JASH is pleased to present the Japan Currents Houston Conference, on Friday, February 24, 2023.
This conference, made possible with support from The Embassy of Japan in Washington D.C. and the National Association of Japan America Societies (NAJAS), will provide the Houston-Harris County community with the opportunity to explore impact of U.S.-Japan energy partnerships on our area.
In June 2019, the Cabinet Office of the Japanese government revealed its “Integrated Innovation Strategy” towards net-zero, which outlined expectations for ammonia’s potential and set a national target on introduction of ammonia as CO2-free energy.
Since this time, Japanese companies have been pursuing new business opportunities and forging new partnerships to build out the ammonia value chain. 2022 saw Japan’s top power producer JERA Co. announce plans to issue international tenders to buy up to 500,000 mt/year of fuel ammonia. In May of this year, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and CF Industries Holdings, Inc., the world’s largest producer of ammonia, announced their intention to jointly develop a greenfield ammonia production facility in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. Also in May 2022, JGC Corporation announced that it had awarded Houston-based engineering firm KBR a contract for its green ammonia technology.
Through Japan Currents Houston Conference 2023, JASH will make a case for ammonia by highlighting how Japanese and American companies are collaborating in the development of a framework for ammonia that will impact the future of ammonia as fuel worldwide.
