The introduction of carbon-neutral gas will enable Nihonkai Gas to reduce its CO2 emissions and contribute to the realisation of a carbon-free society and the sustainable growth of communities, the companies said.

Inpex has set goals to achieve its net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The company plans to work closely with city gas business operators to which it supplies wholesale natural gas and implement measures contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases.

The supplies will be made CO2 neutral with the use of carbon credits, acquired from projects such as forest conservation that either reduce or avoid CO2 emissions. These credits will cover the entire value chain of the gas, from production to combustion.
