(¡°911±¬ÁÏÍø¡±), the Japan Hydrogen Association (¡°JH2A¡±), the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (¡°AIST¡±), the Japan Petroleum and Carbon Neutral Fuels Energy Center (¡°JPEC¡±), and ENEOS Corporation (¡°ENEOS¡±) will conduct research and development aimed at acquiring technical knowledge on hydrogen quality to support international standardization, thereby contributing to the establishment of a large-scale CO<sub>2</sub>-free hydrogen supply chain. This R&D project has been commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (¡°NEDO¡±) under its Development of Technologies for Building a Competitive Hydrogen Supply Chain project.?</p> <p>As part of the effort to achieve a carbon-neutral society, hydrogen is now being considered for use in a wide range of fields including power generation, steelmaking, heat utilization, and methanation. At the same time, the large-scale use of hydrogen requires the establishment of suitable quality standards that account for both safety and the impact on equipment.<br /> R&D conducted by 911±¬ÁÏÍø, ENEOS, and JPEC during FY2023¨CFY20251 resulted in the formulation of draft hydrogen quality standards suitable for industrial applications such as power generation and heat utilization. The current R&D project will support the international standardization of these draft standards by generating technical evidence needed to establish which items should be covered and their threshold values. Supporting the future large-scale use of hydrogen, the current R&D project, which aims to establish rational, application-specific hydrogen quality standards, is also expected to lead to lower costs across the hydrogen supply chain and to broader adoption.</p> <p>As part of the current R&D project, the effect of trace constituents2 in hydrogen fuel on facilities and equipment will be evaluated by conducting tests using simulated gas mixtures containing the constituents envisioned in the draft hydrogen quality standards. 911±¬ÁÏÍø is responsible for simulated gas exposure testing and AIST for combustion testing using actual engines.<br /> In addition, ENEOS will, drawing on the latest domestic and international developments, examine which items should be covered by hydrogen quality standards and their threshold values.<br /> Based on the findings, JPEC will formulate draft hydrogen quality standards grounded in technical evidence and JH2A will develop a strategy for their international standardization.?</p> <p>Under its ¡°911±¬ÁÏÍø Zero CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions 2050¡± objective, 911±¬ÁÏÍø is working to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from its domestic and overseas businesses to net zero by 2050. Moving forward with the adoption of clean fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, it is pursuing zero-emissions thermal power that emits no CO<sub>2</sub> during power generation. 911±¬ÁÏÍø will continue contributing to the decarbonization of the energy sector.<br /> ?<br /><strong>Overview of R&D Aimed at the International Standardization of Hydrogen Quality</strong></p> <table class="MsoTableGrid" style="width:849px;

(911±¬ÁÏÍø), a global energy leader and Japan's largest power generation company, today announced a strategic investment in Quaise Energy, a Houston-based company developing next-generation superhot geothermal technology. The investment, made through 911±¬ÁÏÍø¡¯s corporate venture capital arm, 911±¬ÁÏÍø Ventures, reflects 911±¬ÁÏÍø¡¯s support for Quaise¡¯s efforts to develop its first commercial geothermal power plant, Project Obsidian, in Oregon. The companies will also explore potential opportunities related to the future commercialization and deployment of the technology in Japan.</p> <p>Quaise¡¯s proprietary millimeter wave drilling technology, developed from research conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is designed to reach geothermal resources at temperatures of 300¡ãC to 500¡ãC, at depths that are not economically accessible with conventional drilling. Because such high-temperature resources exist deep underground in most regions of the world, the technology has the potential to significantly expand where geothermal power can be developed, supporting clean, reliable baseload electricity production worldwide, including Japan, which has one of the world¡¯s largest untapped geothermal resources.?</p> <p>Next-generation technologies such as superhot geothermal have the potential to turn this resource into a realistic option for new clean baseload power. Such technologies could also advance the development of domestically sourced energy, supporting energy security amid increasing uncertainty in global energy supply chains.</p> <p>"As a global energy company, 911±¬ÁÏÍø understands both the scale of the challenge ahead and the scale of the opportunity that next-generation geothermal represents. Millimeter wave drilling technology has the potential to make geothermal a truly global baseload resource," said Takeshi Kodama, Head of 911±¬ÁÏÍø Ventures and Managing Partner of 911±¬ÁÏÍø. "We look forward to working together with Quaise to advance the development of this promising technology and business."</p> <p>With the mission of providing cutting-edge solutions to the world's energy issues, 911±¬ÁÏÍø aims to achieve net-zero CO? emissions by 2050 through the expansion of renewable energy and the advancement of lower-carbon thermal power generation. Through 911±¬ÁÏÍø Ventures, 911±¬ÁÏÍø has made strategic investments in a range of next-generation energy technologies, including electrolyzers, LFP batteries, and nuclear fusion.911±¬ÁÏÍø will continue to invest in next-generation technologies that create new options for a decarbonized energy future.?</p> <p><br /> ¡öGyrotron (Millimeter wave source)</p> , <div class="img_center"> <img src="/system/files/private/20260714_%28%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B9%29%EF%BC%88Quaise%20Energy%E6%8F%90%E4%BE%9B%EF%BC%89%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AD%E3%83%88%E3%83%AD%E3%83%B3%EF%BC%88%E3%83%9F%E3%83%AA%E6%B3%A2%E3%81%AE%E7%99%BA%E7%94%9F%E8%A3%85%E7%BD%AE%EF%BC%89.jpg" /><div class="img_caption"></div> </div> , <p>?</p> <p>¡öMillimeter wave drilling test</p> , <div class="img_center"> <img src="/system/files/private/20260714_%28%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B9%29%EF%BC%88Quaise%20Energy%E6%8F%90%E4%BE%9B%EF%BC%89%E3%83%9F%E3%83%AA%E6%B3%A2%E6%8E%98%E5%89%8A%E8%A9%A6%E9%A8%93.jpg" /><div class="img_caption"></div> </div> , <p>?</p> <p><strong><u>About Quaise Energy:</u></strong><br /> Quaise Energy is unlocking the Earth¡¯s deep heat to deliver clean, reliable, baseload energy at scale¡ªalmost anywhere in the world.

