Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (President: Masataka Fujiwara) has completed the establishment of the world’s first international alliance "e-NG Coalition" aimed at promoting the global spread of e-methane (hereinafter referred to as "e-methane") together with seven companies in the energy sector.
This alliance is an international federation of companies that believe e-methane will accelerate the energy transition towards a Carbon Neutrality society. On October 20, the alliance completed its establishment procedures with the granting of legal status in the Kingdom of Belgium. The aim is to promote e-methane, establish global markets through standardization of greenhouse gas emissions calculation criteria and certification criteria, strengthen cooperation among all stakeholders involved in the e-methane value chain, and act as a driving force for energy transition by promoting innovative technologies and advocating for climate change policies.
Through initiatives in this alliance, the Daigas Group aims to achieve the global spread of e-methane and the realization of a Carbon Neutrality society by collaborating across nations and industries.
