Japanese conglomerate Marubeni Corporation has struck a significant deal with ExxonMobil for the supply of approximately 250,000 tonnes per year of low-carbon ammonia sourced from ExxonMobil’s planned facility in Baytown, Texas. The ammonia will help Japan in reducing emissions from its power sector, aligning with the country's decarbonization goals. Marubeni has also agreed to acquire an equity stake in ExxonMobil’s Baytown facility, which is set to become one of the world’s largest low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia plants. The partnership aims to support Japan's efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors like steel manufacturing and transportation. The Kobe Power Plant, a subsidiary of Kobe Steel, plans to co-fire low-carbon ammonia with existing fuels by 2030. This initiative not only contributes to emissions reduction but also strengthens the global low-carbon supply chain and promotes clean energy projects in Japan and Southeast Asia.
