據世界天然氣11月16日消息稱，丹麥航運和物流巨頭馬士基（A.P. Moller - Maersk）與約旦能源和礦產資源部簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，在綠色海洋燃料生產領域進行合作。

通過該協議，雙方將尋找在亞喀巴地區投資和發展綠色甲醇生產的機會。據稱，該協議符合約旦擴大和提高當地清潔能源來源的努力。

據約旦能源和礦產資源部長Saleh a . Al-Kharabsheh說，這份諒解備忘錄是約旦努力加強其作為綠色能源生產區域中心作用的一部分。

馬士基的副總裁兼脫碳主管Morten Bo Christiansen強調了約旦的地理位置及其豐富的資源的重要性。

根據協議條款，馬士基將對綠色甲醇生產進行初步的技術和經濟可行性研究，以幫助減少海事部門的排放。

就在新協議簽署前不久，這家丹麥航運巨頭公布了與西班牙政府合作探索大規模綠色燃料生產機會的計劃。

協議的簽署被描述為合作中的一個重要里程碑，如果全面實施，每年可提供多達200萬噸的綠色燃料。

Maersk sets sights on green methanol production in Jordan

Danish shipping and logistics giant A.P. Moller – Maersk has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources for cooperation in the field of green marine fuel production.

Through the agreement, which is said to be in line with Jordan’s drive to expand and enhance local clean energy sources, the parties will look into opportunities for investing and developing green methanol production in the Aqaba region.

According to Saleh A. Al-Kharabsheh, Jordan’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, the MoU is part of the country’s efforts to enhance its role as a regional centre for green energy production.

Morten Bo Christiansen, Vice President, Head of Decarbonisation at A.P. Moller – Maersk, highlighted the importance of Jordan’s location and its selection due to its abundance of resources.

Under the terms of the agreement, Maersk will conduct preliminary technical and economic feasibility studies for green methanol production to contribute to the reduction of emissions in the maritime sector.

The new deal comes shortly after the Danish shipping giant revealed its plans to collaborate with the Spanish government to explore the opportunities for large-scale green fuels production.

The signing of the protocol was described as a significant milestone in the collaboration that, if fully implemented, could deliver up to 2 million tonnes of green fuels per year.
