Tree Energy Solutions (TES), a global leader in producing eNG (electric natural gas from green H₂), and Saibu Gas, a major Japanese gas utility, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote eNG as a key clean energy source. This partnership supports Japan's goal to use e-NG for 90% of its City Gas consumption by 2050.

The agreement will help Saibu Gas provide stable, clean energy and achieve carbon neutrality in its city gas supply chain. The parties will explore opportunities including a long-term eNG offtake contract by Saibu Gas from TES production projects, where captured CO₂ is combined with green H₂ to create eNG that can be used as a drop in fuel at consumer’s facilities.

This collaboration with Saibu Gas will enable TES to establish an overseas supply chain for eNG into Asia and promote the introduction of eNG into the Japanese market. TES and Saibu Gas aim create a sustainable value chain, enabling Japan to meet its carbon neutrality goals by 2050 while ensuring a stable supply of clean energy.

Marco Alverá, CEO and Co-Founder of TES, said, “We acknowledge the profound significance of the Japanese LNG market and its influence both locally and globally. Together with Saibu Gas, we have the opportunity to drive meaningful progress in the transition towards greener alternatives for Japan’s energy sector.”
