TotalEnergies SE has recently joined the Japan Hydrogen Fund as an investor to contribute to the development of the low-carbon hydrogen value chain. The fund, initiated by the Japan Hydrogen Association and managed by Advantage Partners, has garnered investments totaling $400 million from Japanese entities including Toyota Motor Corp., Iwatani Corp., and various financial institutions. TotalEnergies stands out as the sole non-Japanese investor at this stage. The company's Asia president, Helle Kristoffersen, expressed the belief that a collaborative approach is essential for the emergence of large-scale low-carbon hydrogen solutions. By participating in this initiative, TotalEnergies aims to strengthen its position as a key player in the global energy transition and take advantage of the dynamic hydrogen ecosystem in Japan.
