Join us for an in-depth webinar on advancing clean hydrogen projects in the US and Japan. Designed for industry stakeholders, this session will tackle pressing issues and showcase promising solutions in hydrogen finance, infrastructure, and policy. Here’s what you can expect:
Challenges in US Upstream Development
Gain insights into financing barriers for hydrogen and CCUS projects in the US, where commercial banks, eager to support sustainable initiatives, face risk hurdles.
Explore why only 20% of global low-carbon hydrogen projects reach FID and the impact of regional market dynamics on developing export hubs.
Learn about effective risk management strategies, such as using mature technologies, partnering with reputable contractors, and securing long-term off-take agreements to increase project bankability.
Japan’s Financial Support for Hydrogen
Discover Japan’s innovative financial models, including the Japan Hydrogen Fund (JH2A) and a 15-year Contract-for-Difference (CfD) scheme aimed at closing the price gap with conventional fuels.
Understand how industrial heavyweights like Toyota, Iwatani, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking are advancing hydrogen’s role in Japan’s carbon-neutrality goals.
Highlighting Key US Hydrogen Projects for Japan
Get a closer look at strategic US Gulf Coast projects, such as the Lake Charles Clean Ammonia Project and ExxonMobil’s Baytown Blue Hydrogen Project, which are positioned to secure Japan’s clean energy supply.
Examine the MVCE Gulf Coast MCH Export Project, backed by Japan’s ENEOS Corporation, showcasing cross-border collaboration in hydrogen production.
Infrastructure for Japan’s Hydrogen Imports
Delve into Japan’s expanding hydrogen and ammonia import infrastructure, with large-scale facilities planned by Idemitsu and Mitsubishi to support industrial demands.
Learn about Japan’s advances in hydrogen shipping and storage, featuring Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ pioneering liquefied hydrogen vessel and terminal.
This webinar provides a roadmap for investors, developers, and policy-makers navigating the clean hydrogen market in the US and Japan.
