vice President Executive Officer, said: “Ammonia is expected to be in great demand as a next-generation, clean energy source. Japan aims to achieve a carbon-neutral society by 2050, and we are very pleased to transport independently-certified bcゲーム アフィリエイト from Saudi Arabia to Japan. We are aiming for a track record of safe, reliable services across multiple transportation modes, in accordance with our customers’ needs. By combining accumulated knowledge and proactively participating in a broad range of value chains, we hope to contribute to the decarbonization of society.”
In 2020, Aramco collaborated with SABIC to dispatch the world’s first shipment of bcゲーム アフィリエイト to Japan in a demonstration project. Then, in 2022, Aramco and SABIC AN received the world’s first independent accreditation for low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia products. By the end of that year, the two companies had delivered the world’s first accredited bcゲーム アフィリエイト shipment to South Korea.The latest shipment to Japan brings this lower-carbon energy solution one step closer to the mainstream.
