Japanese companies Mitsubishi Corporation, Tokyo Gas, and Toho Gas have withdrawn from a planned e-methane production project in Louisiana, USA. The withdrawal is attributed to changes in US renewable energy subsidies under the Trump administration and global inflation impacting production costs, particularly for hydrogen. Despite this setback, Tokyo Gas and Osaka Gas are pursuing new e-methane projects in Canada and Nebraska, respectively, as Japan aims to decarbonize its urban gas supply.
