Inpex, Japan’s largest oil and gas E&P company, is investing $1.25 billion in Australian renewables by 2030 to establish a green hydrogen export hub and aid the decarbonization of the Ichthys natural gas and LNG project. This move comes as part of Inpex's foray into the renewables sector, which began with the acquisition of 50% of shares in Enel Green Power Australia in September 2023. The investment aims to utilize the Quorn Park Hybrid Project, a solar and battery energy storage system, for grid stabilization and revenue maximization. Inpex intends to leverage renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and Inpex's know-how to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions at the Ichthys project. The company is also exploring green hydrogen production for potential projects in Japan, alongside plans to supply e-methane to Tokyo Gas. In addition, Inpex is involved in the Central Queensland Hydrogen Project (CQ-H2) to export green hydrogen to Japan and supply hydrogen to an ammonia production facility. The article also highlights Inpex's geothermal exploration drilling in Japan as part of its transition strategy. The move by Inpex towards green hydrogen and renewables aligns with the global trend towards decarbonization and sustainable energy solutions.
