Electrochaea and Hitachi have signed a licence agreement for the production of synthetic methane in Japan. \u00a9 Electrochaea<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Hitachi will deploy Electrochaea\u2019s patented technology to produce clean, synthetic methane at the first biomethanation plant in Japan, with commissioning targeted in 2027. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrochaea\u2019s commercial-scale power-to-methane technology will help to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and deliver a cost-effective, drop-in replacement for fossil fuel-based natural gas in Japan. Under the licensing agreement, Hitachi will retain the option to purchase additional licenses to deploy Electrochaea\u2019s biomethanation technology throughout Japan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deployment of Electrochaea’s technology in Japan will support the country\u2019s climate goals to achieve 5% carbon-neutralized gas via the injection of 1% synthetic methane into existing infrastructure by 2030, increasing to 90% carbon-neutralized gas by 2050. In turn, this supports the country\u2019s climate pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46% by 2030 compared to 2013 levels and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted Hitachi has chosen Electrochaea\u2019s proprietary P2M technology to bring biomethanation to Japan. Partnering with a global energy leader strengthens our presence worldwide and will be key to our expansion throughout Asia. e-Methane can play an important role in realizing Japan\u2019s ambitious climate goals and we\u2019re proud that Electrochaea\u2019s innovative technology has been validated by esteemed industry leaders.\u201d – Dr. Doris Hafenbradl, CTO and Managing Director, Electrochaea<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
