据Splash 3月9日消息，日本川崎重工（KHI）的官员昨日表示，从澳大利亚运送液化氢的具有里程碑意义的试点项目证明，新的海运贸易在技术上是可行的。

今年早些时候，KHI建造的世界上第一艘液化氢运输船Suiso Frontier将一批从澳大利亚褐煤中提取的氢气运往日本，并于上月底抵达神户。

KHI执行官Motohiko Nishimura告诉记者：“从生产、运输到装载和储存的演示证明，已经为未来像液化天然气一样使用氢气作为能源奠定了技术基础。”

Nishimura说：“能够安全运行的设备和设施对清洁能源行业来说，也是一项改变游戏规则的技术。”

KHI表示，它的目标是很快建造一个更大的氢气容器。

Kawasaki Heavy readies larger hydrogen carrier designs

Officials from Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) said yesterday a landmark pilot project to ship liquefied hydrogen from Australia had proven that the new seaborne trade is technically feasible.

Earlier this year, the KHI-built Suiso Frontier (pictured), the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier, took a cargo of hydrogen created from brown coal in Australia to Japan, arriving in Kobe late last month.

“The demonstration covered from production and transport to loading and storage proved that the technological foundations have been laid for the future use of hydrogen as an energy source in the same way as liquefied natural gas,” Motohiko Nishimura, KHI’s executive officer, told reporters.

“Equipment and facilities that can be operated safely is also a game-changing technology for the clean energy business,” Nishimura said.

KHI said it aims to build a much larger hydrogen vessel soon.
