“The venture will contain finding out the feasibility of capturing CO2 emitted from Nippon Metal’s East Nippon Works Kimitsu Space and a number of industries within the Keiyo Industrial Zone within the Tokyo metropolitan space, transporting the CO2 via pipelines and storing the CO2 off the East Coast of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture (offshore saline aquifer).
“Every firm will leverage its respective technological capabilities and data to collectively conduct research and surveys in every phase of the CCS worth chain, together with CO2 separation, seize, transportation and storage towards the commercialization of CCS”.
On April 1 INPEX and Kanto Pure Gasoline established a three way partnership (JV) to speed up analysis and planning for the venture. The JV, known as Metropolitan CCS Ltd., would be the “core firm tasked with technical analysis, together with CO2 storage evaluation and the research of potential routes for pipeline set up, in addition to enterprise analysis”, INPEX stated then.
The Japanese worldwide oil and fuel exploration and manufacturing firm owns 85 % of Metropolitan CCS. Kanto Pure Gasoline Growth, based mostly in Chiba Prefecture’s Mobara Metropolis, holds 15 %. Metropolitan CCS is predicated in Chiba Metropolis.
In the meantime Nippon Metal, whose emissions will probably be captured and sequestered by the venture, is tasked with the seize and separation parts, in accordance with INPEX.
Underneath its marketing strategy via 2035 Inpex has set lower-carbon options leveraging CCS and hydrogen as considered one of its progress pathways. It goals to draw third-party emitters.
Nippon Metal, in the meantime, sees CCS as a key expertise in reaching its objective of carbon neutrality by 2050.
