Japan Suiso energy boss says hydrogen project incorporating carbon capture and storage ‘truly a watershed moment’ in decarbonising
Japan is putting $2.35bn into a project to turn coal from Victoria’s Latrobe valley into “clean hydrogen” using carbon capture and storage technology.
A joint venture between J-Power and Sumitomo Corporation will supply 30,000 tonnes of clean hydrogen a year to JSE’s Port of Hastings facility, an announcement said.” that would see Australia generating greenhouse gas emissions onshore while exporting a cleaner fuel. Jeremy Stone, non-executive director of J-Power Latrobe Valley, said they were “moving from start-up to scale-up phase” and commercial scale hydrogen could be a “catalyst for growth” in the Gippsland region.As the traditional coal industry shuttered, with the Loy Yang power station set to close in 2035, Stone said the HESC project could give new options for jobs in the region.
