Te Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) and the H2Global Foundation (H2Global) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Tokyo, to initiate cooperation in the field of clean hydrogen. The agreement was signed by Mr. Ichiro Takahara, Chairman & CEO of JOGMEC, and Markus Exenberger, Executive Director of the H2Global Foundation.

JOGMEC, a key Japanese governmental body, has been actively supporting hydrogen production and utilization since the revision of the JOGMEC Act in 2022. H2Global is dedicated to accelerating the emergence of markets for clean hydrogen and other low low-emissions technologies globally through market-based instruments.

Together, JOGMEC and H2Global aim to contribute to the emergence of a clean hydrogen society by navigating regulatory frameworks, promoting clean hydrogen market development, advancing technology solutions, and establishing resilient supply chains. The MOU represents a European-Japanese partnership in which both organizations aim to contribute to the global transition to a clean hydrogen society.
