TOKYO : Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to the Middle East last week has led to a flurry of agreements for studies that Japan hopes will encourage key countries in the region to become hydrogen partners.
Gulf countries are seen as well placed to form a green energy production hub due to their low solar energy production costs. These include an agreement between JERA and ADNOC to study cooperation in clean hydrogen and ammonia and a pact between Sumitomo Corp and Sharjah National Oil to study the feasibility of a carbon capture and storage project in the UAE.
He noted that Japan has expertise in electrolysis for hydrogen made from renewable sources and pyrolysis for hydrogen production from methane. Hydrogen is also key to producing ammonia, which it wants to use in its fuel mix to extend the life of coal-fired plants and is a significant part of Japan's plans to shift to clean energy.
