據烴加工新聞5月19日消息稱，吉寶數據中心、川崎重工、林德天然氣新加坡私人有限公司(Linde)、三井物產（MOL）和Vopak液化天然氣公司簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，共同探索供應基礎設施的概念發展，將液化氫(LH2)引入新加坡，為吉寶的數據中心提供動力。
根據諒解備忘錄，五個行業伙伴將共同研究LH2供應鏈的技術和商業可行性，包括在出口國建立生產和液化工廠和出口終端的可行性，通過遠洋油輪運輸，以及在新加坡的進口終端、儲存單元和再氣化設施。這項研究預計將持續到2021年底。在這個關鍵時刻，合作伙伴將決定下一階段的合作。
合作伙伴設想，LH2供應基礎設施將使數據中心設施受益，如吉寶數據中心目前正在追求的新加坡浮動數據中心公園項目。
由于氫的燃燒不排放二氧化碳，全世界對使用氫作為能源的興趣越來越大。在液態下，氫的體積比氣態下少800倍，可以更緊湊、更有效地儲存和運輸。因此，LH2作為土地稀缺市場的一種引人注目的清潔能源替代品，正在獲得吸引力。
吉寶數據中心首席執行官Wong Wai Meng說：“與吉寶的2030年愿景一致，該愿景將可持續發展作為集團戰略的核心，吉寶數據中心正在努力使我們的運營脫碳。我們正在積極利用吉寶集團的能力，并與行業伙伴合作，探索一系列綠色解決方案，如氫氣、浮動數據中心和CCUS(碳捕獲、利用和封存)技術。有了這份諒解備忘錄，我們在使用可持續能源發電的道路上又邁出了一步。”
川崎重工氫戰略部門的執行總裁兼副總經理Motohiko Nishimura博士說:“川崎重工正在全球首次推動LH2供應鏈試點示范項目。我們在LH2技術方面積累了豐富的經驗和專業知識，包括世界上第一艘LH2運輸船、氫液化設施、LH2儲罐和帶裝載臂系統的LH2裝卸設施。”

Development of liquefied hydrogen supply infrastructure explored for Keppel
Keppel Data Centres Holdings Pte Ltd (Keppel Data Centres), Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd (Kawasaki), Linde Gas Singapore Pte Ltd (Linde), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd (MOL) and Vopak LNG Holding B.V (Vopak LNG) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly explore the concept development of a supply infrastructure to bring liquefied hydrogen (LH2) into Singapore to power Keppel’s data centres.
Under the MOU, the five industry partners will jointly study the technical and commercial viability of a LH2 supply chain, including the feasibility of having a production and liquefaction plant and export terminal at the exporting country, transportation via ocean-going tankers, as well as an import terminal, storage units and regasification facilities in Singapore. The study is expected to continue till the end of 2021. At that juncture, the partners will decide on the next phase of their collaboration.
The partners envision that the LH2 supply infrastructure will benefit data centre facilities such as the floating data centre park project in Singapore that Keppel Data Centres is currently pursuing.
There is growing interest worldwide in the use of hydrogen as an energy source because its combustion does not emit carbon dioxide. In its liquid state, hydrogen occupies 800 times less volume compared to its gaseous state, allowing for more compact and efficient storage and transportation. As such, LH2 is gaining traction as a compelling clean energy alternative for land-scarce markets.
Mr Wong Wai Meng, CEO of Keppel Data Centres, said: “In line with Keppel’s Vision 2030, which puts sustainability at the heart of the Group’s strategy, Keppel Data Centres is working hard to decarbonise our operations. We are actively tapping the capabilities of the Keppel Group as well as working with industry partners to explore a range of green solutions such as hydrogen, floating data centres and CCUS (carbon capture, utilisation and sequestration) technologies. With this MOU, we take another step in our journey to use sustainable energy sources for power generation.”
Dr Motohiko Nishimura, the Executive Officer and Deputy General Manager of Hydrogen Strategy Division of Kawasaki, said: “Kawasaki is promoting a LH2 supply chain pilot demonstration project for the first time in the world. We have accumulated experience and expertise in LH2 technology, including the world’s first LH2 carrier, hydrogen liquefaction facility, LH2 storage tank and LH2 handling facility with loading arm system.”
