In Belgium, Tree Energy Solutions (TES), a specialist in producing e-NG (electric natural gas from green hydrogen), said it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saibu Gas, a major Japanese gas utility, 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, TES said. The firm added that 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, said: “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.”
