ENEOS 公司第一座综合合成燃料生产示范工厂的竣工标志着日本能源创新的一个重要里程碑。该工厂位于该公司位于日本横滨的中央技术研究实验室,旨在利用绿色电力生产无二氧化碳的合成燃料,以产生氢气,这是该过程的重要原材料。
该新设施是在新能源和产业技术综合开发机构(NEDO)绿色创新基金的支持下建造的,是日本首个此类设施。它每天可以生产 1 桶合成燃料,相当于约 159 升,预计将在向碳中和能源解决方案过渡中发挥关键作用。
在落成典礼上,与会者参观了工厂,并有机会亲眼目睹使用合成燃料为车辆加油和驱动,其性能与传统汽油相当。
ENEOS总裁Atsushi Yamaguchi强调了该项目的重要性,并表示该公司将“通过持续测试获得扩大生产规模的宝贵知识”,并计划在不久的将来建立大规模合成燃料生产技术。该合成燃料还将在 2025 年 4 月即将举行的大阪关西博览会上的大型车辆演示测试中进行展示。
该工厂符合 ENEOS 的更广泛愿景,即确保稳定的能源供应,同时推动建设碳中和社会。该公司继续推进各种能源转型举措,其中合成燃料是关键组成部分。
ENEOS completes Japan’s first integrated synthetic fuel production
plant
ENEOS Corporation has marked a significant milestone in Japan’s energy innovation with the completion of its first integrated synthetic fuel production demonstration plant. Located at the company’s Central Technical Research Laboratory in Yokohama, Japan, the plant aims to produce CO2-free synthetic fuel using green electricity to generate hydrogen, an essential raw material for the process.
The new facility, built with the support of the Green Innovation Fund from the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), is the first of its kind in Japan. It can produce 1 barrel of synthetic fuel per day, equivalent to approximately 159 litres, and is expected to play a critical role in the transition to carbon-neutral energy solutions.
During the inauguration ceremony, attendees toured the plant and had the opportunity to witness vehicles being refuelled and driven using the synthetic fuel, which performs on par with traditional gasoline.
Atsushi Yamaguchi, president of ENEOS, emphasised the significance of this project, stating that the company will “gain valuable knowledge for scaling up production through continued testing” and aims to establish large-scale synthetic fuel production technology in the near future. The synthetic fuel will also be showcased in large vehicle demonstration tests at the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo in April 2025.
The plant aligns with ENEOS’s broader vision of ensuring a stable supply of energy while advancing efforts toward a carbon-neutral society. The company continues to push forward with a variety of energy transition initiatives, of which synthetic fuels are a key component.
