The Advanced Hydrogen Energy Chain Association for Technology Development (AHEAD) will supply hydrogen produced in Brunei for energy company, ENEOS Corporation (ENEOS) to use in its refinery decarbonisation trials.

AHEAD, a joint organisation established in July 2017, comprises several partners, including Chiyoda Corporation, Mitsubishi, Mitsui & Co, and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (the ‘Partners’).

The organisation will see the hydrogen delivered via a saturated hydrocarbon known as methylcyclohexane (MCH). With its ‘clean energy’ status, hydrogen emits no carbon dioxide (CO2) and is being investigated on a global scale by multiple industries as a method to reduce carbon emissions.
