Tokyo Gas and Teralta partner to advance e-methane project development in Canada
Tokyo Gas Co. Ltd. has entered into an agreement with Teralta Hydrogen Solutions Inc., a Canadian leader in scalable e-NG production, to advance development of e-NG (electric natural gas, widely referred to in Japan as e-methane), projects starting in Canada. Based on this agreement, Tokyo Gas and Teralta will proceed with joint efforts to produce e-NG for export to Japan.
Teralta is advancing multiple e-NG project opportunities across North America, including an e-NG project in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada which utilizes by-product green hydrogen derived from hydroelectric power and CO₂ from existing industrial sources. The e-NG from this project is estimated to be ready for export to Japan by around FY2030.
The partnership with Teralta helps Tokyo Gas make progress towards its target of replacing volumes equivalent to 1% of its city gas sales with e-NG and biomethane [renewable natural gas (RNG)] by 2030, and more than ten times that amount by FY2040. Through collaborations with a wide range of partners in Japan and overseas, Tokyo Gas will contribute to the Japanese government’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
Simon Pickup, CEO, Teralta Hydrogen Solutions Inc., said: “We are excited to partner with Tokyo Gas to deliver cost-competitive e-NG. At the core of our model is Teralta’s innovative TERAscale process—born from deep operational experience and targeted refinements to proven technologies—which enables superior hydrogen output at materially lower cost. Combined with our ability to leverage existing infrastructure, this creates a faster, more capital-efficient pathway to supply Japan with reliable, low-carbon e-NG.”
Kentaro Kimoto, Representative Corporate Executive Officer, Vice President, CTO, Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., said: “We are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Teralta on the e-NG project in Canada, which utilizes by-product green hydrogen, to jointly drive this project forward. Through this initiative, we will make steady progress toward both realizing a carbon-neutral society and ensuring a stable energy supply, which are core objectives of our company.”
