据世界天然气6月15日消息称，日本航运公司三井商船株式会社(MOL)的子公司MOL清洁能源公司(MCE)对阿森松清洁能源公司(ACE)进行了战略投资，这是一个拟议中的全球规模的清洁氨氢生产和出口设施，位于路易斯安那州阿森松教区。

MCE的战略投资于6月15日宣布，通过该公司成为该项目的合资股东。该项目的其他股东包括Clean Hydrogen Works、Hafnia和Denbury Carbon Solutions。

通过加入ACE项目，MOL将帮助开发安全、可持续和高效的解决方案，将清洁的氨氢输送到全球新兴的清洁能源市场。

MCE首席执行官Tomoaki Ichida表示：“清洁的氨氢对全球能源市场的脱碳至关重要。通过这个创新项目，MOL不仅为我们的未来增长提供投资，而且还有助于促进我们的车队和客户群中清洁氨氢的开发和采用。”

ACE预计每年将生产720万吨清洁氨氢，并帮助发电、船用燃料、重型运输、钢铁加工和工业应用等难以减排的行业脱碳。

目前的预期生产目标是到2027年底，清洁能源将于2028年开始外输。

此外，该项目的目标是捕获其过程中高达98%的二氧化碳排放，并提供一种具有成本效益、可扩展的途径来提供无碳能源。

ACE预计投资75亿美元，预计在五年内创造约1500个建筑工作岗位和350个永久全职工作岗位。

MOL invests in clean hydrogen-ammonia production project in Louisiana

MOL Clean Energy (MCE), a subsidiary of Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), has made a strategic investment in Ascension Clean Energy (ACE), a proposed global-scale clean hydrogen-ammonia production and export facility in Ascension Parish, Louisiana.

The strategic investment by MCE was announced on 15 June, through which the company became a joint venture shareholder in the project. Other shareholders in this project are Clean Hydrogen Works, Hafnia and Denbury Carbon Solutions.

By joining the ACE project, MOL will help develop safe, sustainable, and efficient solutions to ship clean hydrogen-ammonia to emerging clean energy markets across the globe.

“Clean hydrogen-ammonia is critical to decarbonizing the global energy market,” said Tomoaki Ichida, CEO of MCE. “With this innovative project, MOL is investing not only for our future growth but also helping promote the development and adoption of clean hydrogen-ammonia within our fleet and customer base.”

ACE is expected to produce 7.2 million metric tons of clean hydrogen-ammonia annually and help decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors including power generation, bunker fuel, heavy transportation, steel processing and industrial applications.

Anticipated production is currently targeted by late 2027 with the shipment of the clean energy commencing in 2028.

Furthermore, the aim of the project is to capture up to 98% of CO2 emissions from its processes and provide a cost-effective, scalable pathway to supply carbon-free energy.

With a projected investment of $7.5 billion, ACE is expected to generate approximately 1,500 construction jobs over five years and 350 permanent, full-time jobs.
