TOKYO : Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security said on Tuesday it has selected seven candidate projects which capture carbon dioxide and store it underground to provide support for commercialisation to enhance Japan's decarbonisation push.
Early this year, Japan's industry ministry set a target of annual CO2 storage capacity of 6-12 million tonnes by 2030 under a long-term roadmap for carbon capture and storage . They include five domestic sites such as the Tomakomai area in northern island of Hokkaido and Tokyo metropolitan area and two overseas sites such as Malaysia and the Oceania region where CO2 emitted in Japan are transported to be stored.
The operators come from various industries, such as electric power generation, oil refining, trading and steel-making.
