Global engineering firm JGC Holdings Corporation (JGC) has been awarded a FEED contract for a green hydrogen and MCH (methylcyclohexane) plant in Malaysia by ENEOS Corporation (ENEOS) and Sumitomo Corporation (Sumitomo).
Expected to commence commercial operation by 2030, the green hydrogen plant will produce approximately 90,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2)-free hydrogen per year for conversion to MCH, a liquid organic hydrogen carrier.
When hydrogen is needed for applications such as chemical synthesis or fuel cell manufacture, it can be stored inside MCH as a way to transport and store the gas safely and efficiently.
Having signed an MOU in 2020, the partners launched a feasibility study in January 2021. A joint development agreement was then signed by ENOS, Sumitomo and SEDC Energy (SEDCE) at the end of 2023 to create a CO2-free hydrogen supply chain by converting clean hydrogen from hydroelectric power plants to MCH.
