Pact to explore sustainable methane pilot project in Oman
MUSCAT: Oman LNG has signed an agreement with Japan-based Kanadevia Corporation (formerly Hitachi Zosen Corp) to carry out a detailed feasibility study for establishing a pilot plant to produce sustainable methane. The initiative marks a significant step toward expanding clean energy technologies in the Sultanate of Oman. The agreement includes two major components: a technical and commercial evaluation of a future commercial plant and a preliminary engineering study for a smaller-scale pilot facility. The commercial facility is expected to produce up to 18,000 standard cubic metres of sustainable methane per hour, while the pilot plant will initially generate around 1,200 standard cubic metres per hour. The proposed pilot project will feature three core elements: a seawater desalination unit, an electrolyser system to produce hydrogen from water, and a methanation system that combines green hydrogen with captured carbon dioxide to synthesise methane. Technologies such as carbon capture and reuse (CCR) and advanced catalysis will be central to the process. The initial phase will involve the preparation of detailed design specifications, cost estimates, and planning for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities. Hamad bin Mohammed al Naamany, CEO of Oman LNG, said the project seeks to turn environmental challenges into industrial opportunities by reusing carbon dioxide emissions to produce methane. 'This project leverages cutting-edge carbon capture and reuse technologies and integrates them into LNG operations, aligning with our goals for sustainability and innovation,' he stated. This latest agreement builds upon a Memorandum of Understanding signed in March 2024 between the governments of Oman and Japan, which aims to foster collaboration in hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon recycling technologies. — ONA

Marcos returns from working visit to Osaka
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. meets with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) officials during his working visit to Osaka, Japan on June 21, 2025. Photo from his official Instagram account President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is back in the Philippines after a working visit to Osaka, Japan, his office said Sunday evening. Marcos landed in the Philippines at 6 p.m. after a four-day visit that included meeting with the Filipino community in Osaka and establishing business commitments with Japanese firms. "Kanadevia Corporation will partner with Philippine Ecology Systems Corp. on a waste-to-energy project that will help manage waste while generating clean energy. Tsuneishi Group will build the world's first methanol dual-fueled KAMSARMAX bulk carrier in Cebu, creating jobs and positioning the Philippines as a leader in green shipping," Marcos said in a social media post. "We also strengthened our partnership with Japanese tourism leaders to bring more visitors to the Philippines and open more opportunities for our workers. Our meeting with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency opened new paths for cooperation in space technology to enhance disaster monitoring, support farmers, and strengthen community safety," he added. Marcos, who was accompanied by First Lady Louise "Liza" Araneta Marcos, also twice paid a visit to the Philippine Pavilion at the 2025 Expo currently taking place in Osaka Marcos left on Thursday, with Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, Education Secretary Sonny Angara, and Agrarian Reform Secretary Conrado Estrella III appointed as caretakers until his return. — BM, GMA Integrated News

Marcos: PH partnering with Japan for waste-to-energy project
Pres. Marcos said the Philippines is working with Kanadevia Corporation in Osaka, Japan for a waste-to-energy project in Manila. (Photo from PCO) President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Friday met with executives of the Kanadevia Corporation in Osaka, Japan for a waste-to-energy project in Manila. ''Masaya akong ibalita na katuwang natin ang Kanadevia Corporation ng Japan sa isang makasaysayang Waste-to-Energy project para sa Maynila,'' Marcos, who is in Japan for a working visit, said in a social media post. (I'm happy to report that we are working with Kanadevia Corporation in Japan for a historic Waste-to-Energy project in Manila.) ''Sa proyektong ito, libo-libong tonelada ng basura ang gagawing malinis na enerhiya at makatutulong ito na mabawasan ang pagbaha, magbigay ng trabaho, at linisin ang ating mga komunidad,'' he added. (In this project, tons of waste will be transformed to energy to help in addressing floods, providing jobs, and cleaning our communities.) During the meeting, Kanadevia Corporation's investment plan for the Manila Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Project was tackled. The project will be done in partnership with the Phil. Ecology Systems Corp. (PhilEco), a major player in the design, construction, and operation of integrated sanitary solid waste management and disposal facilities in the Philippines. Kanadevia Corporation specializes in environmental systems, including advanced WtE facilities, desalination plants and water treatment technologies. The said firm was the Japanese proponent, co-investor and technology provider in the Manila WtE Project. Further, Marcos also had a meeting with the executives of Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., ranked as among the world's top shipbuilders. The company has been a key player in the international maritime industry since 1917, accounting for a significant share of the global market for medium-sized bulk carriers. It is embarking on its fifth phase of expansion in its shipyard in Balamban, Cebu by investing in new capital equipment and enhancing research and development capabilities. —LDF, GMA Integrated News