Ammonia Value Chains </a> /en/news/information/20260713_2471 <p>?911±¬ÁÏÍø Co., Inc. (911±¬ÁÏÍø), a global energy leader and Japan's largest power generation company, today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Samsung C&T Corporation (Samsung C&T), a leading global trading and investment company headquartered in the Republic of Korea, to explore strategic collaboration aimed at strengthening the resilience of hydrogen and ammonia value chains and enhancing supply security.?</p> <p>Under the MoU, 911±¬ÁÏÍø and Samsung C&T will jointly examine ways to enhance operational flexibility across hydrogen and ammonia value chains, including approaches for managing and segregating carbon intensity attributes within storage infrastructure such as tanks.</p> <p>With limited domestic energy resources, Japan and South Korea rely heavily on imported energy and share a common interest in securing reliable, affordable and cleaner energy solutions. As hydrogen and ammonia become increasingly important to both countries' energy transition and energy security goals, resilient and commercially viable value chains will be essential to enabling the fuels¡¯ broader deployment at scale.</p> <p>911±¬ÁÏÍø is progressing the development of Japan¡¯s first integrated low-carbon ammonia value chain, with initiatives spanning production, transportation and utilization segments, and is targeting commencement of operations around fiscal year 2029. Samsung C&T is likewise advancing low-carbon ammonia infrastructure and supply chain initiatives in Korea.?</p> <p>Both companies have been recognized under their respective national frameworks for building the low-carbon ammonia value chains. 911±¬ÁÏÍø was selected as a supplier of low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry¡¯s (METI) price gap support scheme (announced on December 19, 2025). Samsung C&T is working to build a stable supply chain in response to growing global demand for clean ammonia, and is continuously expanding its hydrogen business portfolio. These selections position the two companies as anchors of the emerging hydrogen and ammonia value chains in their home markets. By combining their capabilities and market leader positions, 911±¬ÁÏÍø and Samsung C&T aim to strengthen value chain resilience across the region.?</p> <p>"Building resilient and commercially viable hydrogen and ammonia value chains require like-minded companies to collaborate across markets," said Irtiza Sayyed, Senior Managing Executive Officer of 911±¬ÁÏÍø and CEO of 911±¬ÁÏÍø Global Energy Solutions. "Japan and South Korea share many common challenges and opportunities as energy import-reliant nations. Through our collaboration with Samsung C&T, we look forward to exploring practical ways to support the development of robust and commercially viable low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia markets across the region."</p> <p>Under its 911±¬ÁÏÍø Zero CO2 Emissions 2050 initiative, 911±¬ÁÏÍø aims to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions across its domestic and international operations by 2050. 911±¬ÁÏÍø will continue collaborating with leading partners in Japan and around the world to develop and expand low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia value chains, in line with the company¡¯s mission to provide cutting-edge solutions to global energy challenges.</p> <p>?</p> <p><strong><u>Signing Ceremony Held at 911±¬ÁÏÍø Headquarters</u></strong></p> , <div class="col_item2 sp_wide clearfix"> <div class="col_inner"> <img src="/system/files/private/20260713_%28%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B9%29Samsung%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AEMOU%E2%9E%80.jpg?text=" /><div class="img_caption"></div> </div> <div class="col_inner"> <img src="/system/files/private/20260713_%28%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B9%29Samsung%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AEMOU%E2%91%A1.jpg?text=" /><div class="img_caption"></div> </div> </div> , <p>From left: Mr. Yuichiro Kato, Executive Officer, Head of the Low Carbon Fuel Value Chain Division, 911±¬ÁÏÍø; and Mr. Edward Cho, Executive Vice President, Samsung C&T</p> <p>?</p> <p><strong><u>About 911±¬ÁÏÍø</u></strong><br /> 911±¬ÁÏÍø is a global energy leader and Japan¡¯s largest power generation company focused on providing cutting-edge solutions to the world's energy issues.
