Japan Advances Ammonia Initiatives at CFAA International Symposium 2026
The 7th CFAA International Symposium in February 2026 highlighted progress on ammonia projects in Japan, featuring key speakers from METI, ammonia producers, and technology providers. Notable projects include Resonac's ammonia production from plastic waste gasification and substantial ammonia co-firing initiatives by JERA and Mitsui & Co. Japan has established a carbon intensity threshold for low-carbon ammonia. Upcoming collaborations include Idemitsu Kosan's ammonia terminal and NYK Line's ammonia-fueled vessels, demonstrating Japan's commitment to ammonia as a sustainable energy source.

The 7th CFAA International Symposium in February 2026 in Tokyo focused on ammonia projects in Japan, with around 450 participants. Key projects funded under METI's Contracts-for-Difference scheme include Resonac's 100,000 tons of ammonia production from waste gasification, JERA's 490,000 tons from Louisiana, and Mitsui & Co.'s 280,000 tons, primarily for co-firing.
Japan defined a low-carbon ammonia threshold of 0.87 tCO2e/tNH3. Idemitsu Kosan is developing an ammonia import terminal and collaborating on ExxonMobil's Baytown project. NYK Line is scaling up ammonia use in maritime transport, including retrofitting tugboats and constructing a gas carrier. IHI is testing ammonia co-firing and gas turbines, aiming for commercialization by 2030.
