J-Power said it is taking on the challenge of realising carbon-neutral and hydrogen society as stated in J-Power Blue Mission 2050 announced in February this year. As one of the initiatives in this challenge, CCUS technology development is underway aiming for transition to CO2-free hydrogen energy made from coal with CCUS/carbon recycling, the company said.
