TES and Saibu Gas Join Forces to Drive Decarbonisation in Japan's Energy Sector
August 5, 2024
Tree Energy Solutions (TES), a global leader in producing e-NG (electric natural gas from green hydrogen), and Saibu Gas, a major Japanese gas utility, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote e-NG as a key clean energy source. This partnership supports Japan's goal to use e-NG for 90% of its City Gas consumption by 2050.
The agreement will help Saibu Gas provide stable, clean energy and achieve carbon neutrality in its city gas supply chain. The parties will explore opportunities including a long-term e-NG offtake contract by Saibu Gas from TES production projects, where captured CO2 is combined with green hydrogen to create e-NG that can be used as a drop in fuel at consumer’s facilities.
This collaboration with Saibu Gas will enable TES to establish an overseas supply chain for e-NG into Asia and promote the introduction of e-NG into the Japanese market. TES and Saibu Gas aim to create a sustainable value chain, enabling Japan to meet its carbon neutrality goals by 2050 while ensuring a stable supply of clean energy.
Marco Alverà, CEO and Co-Founder of TES, stated, “We acknowledge the profound significance of the Japanese LNG market and its influence both locally and globally. Together with Saibu Gas, we have the opportunity to drive meaningful progress in the transition towards greener alternatives for Japan’s energy sector.”
About TES
TES is a global green energy company leading the way in the production of e-NG (electric natural gas derived from green hydrogen). Headquartered in Europe, TES is committed to making reliable and affordable green energy accessible to all by implementing giga-scale projects using a proven, scalable and cost-effective method. With a presence in North America, Middle East, Asia and Australia, the company’s green hydrogen model uses solar and wind energy in low-cost areas with abundant sunlight or wind. The green hydrogen is then combined with climate-neutral CO2 and transformed into e-NG, a renewable molecule, easy to transport and store using existing infrastructure. Through the supply of e-NG to various industries, TES aims to win the climate race ensuring the mass adoption of green molecules across the globe.
