Australia, Japan partner on decarbonisation

Australia and Japan will work together to make low and zero emissions technologies globally scalable and commercially viable, Australian prime minister Scott Morrison said on June 13.

Japan and Australia are determined to make low and zero emissions technologies that will underpin decarbonisation strategies to make them globally scalable and commercially viable, through collaboration on technology research and development, in order to rapidly accelerate global emissions reduction and reach net-zero emissions,” Morrison said.

Canberra and Tokyo will collaborate and coordinate together with key like-minded partners regionally and multilaterally, on ways to support the economic growth of the Indo-Pacific region and particularly amongst Asean members.

This commitment will be displayed, by supporting regional partners in their pragmatic and clean energy transitions in various forms, which reflect their own circumstances and increasingly utilise low and zero emissions technologies and energy resources, to meet the region’s growing energy demands,” the prime minister said.

Japan and Australia will jointly support initiatives that will help drive the transitions to net-zero emissions. They will focus on lower emissions LNG production, transport and use; clean fuel ammonia, clean hydrogen and derivatives produced from renewable energy or from fossil fuels with carbon capture utilisation and storage; carbon recycling; and low emissions steel and iron ore.

Morrison said this partnership builds on initiatives such as the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain, the Japan-Australia Energy and Resources Dialogue and the Australia-Japan Joint Statement of Cooperation on Hydrogen and Fuel Cells.

“We take on to develop initiatives under this partnership as soon as possible, with the aim of further progress in advance of COP26,” Morrison said.
