Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) co-hosted an international workshop with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) on December 2, 2022 on the theme "QUAD workshop on Ammonia Value Chain"
On the occasion of QUAD (Japan-Australia-India-the U.S.) leaders’ meeting in Tokyo in May 2022, Quad leaders agreed to launch the Quad Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Package (Q-CHAMPnote) as a measure to further advance practical cooperation in addressing climate change. Under this framework, the Workshop was held aiming to discuss the necessary initiatives and collaboration among Quad members and find solutions for the challenges on the ammonia value chain through sharing the strategies and trends related to ammonia of member countries and specific challenges and visions from industry.
The Workshop attracted interest and received about 500 online registrations from QUAD countries. 18 presentations were made by government officials, companies, and industry associations from member countries, and through 3 panel discussions, valuable opinions were exchanged to promote international collaboration between ammonia producing and consuming countries and the building of the ammonia value chain.
JOGMEC will continue to contribute to achieving a carbon-neutrality by supporting projects of decarbonized fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen.

Ammonia Value Chain
Challenge(1) Clean ammonia value chain
| Speakers | JOGMEC, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Corporation, Woodside Energy Group Ltd, Mitsui E&P Australia Pty Ltd, Denbury Inc. |
|---|---|
| content | As the supply side, challenges in the current specific projects in the U.S. and Australia and thought-provoking requests such as the need of incentives for pioneering projects were shown. |
Panel Discussion
Panel Discussion
Challenge(2) GHG emission and measurement of Carbon Intensity
| Speakers | JOGMEC, Clean Fuel Ammonia Association (CFAA), the United states/Ammonia Energy Association (AEA), Australia/DCCEEW |
|---|---|
| content | Each speaker introduced its approach to GHG emissions accounting and certification systems for ammonia production. For promoting investment, the necessity of internationally harmonized calculation methods, useful system design, and cooperation from industry essential for tracking were referred. The Australian government, AEA, CFAA, and JOGMEC pledged to continue discussions for collaboration on an international certification system. |
