Japan's leading oil refiner, Eneos Holdings, and trading house Mitsubishi Corp announced plans to expand their alliance to include hydrogen and decarbonised fuels alongside sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This expansion is part of a larger initiative by Japanese energy companies to establish global supply chains for low-carbon fuels, supporting the global energy transition to tackle climate change. Initially focusing on a joint feasibility study for SAF commercialization in 2022, the companies now aim to extend their collaboration to develop hydrogen supply chains using methylcyclohexane (MCH) and promote carbon dioxide (CO2)-free hydrogen supply internationally. Leveraging Eneos' hydrogen infrastructure and Mitsubishi's expertise in fuel supply chain logistics, the partnership seeks to enhance the utilization of hydrogen in the mobility sector, particularly for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). Additionally, the joint efforts will target the advancement of synthetic fuels derived from CO2-free hydrogen. This strategic alliance reflects a positive outlook towards hydrogen and decarbonised fuels in Japan's energy landscape, aligning with sustainable practices and climate change mitigation goals.
