據世界天然氣2月15日消息：根據氨和氮產品制造商OCI NV的說法，清潔氨作為脫碳計劃和可持續燃料的工具，需求的增長將有助于在中期提振氨市場。

該公司最近提高了其鹿特丹氨進口碼頭的吞吐能力，使其能夠繼續在歐洲進行下游生產，并通過從該公司在Fertiglobe和美國的業務中采購氨來應對原料價格的波動。

隨著船用燃料和電力等行業對清潔氨的需求日益增加，作為氫載體，該公司的目標是成為世界上最大的清潔燃料和原料生產商之一。

氨和甲醇被認為是綠色氫最有效的載體，綠色氫是一種清潔的未來燃料，被認為是脫碳工業、食品、運輸和能源的關鍵。

為了支持從化石燃料到綠色氫和其他低碳替代品的全球能源轉型，OCI NV宣布了清潔能源項目，包括與Masdar和ENGIE合作，研究一個高達200兆瓦的綠色氫設施，為Fertiglobe在阿布扎比的氨生產工廠提供供應。

該公司還與ADQ和Alpha Dhabi Holding簽署了協議，以3.75億美元購買OCI甲醇集團15%的股份，這使得OCI集團(OCI)可以尋求氫燃料相關的應用。

Decarbonisation drive boosts ammonia market

According to ammonia and nitrogen product manufacturer OCI NV, a growth in the demand for clean ammonia as a tool for decarbonisation initiatives and sustainable fuels could help boost the ammonia market over the medium term.

The company has recently increased its throughput capabilities at its ammonia import terminal in Rotterdam, allowing it to continue downstream production in Europe as well as combat volatility in feedstock prices by sourcing ammonia from the company’s operations at Fertiglobe and in the US.

With emerging demand for clean ammonia for applications across sectors including marine fuel and power, and as a hydrogen carrier, the company aims to become one of the largest producers of clean fuel and feedstock in the world.

Ammonia and methanol are considered the most effective carriers for green hydrogen – a clean future fuel considered essential decarbonising industry, food, transport, and energy.

To support the global energy transition from fossil-based fuels to green hydrogen and other low-carbon alternatives, OCI NV has announced clean energy projects including a partnership with Masdar and ENGIE to study a green hydrogen facility of up to 200MW to supply Fertiglobe’s ammonia production plants in Abu Dhabi.

The company has also signed deals with ADQ and Alpha Dhabi Holding for a 15% stake in the OCI Methanol Group for $375m, which allows the Group (OCI) to pursue hydrogen-fuel related applications.
