Air Liquide (Paris:AI), a world leader in gases, technologies
and services for Industry and Health, and ENEOS Corporation,
Japan’s leading energy company, have signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on accelerating the development
of low-carbon hydrogen in Japan and contribute to the energy
transition. This partnership intends to capitalize on ENEOS' strong
energy infrastructure and market presence in Japan as well as on
Air Liquide's more than 60 years of expertise across the entire
hydrogen value chain - from production, liquefaction, transport,
storage and distribution to usages - as well as mastery of Carbon
Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS).
This partnership will span the whole value chain of
low-carbon hydrogen. Upstream, the partners will study the
development of low-carbon hydrogen production, using both
CCUS and electrolysis technologies. Furthermore, they will examine
possible collaboration in the development of an international
liquid hydrogen supply chain to serve the Japanese market from
abroad. Downstream, the partnership will envisage joint initiatives
to develop hydrogen mobility in Japan, including through a
hydrogen refueling station infrastructure. In addition, Air Liquide
and ENEOS will explore a collaboration in innovation along
the hydrogen supply chain.
Armelle Levieux, member of Air Liquide’s Executive
Committee and Vice President of Innovation supervising Hydrogen
activities, said: “Air Liquide is proud to partner with ENEOS,
Japan’s leading energy company. This collaboration, which will span
the whole value chain of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, will
combine the strengths of two leaders in their field. As such, it
can significantly contribute to the development of hydrogen as a
key element of decarbonization of industry and mobility in Japan.
This partnership is yet another sign that Air Liquide is
accelerating in the energy transition. It is in line with our
strategic plan ADVANCE, which closely links financial and
extra-financial performances.”
Tomohide Miyata Representative Director, Executive Vice
President, ENEOS, said: “Under the ENEOS Group’s Long-Term
Vision to 2040, we are taking on the challenge of achieving both “a
stable supply of energy and materials” and “the realization of a
carbon-neutral society”. We believe the collaboration with Air
Liquide, which is one of the world's largest industrial gas
companies, will also serve as a basis for leading energy transition
and continue to support energy supply in Japan in a carbon neutral
society. ENEOS is currently considering MCH* as our main hydrogen
carrier, but through this MOU, we also pursue the exploration of
liquefied hydrogen in the future to contribute to the formation of
a decarbonized society. ”
*MCH (Methylcyclohexane) is a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier
(LOHC) which is liquid at ambient temperature and pressure with the
volume being 1/500th of gaseous hydrogen. This makes it easy to
handle, store and transport.
