Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd. (JAPEX) and JGC Corporation (JGC) are pleased to
announce that JAPEX and JGC have commenced the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED(*1)
) work
(hereinafter the” FEED Work”) for CO2 Onshore Terminal and Receiving Jetty Topside of the Carbon
Capture and Storage(*2) in Sarawak, Malaysia (hereafter “Eastern CCS Hub Project”or “ECH Project”).
JGC has received an order to conduct the FEED Work as a FEED specialist.
The FEED Work is an initiative following the agreement entrusted by Japan Organization for
Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) for the design work, etc. related to the Eastern CCS Hub
Project (*3)
.
The ECH project will involve the international transport of CO2 from Japan to Malaysia, making
it the first commercial project in the world to involve transport at low temperatures and low pressures
conditions .
In this FEED Work, JAPEX along with other partners (*2) conduct joint technical and commercial
studies on CO2 Onshore Terminal and Receiving Jetty Topside by utilizing the experience and
knowledge of planning, designing and operating of oil and gas fields.
JGC has a track record of conducting feasibility studies for CCS facilities, as well as design and
construction, and will use this knowledge to undertake the FEED Work. Through the provision of this
FEED, JGC will support the early realization of its customers’ CCS businesses and contribute to the
realization of decarbonization in the region.
By promoting the FEED Work with the aim of early commercialize the ECH project, JAPEX and
other partners will contribute towards carbon neutrality in 2050, including the realization of a decarbonized society in Asia targeted by the “Asia Energy Transition Initiative (AETI)”
