A joint study was announced in Hamanaka City, Hokkaido, to evaluate the production and utilization of biomethane from animal manure from local dairy farms. This collaboration brings together Hamanaka City, JA Hamanaka, Takanashi Milk Products Co, Ltd, Hokkaido Gas Co, Ltd, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd (MOL) and MOL Sunflower Ltd, who will join forces to advance the use of renewable energy in the region.
Biomethane from animal manure will be key in Hamanaka
Biomethane, which is obtained by processing agricultural waste processing agricultural waste, such as manure, represents asuch as manure, represents a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels. In particular, it is expected that biomethane can be used in existing infrastructure for transportation and energy consumption, providing an efficient solution for reducing carbon emissions.
The city of Hamanaka, with its thriving dairy industry, is in an ideal position to explore this technology. The objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of using locally produced biomethane as a fuel in factories and ships, replacing liquefied natural gas (LNG) and helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 25% to 40%. This joint effort represents an important step towards carbon neutrality by 2050.
Study participants will contribute their experience in biomethane production, distribution and utilization, with the hope of establishing a model that can be replicated in other regions. This project underscores the importance of cross-sectoral collaborations to achieve ambitious goals in the fight against climate change. climate change.
