Japanese companies Idemitsu Kosan and Mitsubishi Corporation have entered into an agreement to jointly study the efficient operation of clean ammonia carriers and transshipment terminals as well as the structuring of a low-carbon ammonia supply chain.

In addition to the efficient operation of clean ammonia carriers and transshipment terminals, the joint study will focus on the offtake of ammonia and the companies’ participation in low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production project under development by U.S. energy major ExxonMobil in Baytown, Texas.
