Japan’s JERA Co., Inc. and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly explore the development of low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia value chains in Thailand. The collaboration aims to assess the role of hydrogen and ammonia in Thailand’s future energy mix while supporting the country’s transition towards lower-carbon power generation.
Under the agreement, JERA and EGAT will identify and evaluate market opportunities for hydrogen and ammonia, including their technical, economic and commercial feasibility. The partners will also examine applications in power generation and fuel substitution, while assessing relevant policy, regulatory and environmental considerations to support future project development.
The initiative forms part of JERA’s broader strategy to expand low-carbon energy solutions across Asia. The company is currently developing Japan’s first integrated ammonia value chain, targeted for completion by fiscal year 2029. The Thailand partnership is expected to strengthen regional cooperation on clean fuels and support the development of hydrogen and ammonia infrastructure for decarbonising the power sector.
