据气体世界网2022年4月25日报道，4家亚洲能源公司签署了一项联合研究协议，以探索印度尼西亚一个清洁天然气和液化天然气(LNG)项目的潜力，这个项目涉及从棕榈油厂废液(POME)中生产生物甲烷。

这个4月25日宣布的项目旨在支持亚洲向更多碳中和能源的转型。  

尽管棕榈油厂为印尼贡献4.5%的GDP，但它产生大量的甲烷排放，这种气体对全球气候变暖的影响据说是二氧化碳的25倍。  

为了减轻棕榈油厂对环境的负面影响，这个项目旨在将甲烷转化为生物燃料，然后通过现有的天然气管网供应，以满足对天然气日益增长的需求，并帮助减少印尼范围1的排放。

联合研究小组由印尼国家石油公司(Pertamina)、日本大阪燃气公司(Osaka Gas)、日本日挥株式会社(JGC)和日本国际石油开发株式会社 (Inpex)组成，联合研究将看到合作伙伴合作研发技术和解决方案，这些技术和解决方案与苏门答腊岛和加里曼丹岛的POME资源生产生物甲烷有关，并将其供应给全国各地的消费者。

除了生物甲烷认证计划和生物甲烷/生物液化天然气营销机会之外，联合研究还将探索碳信用体系。

这个项目的原材料将来自印尼国家石油公司的设施，而大阪燃气公司将为印尼和日本引入生物甲烷以减少二氧化碳排放提供支持。

INPEX计划与其合作伙伴合作，在印尼Bontang的Bontang液化天然气终端提供清洁液化天然气加注解决方案，而JGC将为该项目提供管理和工程解决方案。

Energy partners join forces for Indonesia LNG project

Four Asian energy companies have entered into a joint study agreement to explore the potential of a clean natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Indonesia involving the production of biomethane from palm oil mill effluent (POME).

Announced today (April 25th), the project aims to support a transition to more carbon neutral energy sources in Asia. 

Despite helping generate 4.5% of Indonesia’s GDP, POME is responsible for the production of a significant amount of methane emissions, a gas that is said to have 25 times larger impact on global warming compared to carbon dioxide (CO2). 

To help mitigate the negative environmental impact of POME, the project aims to convert the methane into biofuels before supplying it through the existing gas grid, meeting heightened demand for natural gas and helping to reduce Scope 1 emissions in Indonesia. 

The joint study, comprised of PT PERTAMINA (Pertamina), Osaka Gas, Co., Ltd. (Osaka Gas), JGC Holdings Corporation (JGC), and Inpex Corporation (INPEX), will see the partners cooperating on research and development of technologies and solutions relating to the production of biomethane from POME resources in Sumatra and Kalimantan and supplying it to consumers across the country. 

Carbon crediting systems will also be explored, in addition to biomethane certification schemes and biomethane/bio LNG marketing opportunities. 

Raw material for the project will be supplied from Pertamina’s facilities and locations while Osaka Gas will enable the introduction of biomethane to reduce CO2 emissions in both Indonesia and Japan. 

INPEX plans to work with its partners to provide clean LNG bunkering solutions at the Bontang LNG Terminal in Bontang, Indonesia, and JGC will deliver management and engineering solutions to the project.
