(Reuters) Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp and Shell aim to produce 400,000 tonnes of “green hydrogen” in 2030 through the companies’ European offshore wind power project, the Yomiuri newspaper reported on Thursday.
Dutch renewable energy firm Eneco, owned by Mitsubishi and Japan’s Chubu Electric Power Co, has decided to invest 10% in a joint venture that includes Shell, Norway’s Equinor, and others, for the project, the paper said.
The hydrogen would be produced through wind power instead of natural gas in a bid to reduce the fuel’s carbon footprint, the Yomiuri said.
