Cooperation for Clean Energy: MoU Signed Among ENTEC, Yachiyo Engineering and Atomis
On April 23, 2026, Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd., Atomis Co., Ltd., and the Energy Technology Center (ENTEC) of Thailand signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). This significant agreement aims to collaborate on innovative energy solutions to address the pressing challenges facing the energy sector in Thailand. The signing ceremony included notable attendees such as Japan's Ambassador to Thailand, Masato Otaka, and key representatives from the involved companies.
With the growing concern over energy security and the need for decarbonization, Thailand is currently facing a critical issue: the lack of an extensive city gas network, forcing many households to rely on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as their primary energy source. This dependence is becoming increasingly unsustainable due to rising energy prices, emphasizing the need for a transition in the energy structure.
Atomis Co., Ltd. is at the forefront of this transition with their cutting-edge high-pressure gas container, CubiTan®. Utilizing porous coordination polymers (PCP/MOF) as a gas adsorption medium, CubiTan® offers a revolutionary solution that facilitates several advancements:
The collaboration between Yachiyo Engineering and Atomis aims to maximize the functionalities of CubiTan® through the Smart Gas Network Initiative. This plan seeks to provide a smart delivery, billing, and management service that does not rely on traditional pipeline systems, thereby contributing to both energy security and the reduction of carbon footprints.
Yachiyo and Atomis have previously participated in the National Science and Technology Fair organized by Thailand's Ministry of Higher Education, consistently promoting the capabilities of CubiTan®. Furthermore, to inspire innovation in the energy sector, they brought in Special Professor Susumu Kitagawa from Kyoto University—renowned for his work in PCP/MOF development and a prospective 2025 Nobel Prize winner—to deliver a special lecture at Thai-Nichi Institute of Technology in Bangkok.
The MoU marks a milestone in the longstanding efforts to foster cutting-edge developments in the energy sector, paving the way for innovative research, development, and social implementation of energy solutions employing PCP/MOF technologies. As part of this agreement, Yachiyo Engineering and Atomis will also align their efforts with Thailand's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Power Development Plan (PDP) to effectively contribute to a transformative energy landscape.
The partnership is expected to facilitate significant advancements in clean energy technology, further propelling the energy sector in Thailand towards a sustainable future. This commitment not only represents a strategic alliance between major players in the energy industry but also reflects a concerted effort to address global challenges such as climate change through innovative solutions.
