According to the MoU, feasibility studies will be conducted to decide the best opportunities in the petroleum sector to carry out carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects to produce blue ammonia using the latest Japanese technologies, the ministry said. The study will be ready in six months.
Blue ammonia is mostly produced using natural gas, with carbon emissions being captured and stored or reused.
