Japan will hold talks with Malaysia on storing Japanese power plants and industrial emissions of carbon dioxide in the Southeast Asian nation, with an aim of sending the first shipment in 2028. Yasutoshi Nishimura, Japan's minister for economy, trade and industry, is expected to meet with senior executives from Malaysia's state-run energy group Petronas during a series of Japanese-hosted conferences on decarbonisation starting Monday. Under the proposed projects, carbon dioxide emitted in Japan would be liquefied and transported by ship for storage at sites in Malaysia including offshore natural gas fields. Fuels with low environmental impact, such as hydrogen or ammonia, would be used to power the vessels.
