据世界天然气网站1月22日消息 川崎重工已建成神户液化氢终端（Hy touch Kobe），这是世界上第一个液化氢接收终端。
该终端是为无二氧化碳氢能供应链技术研究协会（HySTRA）建造。
该设施已开始运行测试，将用于从澳大利亚向日本运输液化氢的国际氢能供应链示范测试。
该项目由新能源和工业技术发展组织（NEDO）资助，被命名为利用未使用褐煤建立大规模氢海运供应链示范项目。
神户液化氢终端容纳一个容积为2500立方米的球形液化氢储罐，这是日本同类储罐中最大的一个，包括一个专门设计用于在陆基设施和船舶之间转移液化氢的装载臂系统。
该储罐能够长期储存低温液化氢，其温度降低至-253°C，储存量为初始体积的1/8。
该储罐采用双壳真空保温结构，由内壳和外壳组成，内壳和外壳之间设有真空密封层，以防止外界传热。
此外，储罐采用球形设计，这是减少传热的最佳形状。
川崎称，对神户液化氢终端储罐进行的性能测试证实了它具有很高的隔热能力和功能稳定性。

Kawasaki Heavy Industries builds the world’s 1st liquefied hydrogen receiving terminal
Kawasaki Heavy Industries has completed Kobe LH2 Terminal (Hy touch Kobe), the world’s first liquefied hydrogen receiving terminal.
The terminal was built for the CO2-free Hydrogen Energy Supply-chain Technology Research Association (HySTRA).
Operation testing has started at the facility, which will be used for a demonstration test for an international hydrogen energy supply chain to transport liquefied hydrogen from Australia to Japan.
The project is named Demonstration Project for Establishment of Mass Hydrogen Marine Transportation Supply Chain Derived from Unused Brown Coal and is subsidized by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
Kobe LH2 Terminal accommodates a 2,500 m3 volume spherical liquefied hydrogen storage tank – the largest of its kind in Japan – including a loading arm system specially designed for transferring liquefied hydrogen between land-based facilities and ships.
The storage tank enables long-period storage of cryogenic liquefied hydrogen reduced to a temperature of -253°C and The tank features a double-shell vacuum-insulation structure, comprising inner and outer shells with a vacuum-sealed layer in between to prevent heat transfer from the outside.
Additionally, the tank adopts a spherical design, which is the best shape for reducing heat transfer.
Kawasaki said that performance tests conducted for the Kobe LH2 Terminal tank confirmed high thermal insulation capability and functional stability.
