Air Liquide Technology Selected For Inpex Project

French multinational gas company, Air Liquide has announced it will provide the technology for low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production to a pilot project owned and operated by Japanese oil & gas exploration and production company, INPEX.

Air Liquide’s autothermal reforming (ATR) technology will be part of the development of the Kashiwazaki clean hydrogen and ammonia project in the Hirai area of Kashiwazaki City, Japan. The overall project will be Japan’s first demonstration project integrating low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production with carbon capture.

Michael Graff, executive vice president of Air Liquide says: ‘Air Liquide’s expertise in providing customers with efficient, reliable, innovative technologies and solutions is at the heart of our ambitions to support the decarbonisation of industries. We are pleased to collaborate with INPEX.’

Petronas And Exxonmobil Sign For Ccs

Malaysian oil and gas company, Petronas has signed two project development agreements with American multinational oil and gas corporation, ExxonMobil to jointly pursue carbon capture and storage (CCS) activation projects in Malaysia.

Under the agreements, both parties will define next steps, including the maturation of technical scopes for the CCS value chain, evaluation of the identified fields for CO 2 storage utilisation, development of appropriate commercial framework and establishment of an advocacy plan for support on regulations and policy development in enabling CCS projects.

Head of carbon management at Petronas, Emry Hisham says, ‘Petronas is proud to work with its long-standing partner, ExxonMobil to pursue CCS projects together, aligning our shared aspiration to deliver energy solutions in a responsible and sustainable manner. This collaboration further strengthens

Petronas’ commitment in providing decarbonisation solutions, aligned with our aspiration in establishing Malaysia as a leading CCS hub in the region.’

IDEMITSU, HEPCO AND JAPEX SIGN MOU FOR CCUS

Japanese petroleum company, Idemitsu, electric company, Hokkaido Electric Power (HEPCO), and Japan Petroleum Exploration (JAPEX) have announced the beginning of a joint study for implementing carbon dioxide capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) in the Tomakomai area of Hokkaido, Japan.

Following the Japanese government’s announcement of a carbon neutrality goal by 2050. The movement toward a decarbonised society is gaining momentum. Hokkaido also announced a zero carbon Hokkaido plan in March 2020 towards net zero emissions of green house gas (GHG) and is actively making efforts towards that.

JAPAN’S IHI CORP STUDIES CONVERSION OF LNG TERMINALS FOR AMMONIA

Japan’s IHI Corporation is looking into the possible conversion of LNG receiving and storage terminals located close to gas-fired power plants into ammonia-based facilities. The company will draw on its corrosion expertise and experimental technologies for materials to study the feasibility of modifying the terminals.

IHI have agreed with General Electric’s (GE.N) turbine manufacturing unit to develop gas turbines operating on ammonia to reduce carbon emissions. Tokyo aims to use ammonia to eventually replace coal and develop a fully ammoniafired power plant by 2050. However, its reliance on coal and gas for power generation has increased since the 2011 Fukushima disaster, which left its nuclear power industry in turmoil.
