據(jù)離岸工程網(wǎng)8月31日?qǐng)?bào)道，日本貿(mào)易公司三井集團(tuán)已向挪威氫氣公司投資7000萬(wàn)挪威克朗 （約合700萬(wàn)美元），該公司將在北歐地區(qū)建設(shè)和運(yùn)營(yíng)綠色氫氣生產(chǎn)基地。

挪威清潔能源運(yùn)輸公司Hexagon Purus是挪威氫的最大股東之一。2022年8月27日，該公司宣布三井投資7000萬(wàn)挪威克朗。

通過(guò)私募，三井成為公司第二大所有者，持有約15%的股份。

挪威氫將開(kāi)發(fā)、建造和運(yùn)營(yíng)綠色氫的生產(chǎn)設(shè)施和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。

“三井的投資是挪威氫的一個(gè)重要里程碑。擁有一家聲譽(yù)良好的跨國(guó)公司作為所有者是我們商業(yè)模式的證明。同時(shí)，私募使我們的公司和項(xiàng)目得到進(jìn)一步發(fā)展?！迸餐涔臼紫瘓?zhí)行官Jens Berge說(shuō)。

挪威氫氣ASA將生產(chǎn)綠色氫氣并將其輸送到整個(gè)北歐地區(qū)。該公司將建立和運(yùn)營(yíng)一個(gè)生產(chǎn)基地和分配系統(tǒng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)，以滿(mǎn)足未來(lái)在各種交通部門(mén)和工業(yè)部門(mén)對(duì)零排放燃料的需求。其基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施將以系統(tǒng)的方式發(fā)展。

公司成立于2020年。它目前正在挪威的赫勒塞特建造第一家氫氣工廠。Hellesylt氫氣中心將從2023年開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)氫氣，并將向船舶提供零排放燃料。

挪威氫氣公司與三井和第一元素燃料公司簽訂了合作協(xié)議，第一元素燃料公司在加州運(yùn)營(yíng)著世界上最大的氫氣加氣站網(wǎng)絡(luò)，品牌名稱(chēng)為T(mén)rue Zero。

三井已經(jīng)是企業(yè)“六邊形復(fù)合材料ASA”及其上市子公司“六邊形Purus ASA”的股東。

“我們很高興加強(qiáng)與挪威氫能公司的伙伴關(guān)系，這是我們持續(xù)合作伙伴關(guān)系的延伸，包括第一元素燃料，以及我們與兩家企業(yè)的戰(zhàn)略聯(lián)盟。有了這項(xiàng)投資，三井將尋求挪威氫氣和三井現(xiàn)有的氫氣投資組合之間的協(xié)同作用，以支持挪威氫氣的增長(zhǎng)并加快在歐洲建立可靠的氫氣市場(chǎng)。我們一直致力于發(fā)展氫基經(jīng)濟(jì)。”三井通用功能材料部門(mén)的Takafumi Kasai表示。

Mitsui invests $7 million in Norwegian Hydrogen

Japanese trading company Mitsui & Co. has invested invests NOK 70 million (around $7 million) in Norwegian Hydrogen, the company that will build and operate green hydrogen production sites in the Nordic region.

Norway’s clean energy transportation company Hexagon Purus is one of the largest shareholders in Norwegian Hydrogen. On On 27 August 2022, it announced that Mitsui & CO. invests NOK 70 million in the company.

Through private placement, Mitsui becomes the second largest owner in the company with a stake of around 15 per cent.

Norwegian Hydrogen will develop, build, and operate production facilities and infrastructure for green hydrogen.

“The investment from Mitsui is an important milestone for Norwegian Hydrogen. To have a reputable multinational company as an owner is a confirmation of our business model. At the same time, the private placement enables further development of our company and projects,” said CEO of Norwegian Hydrogen, Jens Berge.

Norwegian Hydrogen ASA will produce and deliver green hydrogen to the entire Nordic region. The company will build and operate a network of production sites and distribution systems tailored to meet the future requirements for zero-emission fuels in a wide range of mobility sectors and industrial segments. Its infrastructure will be developed in a systematic manner.

The company was established in 2020. It is currently building its first hydrogen factory in Hellesylt, Norway. The Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub will produce hydrogen from the fourth quarter of 2023 onwards, and will, among other things, supply zero-emission fuel to ships.

Norwegian Hydrogen has entered into a cooperation agreement with Mitsui and FirstElement Fuel, which operates the world’s largest network of hydrogen filling stations in California under the brand name True Zero.

Mitsui is already a shareholder of Hexagon Composites ASA and its listed subsidiary Hexagon Purus ASA.

“We are excited to reinforce our partnership with Norwegian Hydrogen as the extension of our ongoing partnership including FirstElement Fuel and also in addition to our strategic alliance with Hexagon Composites and Hexagon Purus. With this investment, Mitsui will seek synergies between Norwegian Hydrogen and Mitsui’s existing investment portfolio in the hydrogen space in order to support Norwegian Hydrogen’s growth and to expedite the establishment of a reliable hydrogen market in Europe. We keep committing ourselves to the development of a hydrogen-based economy,” said Takafumi Kasai, GM Functional Materials Division of Mitsui.
