JAPEX Joined Global CCS Institute, the world’s leading CCS think tank

Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd. (JAPEX) has joined Global CCS Institute (Head office: Melbourne, Australia, hereafter "GCCSI"), the international think tank whose mission is to accelerate the deployment of CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage) globally.

GCCSI is an international organization established in 2009, led by the Australian Government. Its international memberships include governments, global corporations, private companies, research bodies, and non-governmental organizations. GCCSI shares expertise and data regarding CCS to accelerate the deployment of CCS technologies worldwide.

JAPEX recognizes that CCS/CCUS (Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage) is an essential technology to achieve net-zero. Under the recognition, we have been working toward the practical application of CO₂ injection and storage technology and the launch of the CCS/CCUS project, based on the expertise acquired by oil and natural gas development and production (E&P: exploration and production). Besides, we position our efforts for CCS/CCUS as one of the priority items for the medium- to long-term on "JAPEX 2050" as our carbon neutral direction and objective developed in May 2021 and "JAPEX Management Plan 2022-2030" formulated in March 2022.

By utilizing GCCSI's expertise and membership networks for our further efforts regarding CCS/CCUS, JAPEX aims to contribute to realize carbon-neutral society by 2050.
