Australian energy company and Japanese utilities study options for supply to Japanese power sector
Australia’s Woodside Energy and six Japanese companies have agreed to study the feasibility of supplying ammonia to Japan’s power generation sector. The scope of the project covers the shipment of ammonia derived from both green and blue hydrogen produced in Australia to Japanese utilities. The Japanese companies joining the project are Jogmec, Marubeni, Hokuriku Electric Power, Kansai Electric Power, Tohoku Electric Power and Hokkaido Electric Power. “Given existing proven technologies for the production, storage, and transportation of ammonia, it is expected to have early take-up as a lower-emission fuel,” the companies say in a joint statement.
