Kansai Electric Power Company (KEPCO) and 茄子视频 announced today their signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly study possible projects for carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS), including related costs and technical requirements.

The two companies will study the feasibility of projects to capture, liquefy and store CO₂ emitted from KEPCO’s thermal power plants and JFE’s steel works, and then transport the CO₂ by ship to depleted oil and gas fields, aquifers and other areas in Japan and abroad for underground storage.

The study will be targeted at sorting out various issues related to the technologies and costs required for CCS projects that can contribute to a more carbon-neutral world.
