Toyo Engineering Co., Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., JGC Global Corporation, and Chiyoda Corporation Partner with Japan Hydrogen Energy Corporation for an Australian Enhanced Hydrogen Supply Chain Operations.
With Kawasaki as leader, the four companies will conduct the required FEED aimed to realize a demonstration of commercial operations for hydrogen liquefaction facilities (two plants capable of processing 60 tonnes per day), onshore liquefied hydrogen storage tanks (five tanks with a capacity of 10,000m3 each), export terminal facilities for large liquefied hydrogen carriers, and related facilities at the liquefaction and export terminal in Hastings, Victoria, Australia. Furthermore, the companies will determine the optimal equipment requirements, specifications, costs, among others, for demonstration tests for the commercialization of JSE’s liquefied hydrogen supply chain.
Moving forward, Kawasaki will combine its technologies and skills in the areas of liquefied hydrogen storage, handling, and transport, drawing on the extensive accumulated experience and technical knowledge that TOYO, JGC and Chiyoda possess in the area of overseas plant design and construction. The goal is to accelerate FEED aimed at the creation of liquefied hydrogen supply chains, and in doing so contribute toward the realization of Japan’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
JSE is currently working on the NEDO Green Innovation Fund project “Liquefied Hydrogen Supply Chain Commercialization Demonstration,” which is based on the “2050 Carbon Neutral Plan” formulated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry together with related ministries on December 25, 2020. Based on the “green growth strategy associated with the “green growth strategy”, this project is aimed at the full-scale social implementation of a clean hydrogen supply chain, with an eye toward a society that consumes a large amount of hydrogen and achieves carbon neutrality.
