JAPEX joined a multi-company project to switch Higashine Omori Industrial Park in Yamagata from oil-based fuels to natural gas.
The plan uses an LNG satellite station, gas retailing, and steam supply services to serve sites outside the city-gas grid.
Expected CO2 reduction totals about 1,600 tons a year across participating industrial users.
The initiative was selected under Japan’s Ministry of the Environment SHIFT Project as the first joint project involving multiple businesses.
