Osaka Gas and MHI Launch CO₂NNEX® Digital Platform for Management and Transfer of Clean Gas Certificates for e-Methane, for Use during Expo 2025

Unlocking the Power of CO₂: A Future Driven by e-Methane Technology

The Role of CO₂NNEX in Expo 2025

The CO₂NNEX platform stands at the forefront of innovative technology, marking a significant milestone at Expo 2025. Scheduled to support Osaka Gas’ cutting-edge e-methane production and utilization demonstration, the platform paints a vivid picture of the future.

By accumulating data and providing transparency on e-methane biogas production, raw materials used, and CO₂ emissions across the life cycle, CO₂NNEX ensures that clean gas certificates’ management is efficient and user-friendly. This initiative is not only a technological marvel but also an environmental triumph, contributing greatly to the carbon neutrality of the Expo. Read more about the press release.

Building a Carbon-Neutral Future

Osaka Gas, in collaboration with MHI, has strategically enlisted the Japan Gas Association and leading energy companies to enhance the efficiency and reliability of their operations. Their concerted efforts ensure a robust system for the transfer and management of clean gas certificates, a key component in the decarbonization drive supported by initiatives like the carbon-neutral Gas Pavilion.

Did you know? The implementation of the CO₂NNEX platform has opened avenues for practical CO₂ utilization technologies, such as e-methane and recycled carbon fuels, anticipated to revolutionize the energy landscape in the upcoming years.

Future Prospects for CCU and CCS Technologies

CCU (Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilization) and CCS (Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage) technologies hold promising potential in addressing global CO₂ challenges. Practical applications such as e-methane and e-fuels emphasize their growing importance.

As per Osaka Gas and MHI, CO₂NNEX might soon be pivotal in managing CO₂ distribution in CCS projects. This innovative approach could cement their role in establishing a comprehensive CO₂ value chain, paving the way for a more sustainable future. Learn more about this development.

Expanding the Adoption of Clean Gas Certificates

With the private sector adoption of Clean Gas Certificates since April 2024, the landscape of environmental certification is witnessing rapid evolution. The anticipated rise in e-methane and biogas transactions signifies a surge in eco-friendly solutions in the energy market.

Pro tip: Leveraging results from CO₂NNEX at the Expo can significantly bolster society’s e-methane technology application, helping the world transition toward carbon neutrality by 2030.
