Inpex starts CO2 injection at Kashiwazaki hydrogen park in Japan CCS demo project

• Inpex began injecting CO2 from blue hydrogen production into a depleted reservoir at the Higashi-Kashiwazaki Gas Field in Niigata.
• The move adds carbon capture and storage to its Kashiwazaki Hydrogen Park demonstration, aiming to cut emissions from hydrogen production.
• CO2 is captured using HiPACT, a high-pressure process designed to lower energy use and costs versus conventional capture methods.
• The project runs through Sept. 2026 under NEDO and JOGMEC programs, with operations slated to continue as a company-led initiative.
• Inpex targets expanding low-carbon solutions centered on CCS and hydrogen by 2035 under its Vision 2035 strategy.
