Methanol Reformer to supply Mitsubishi Gas Chemical with L18 methanol reformer technology
- The L18 system, developed by Methanol Reformer, will produce hydrogen from methanol to support hydrogen applications at MGC’s Niigata facility.
- This project represents Methanol Reformer’s first deployment in Japan and a significant step in validating its reforming technology under Japanese industrial standards.
- The agreement strengthens Methanol Reformer’s presence in Asia and aligns with MGC’s long-term strategy to integrate advanced hydrogen technologies into its production and energy roadmap
Methanol Reformer has signed a Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. (MGC) for the supply of an L18 methanol reformer to be compliant with Japanese industry requirements. The system will be delivered and installed at MGC’s Niigata plant, with commissioning planned for the second half of 2026.
This milestone marks Methanol Reformer’s first industrial project in Japan and reinforces the company’s presence in the Asian market. For MGC, the collaboration supports the adoption of innovative hydrogen-generation solutions designed to enhance operational applicability and efficiency with reliability.
Manufacturing and Certification Underway. Manufacturing and certification activities will begin at Methanol Reformer’s facilities, following local standards and project milestones. These processes will ensure that the L18 reformer meets all technical, safety, and performance requirements ahead of delivery and commissioning in 2026.
Reliable and Proven Reforming Technology. The L18 system integrates methanol reforming technology to generate hydrogen on demand in a compact, modular, and efficient configuration suited for industrial environments. This hydrogen will support selected hydrogen applications at MGC’s Niigata plant, contributing to the company’s broader energy strategy.
