Yukio Kani, JERA Global CEO and Chair, said,&nbsp;"This Blue Point project is a testament to the strong alliances we are building to advance low-carbon solutions. The U.S. remains a cornerstone market for JERA, and this initiative underscores our long-term commitment to expanding our presence with diversified and sustainable energy projects."
Mr. Kenichi Hori, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mitsui &amp; Co., Ltd, added, "Mitsui will establish a low-carbon ammonia value-chain worldwide by leveraging its presence in the US gas value chain from natural gas to chemicals including this project, and our strength and track record in the global trading of ammonia."
