e-methane (Synthetic Methane) Development Project

In order to decarbonize heat demand, which accounts for about 60% of the consumer and industrial sectors, introduction of “e-methane” (synthetic methane), which can utilize existing gas infrastructure and curb additional social costs, is expected. MC is conducting detailed joint studies with Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, and Toho Gas to construct a supply chain, and is aiming to produce e-methane from raw materials such as hydrogen, CO2, and water in the US, and annually export 130,000 tons of e-methane to Japan from 2030 by utilizing the Cameron LNG Terminal, a project in which MC participates in.
