We are excited to announce Hiringa Refuelling New Zealand Limited (“HRNZ”), which we invested in September 2021, held an opening ceremony on 23rd Apr 2024 to launch its network of green hydrogen refuelling stations for hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles in New Zealand.   HRNZ, with support from the New Zealand Government agency Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority, will initially operate four hydrogen refuelling stations in the North Island, located next to logistics hubs in major cities, to supply green hydrogen to the country’s commercial and heavy duty vehicles.   Takashi Furutani, Chief Operating Officer of Mitsui’s Asia Pacific Business Unit & CEO of Mitsui & Co. (Asia Pacific), who attended the launch said: “I am thrilled that we could hold the opening ceremony after overcoming various challenges such as delays in the delivery of equipment due to the COVID pandemic.   “This is a big milestone - the establishment of the first-ever hydrogen refuelling station network to supply green hydrogen in the Oceania region.”   Mitsui believes New Zealand is an ideal market to develop and commercialize green hydrogen as a next generation fuel and to decarbonize heavy duty vehicles.   The project aligns with Mitsui’s ‘Global Energy Transition’, a core part of ‘Energy Solutions’ strategy in Mitsui’s Medium-Term Management Plan, which aims to respond to the growing trend toward decarbonization by promoting cleaner forms of energy including next generation fuels such as hydrogen.   For more information, please refer to: Hiringa Energy website: https://lnkd.in/g7SSCwB3 Hiringa Energy LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/gx5i6Vhg   #mitsui #Sustainability #decarbonization #Hydrogen

Mitsui & Co. Chairman Tatsuo Yasunaga participated in Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB)’s 21st International Advisory Council meeting held on 6th November 2023. This year, the focus area for discussions centered around how Singapore can continue to remain competitive in view of rising industrial policies by developed economies and opportunities AI will present for Singapore and their respective businesses. We discussed the importance of promoting three interlinked subjects in a balanced manner, namely 1) Free Trade and Investment environment, 2) National Security and 3) Decarbonization. Mitsui established our branch in Singapore since 1954 and it serves as the regional headquarter of Asia Pacific. Singapore’s competitiveness, strong regulatory environment, hub status and connectivity provide our various business units a good platform to expand our business in Singapore and regionally. It is reassuring that the EDB is actively engaging the business community to remain competitive in this challenging geopolitical landscape.
