「脱炭素コンビナート」整備支援　水素・アンモニア産業集積―経産省

　経済産業省は２９日、総合資源エネルギー調査会（経産相の諮問機関）に小委員会を新設し、燃焼時に二酸化炭素（ＣＯ２）を排出しない水素とアンモニアの利用拡大に向けた検討を開始した。脱炭素社会の実現に向け、関連産業を集積する「カーボン・ニュートラル・コンビナート」の整備を支援する方策を議論し、夏までにまとめる岸田政権の「クリーンエネルギー戦略」に反映させる。（2022/03/29-18:46）

Japan's industry ministry set up a panel on Tuesday to discuss expanding the use of hydrogen and ammonia, which do not emit carbon dioxide when burned.
   The subcommittee under the Advisory Committee for Natural Resources and Energy will consider measures to support the development of carbon-neutral industrial complexes.
   The panel's discussions are expected to be reflected in a clean energy strategy that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's administration is set to compile by the end of this summer.
   The move comes as the importance of stable energy supply is increasing further, in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
   Carbon-neutral complexes are expected to feature port facilities for ships transporting hydrogen and ammonia, as well as storage tanks and pipelines. Related businesses, such as power and chemical plants, are seen concentrated there.
