Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (“Kawasaki”) is committed to the realisation of a commercial scale project to produce clean liquefied hydrogen and transport it to Japan.
As part of the development process, Japan Suiso Energy (JSE) was awarded funding from the Japanese Government to progress the commercial demonstration phase (CDP) of the project. A condition of this funding was that the CDP be completed by 2030.
To meet this deadline, JSE made a decision to amend the scope of the commercial demonstration phase of the project, and that will now be undertaken in Japan. This will ensure the completion of the demonstration of the commercial-scale facilities for commercialisation by 2030.
Kawasaki will continue with feasibility studies for the Victoria to Japan project.
This change does not impact the J-Power and Sumitomo Corporation Joint Venture’s commitment to continue working to produce clean hydrogen extracted from Latrobe Valley coal with carbon capture and storage at a fully commercial scale.
