JERA and United Arab Emirates power producer TAQA, will consider developing low or zero-emission thermal power projects and other green projects, mainly in the Middle East, JERA said in a statement.
The move is part of their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to tackle global climate change. JERA sees the Middle East, which is rich in renewable energy resources, as a promising production base for green hydrogen and ammonia, and aims to create a global supply chain that combines large-scale renewable energy development with zero-emission thermal power.
Green hydrogen is produced when the electrolysers used to split water to produce it are powered by renewable energy.
