???? 據ICIS網站3月5日消息 荷蘭化肥巨頭OCI周五宣布簽署兩份諒解備忘錄，因為該公司試圖將氨和甲醇商業化為“未來的運輸燃料”。
????第一項協議是與MAN能源解決方案（MAN）和德國Hartmann氣體運輸公司簽訂，根據該協議，OCI打算租用由Hartmann及其商業部門GasChem Services建造、所有和運營的氨船，這些船只將使用由人工設計的氨發動機操作。
????OCI在一份冗長的新聞稿中表示：“該合作旨在推動氨燃料船舶的商業化，加速航運業的能源轉型和脫碳?！?/p>
????第二個協議涉及MAN能源解決方案和東太平洋航運公司（EPS），目標是改造EPS油輪船隊現有船舶，以使用甲醇和氨，以及新建甲醇和氨燃料船舶。
????OCI表示：“今天可以利用改裝一艘接受甲醇為燃料的船舶的技術，目的是讓OCI租用未來兩年內使用已經在用的人工發動機和技術由EPS操作的第一艘改裝甲醇燃料船只。”
????OCI的核心產品氨和甲醇是長途運輸唯一實用的替代品。
????“隨著全球基礎設施的到位，這些產品可以將從“灰色”向“綠色”過渡，直到行業完全向完全基于可再生能源的產品擴展?！?/p>

????OCI signs MoUs to develop ammonia and methanol as shipping fuels
????Dutch fertilizer major OCI on Friday announced the signing of two memorandums of understanding (MoU) as it seeks to commercialise ammonia and methanol as the "shipping fuels of the future".
????The first pact is with MAN Energy Solutions (MAN) and Hartmann Gas Carriers Germany (Hartmann), under which OCI intends to charter ammonia vessels built, owned and operated by Hartmann and its commercial arm, GasChem Services. These vessels will be operated using ammonia engines designed by MAN.
????"The partnership aims to propel the commercialisation of ammonia-fueled vessels and accelerate the energy transition and decarbonisation of the shipping industry," OCI said in a lengthy news release.
????The second alliance involves MAN Energy Solutions and Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) and will target retrofitting existing vessels from EPS’ tanker fleet to use methanol and ammonia, as well as new-build methanol and ammonia-fuelled vessels.
????"The technology to retrofit a vessel to accept methanol as a fuel is available today and the intention is for OCI to charter the first retrofitted methanol fueled vessel operated by EPS using already in-service MAN engines and technology in the next two years," OCI explained.
????"Ammonia and methanol, OCI’s core products, are the only practical alternatives for long-distance shipping.
????"With global infrastructure in place, these products can bridge the transition from 'grey' to 'green' until the industry has fully scaled up to products based solely on renewable energy sources."
