CO₂ Compression Facilities (Higashi-Niigata Area)

Chiyoda is conducting the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for CO₂ compression facilities in Higashi-Niigata for Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd (JAPEX).

Through Public Solicitation by the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC), JAPEX, MITSUBISHI GAS CHEMICAL COMPANY, INC., Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc., and Hokuetsu Corporation (Four Companies) have been entrusted to execute ‘Engineering Design Work for Advanced Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Projects’ relating to design and related works for CCS projects in the Higashi-Niigata area for fiscal year 2024.

Following a feasibility study conducted in last year, the Four Companies will conduct ‘basic engineering design for a CCS value chain’ and ‘assessment on CO₂ storage potential at the planned CO₂ storage site’, aiming to launch the CCS project by the year 2030 in the Higashi-Niigata area, a target region in the ‘Niigata Carbon Neutrality Site Development and Foundation Establishment Strategy’ unveiled in March 2023 by the Niigata Prefecture.

Chiyoda was awarded the FEED work by JAPEX to develop CO₂ injection facilities, following a conceptual design study of CCS injection facilities conducted last year. This involves designing equipment that will transport CO₂ emitted by the Four Companies to the injection wellhead. Chiyoda actively supports the implementation of equipment to compress CO₂ at the inlet of injection wells through this FEED work.
