ATCO and The Kansai Electric Power Co are collaborating to develop an integrated clean fuels supply chain between Canada and Japan, according to a news release.
The companies have completed a pre-feasibility study to produce clean hydrogen and its derivatives in Canada, spanning the entire value chain, with end product arriving in Japan. ATCO is acting through its subsidiary Canadian Utilities Limited.
Clean hydrogen would be produced via Auto Thermal Reforming with carbon capture and sequestration in Alberta to develop hydrogen and its derivatives to be transported to Canada’s west coast before being shipped to Japan.
Feasibility evaluation of the entire value chain between Canada and Japan is ongoing and representatives from Kansai visited Canada in early March to investigate the production site area and the proposed locations for rail loading and port infrastructure.
