JERA, 4 energy firms sign MoU for hydrogen, ammonia adoption

The parties plant for joint procurement of hydrogen and ammonia for domestic plants.

JERA, Kyushu Electric Power, Chugoku Electric Power, Shikoku Electric Power, and Tohoku Electric Power entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to look into the potential of collaborating for the adoption of hydrogen and ammonia as a fuel for power generation.

In a statement, JERA said the signatories plan to establish and expand supply chains for hydrogen and ammonia for fuel which they aim to use for their thermal power plants as they do not emit carbon dioxide during combustion.

Under the MOU, they aim to facilitate joint procurement that will reduce hydrogen and ammonia procurement costs for domestic power plants. They also plan to establish transportation and storage methods for the two.

The companies will also work on gaining policy support, develop rules related to hydrogen and ammonia, and discuss potential collaborative projects related to the introduction of hydrogen and ammonia in the country.

Hydrogen and ammonia are seen to replace fossil fuels, JERA said.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
