- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「In February 2026, a test facility capable of producing 400N㎥/h of e-methane was completed and demonstration operations began as part of the technology development project being conducted jointly with INPEX in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, with the aim of commercializing methanation technology. The e-methane produced was also injected into a natural gas pipeline.」
