Osaka Gas Co., Ltd.

We are delighted to inform you that we have teamed up with ENGIE, Mitsubishi Corporation, Sempra Infrastructure, TES, Tokyo Gas(東京瓦斯（株）) , Toho Gas Co Ltd, TotalEnergies to sponsor the creation of a global coalition exclusively dedicated to electric natural gas (e-NG), also referred to as e-methane. We believe e-NG can provide a meaningful contribution to the energy transition by accelerating the development of renewable hydrogen. With large industrial capabilities and investment potentials, they are committed to the development of e- NG projects globally. ＃emethane #eNG #greenenergy https://lnkd.in/dY8RKKJE

We are pleased to announce that we have joined forces with Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company), INPEX Corporation, and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd.(東京瓦斯（株）) to conduct a joint feasibility study on e-methane production in Abu Dhabi, UAE. As part of this collaboration, we and Tokyo Gas plan to off-take e-methane in volumes equivalent to 1% of our annual city gas demand by 2030. The study will evaluate the economics of producing and procuring feedstocks, such as green hydrogen and CO2, as well as the production and transportation of e-methane, with a focus on reducing overall CO2 emissions. ＃e-methane #CO2emissions #greenenergy https://lnkd.in/gw22Ae4i

We are excited to announce that Osaka Gas has been selected in a consortium together with RWE Offshore Wind Japan Murakami-Tainai K.K.("RWE") and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. to deliver a commercial-scale offshore wind project off the coast of the cities of Murakami and Tainai, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The Japanese Government has selected our consortium to develop and operate a fixed-bottom offshore wind farm on the west coast, supporting Japan's goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. #offshorewind #renewableenergy #carbonneutral https://lnkd.in/gYw9U5bE

We are pleased to announce that our wholly-owned subsidiary OSAKA GAS UK, LTD. has teamed up with ITOCHU Corporation and has entered into a joint agreement to acquire shares of Everfuel A/S, a company promoting the establishment of a green hydrogen value chain, through a special purpose company to be jointly owned. We will contribute to a decarbonized society by developing the green hydrogen sector in this project. #greenhydrogen #sustainablesociety #carbonneutral https://lnkd.in/dScW6Z62

We are delighted to inform you that we have teamed up with INPEX Corporation and jointly held a groundbreaking ceremony today marking the commencement of construction of one the world's largest CO2-methanation test facilities capable of producing 400 normal cubic meters of methane per hour. This initiative is based on a subsidized project commissioned to INPEX by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). #CO2methanation #CO2 #carbonneutral https://lnkd.in/gRCUr5de

We are pleased to announce that our wholly-owned subsidiary Daigas Energy Co., Ltd. held a completion ceremony today for the construction project to upgrade a coal-fired power plant at the Iwakuni Production Center of Toyobo Co., Ltd. to a thermal power plant fueled by natural gas and RPF. The Daigas Group plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 through low-carbon energy initiatives, emphasizing collaboration with customers and sustainable solutions to make a positive impact on the global environment and everyday life. #naturalgas　#carbonneutral　#coalfired https://lnkd.in/guwjTjqM

We are happy to inform you that PT Pertamina (Persero) Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk, JGC Holdings Corporation, Osaka Gas Co. Ltd., and INPEX Corporation have started detailed discussions on the commercialization of biomethane derived from palm oil effluent, POME, in Indonesia. This project was also introduced at the Asia Zero Emission Community Ministerial Meeting in March 2023 as an initiative contributing to carbon neutrality in Asia. #palmoil #carbonneutral #biomethane https://lnkd.in/gnnd8gMw

We are happy to announce that we have entered into an agreement with CPC Corporation, Taiwan (CPC), Taiwan's state-owned oil and gas company, to conduct joint studies on carbon neutral solutions, such as introducing e-methane to the energy market in Taiwan and exploring other new energy options, including hydrogen, ammonia, and biogas. CPC has been working together with us in LNG procurement, and we have been providing engineering services to CPC for the commissioning of the Yung-An LNG Terminal and the construction and operations of other terminals. #carbonneutral #emethane #ammonia #hydrogen https://lnkd.in/gGn8DSTt

It is with great pleasure that we announce a consortium comprised of Tokyo Gas Company, Ltd.(東京瓦斯（株）),Toho Gas Co Ltd., and Mitsubishi Corporation, and made an agreement with Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra, that it participate in the evaluation of a proposed project to produce e-methane, a form of carbon recycling, in the U.S. Gulf Coast. The consortium is comprised of three of the leading gas utilities in Japan and Mitsubishi Corporation which have been conducting preliminary feasibility work on the project since 2022. With the addition of Sempra Infrastructure, we seek to advance the energy transition through the global market of liquified e-methane. #emethane　#carbonneutral　#LNG https://lnkd.in/gKTvUhTz
