JGC awarded EPC contract for hydrogen project in Australia

JGC Holdings Corporation (Representative Director, Chairman and CEO Masayuki Sato) announced today that JGC Corporation Oceania Pty Ltd in Australia, the 100%-owned subsidiary of JGC Corporation (Representative Director and President Farhan Mujib) which operates the overseas engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) business of the JGC Group, has been awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for a hydrogen project in Australia planned by Sumitomo Corporation's subsidiary Summit Hydrogen Gladstone Pty Ltd in collaboration with Rio Tinto Ltd.

The project is planned at the site of an alumina refinery plant owned and operated by Rio Tinto, and calls for the production of 250 tons of hydrogen per year by a 2.5MW electrolyzer, with EPC completion slated for 2024. Plant CO2 emissions will be reduced by converting part of the fuel for the burners used in the alumina production process from conventional natural gas to hydrogen in the future.

Starting from the feasibility study phase of the project, JGC has consistently supported the client. We believe that JGC's EPC execution capabilities in particular were highly evaluated, leading to the contract as the first EPC project awarded to JGC in the field of hydrogen plants with proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers.

By successfully completing this project, the JGC Group will contribute to business expansion into the clean energy field, such as hydrogen and ammonia, as well as the realization of a decarbonized society.
