Tuesday, January 18 Concluded a cooperation agreement for a verification test of methanation

Last Updated January 19, 2022

Yokohama City has concluded a cooperation agreement with Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., and in a demonstration test of methanation (*) conducted at Tokyo Gas Yokohama Techno Station in Suehiro-cho, Tsurumi-ku, biomass-derived resources (CO2, etc.) from the adjacent Motoichi Sewerage Center and waste incineration plant to support the development of technologies that contribute to decarbonization. In concluding the cooperation agreement, we held a meeting with Takafumi Uchida, President and Representative Executive Officer of Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd.
The Suehiro district of Tsurumi Ward is home to a variety of production functions and R&D bases. Going forward, in cooperation with related companies, we will continue our efforts to make the Suehiro area a model area for decarbonization in the coastal area.

※Methanation is a technology that generates methane (CH4), which is the main component of city gas, through the reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2). In the future, we aim to prevent new CO2 emissions by recycling CO2 to produce city gas.
