Osaka Gas Seminar on Energy Transition and e-Methane

On February 16, the Japan Planning Institute (JPI) is hosting a crucial seminar featuring Mr. Kota Yokoyama, the manager of the Carbon Neutral Methane Development Team at Osaka Gas. He will elaborate on the company's initiatives toward energy transition and the technical advancements required for implementing e-methane in society.

As part of its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, Osaka Gas is actively pursuing various strategies to decarbonize city gas, shifting from natural gas to e-methane as the primary raw material.
