-- 据彭博社周二援引日本外交官员的话报道，日本正在加快与南非就一项以日元计价的能源贷款进行谈判，同时积极推广氨气混烧技术。 报道援引官员的话称，日本将利用这笔拟议贷款支持南非的能源转型，但并未透露具体金额。 日本的这项举措是对欧洲国家根据现有能源转型协议已承诺向南非提供的约100亿美元气候融资的补充。 德国和日本正在加大力度，使其公司在南非布局，目标是抓住南非这个太阳能资源丰富、绿色氢能生产潜力巨大的市场的机遇。 报道还称，两国领导人于8月在横滨举行的总统西里尔·拉马福萨与日本前首相石破茂会晤期间首次讨论了这笔贷款。 日本正在推广氨气混烧技术，该技术用氨气替代发电厂的部分煤炭使用，以在保持现有基础设施的同时减少排放。 南非可以利用其太阳能和风能资源生产绿色氢气，然后将其转化为氨，以便于储存和运输，从而支持更清洁的能源发展路径。 然而，报告指出，批评人士认为，氨与氢气混烧可能会延长燃煤电厂的寿命，因为南非目前仍有约四分之三的电力来自煤炭。已联系南非电力和能源部，寻求置评。 （市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息据信来自可靠来源，但可能包含传闻和推测。准确性无法保证。）
