PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (MHI-AP) to jointly study the technologies required to develop a large-scale petrochemical complex that aims to support Thailand’s Carbon Neutrality by 2050. This collaboration between GC and MHI-AP will involve the study of solutions that use low carbon fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, as well as Carbon Capture and Storage technologies.
PTT Global Chemical and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Asia Pacific sign MoU to explore technologies to re-design existing assets into an economically viable carbon neutral petrochemical complex in Thailand
The MOU covers a total duration of 4 years and includes two main objectives to assess the feasibility of applying decarbonization technologies to GC’s assets. The first is to conduct research to compare the feasibility of using hydrogen and ammonia as fuels for gas turbines, as well as CCS technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power generators. The second objective is to assess how CCS technologies can best be applied and optimized for the Steam-Methane Reforming (SMR) process. MHI-AP will support this through providing carbon capture technologies as well as hydrogen combustion gas turbines and ammonia gas turbines.
This collaboration is aligned with Thailand’s announcement to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and with GC’s operational strategies for robust and sustainable business growth alongside partners under the concept “Together to Net Zero”, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2030 and achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Mr. Toasaporn Boonyapipat, Chief Operating Officer of GC’s Base and Intermediate Chemicals Business, stated that GC operates its business strategy known as ‘3 Steps Plus.’ This strategy includes Step Change, enhancing competitiveness; Step Out, seeking growth opportunities in new or international markets; and Step Up, a commitment to sustainable business practices, aiming to become a Net Zero Company. One of the initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions responsibly involves researching ways to improve and develop processes by integrating modern technologies. For instance, hydrogen/ammonia can be incorporated as fuel in power generation instead of natural gas to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Mr. Osamu Ono, Managing Director of MHI-AP, said: “Low-carbon fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia and CCS technologies have great potential in reducing carbon emissions from existing energy infrastructure. MHI-AP is honored to partner with GC to explore how we can utilize our technology and expertise to reduce carbon emissions from GC’s existing business assets and support the establishment of an economically viable large-scale carbon neutral petrochemical plant.”
This collaboration between GC and MHI-AP is a pivotal part of a broader initiative involving numerous prominent global firms to foster an environmentally friendly industry.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) and Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) are pleased to announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to begin discussions toward the creation of new businesses with an aim of leveraging the strengths of both companies to build sustainable business models in light of anticipated growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market toward a decarbonized future society. The two companies will explore the possibility of new businesses with a goal to increase the value offered to customers through their EV and EV battery business. Details are explained below.
1. Battery Lifetime Management Business
This new business would aim to maximize the value of batteries to be installed in Honda mini-EV models, that are scheduled to begin sales in Japan in 2024. By employing a sophisticated battery-monitoring system, the new business would manage and maximize the value of each battery throughout its lifetime shifting from powering EVs to use as stationary energy storage.
2. Smart-charging(1) and V2G(2) Energy Management Business
This new business would help EV users to optimize their electricity costs by offering access to smart-charging, V2G services and green (renewable) power which leverages advanced control technologies for the energy management system.
(1) Smart charging systems automatically adjust the timing of EV charging to avoid peak load periods and optimize energy consumption. (2) Vehicle to Grid: In a V2G system, EVs will not only be charged with the electricity from the grid but also supply electricity to the grid to help meet local electricity needs.
Toshihiro Mibe, Global CEO of Honda
“Preparing for the era of full-fledged popularization of EVs, Honda will not only sell EVs, but take a proactive approach to energy management, where EV batteries will be utilized as an energy source, and we are also focusing on resource circulation, including the reuse and repurposing of EV batteries, which contain various rare resources. Starting with this initiative with MC in the area of mini-EVs in Japan, Honda will strive to maximize the value we offer to our customers and build a foundation for sustainable business from a long-term perspective, while working with a variety of partners and accommodating the unique market characteristics of each region.”
Katsuya Nakanishi President & CEO Mitsubishi Corporation
“We understand that the convergence of different sectors such as mobility, energy, services and data is an irreversible trend. Examples can be seen all over the world, as companies seek to go carbon neutral, and new business models like MaaS and CASE (in the automobile industry) pick up stream. MC is aiming to develop its own new business models that balance electrification and decarbonization, to create new cross-industry services, and otherwise reinventing ourselves in keeping with the times.”
