MESJ Membership

Methanol Energy System Japan (MESJ) places strong emphasis on collaboration with companies, research institutions, government organizations, and international organizations toward the realization of a methanol-based carbon-neutral society.

The MESJ Partnership Program is a collaborative platform where diverse organizations interested in a methanol-based society can share the latest information, discuss technical challenges, and explore future joint activities and the formation of a consortium.

In the initial stage, MESJ will begin its activities mainly through monthly seminars, information exchange, and the sharing of technical and policy-related challenges. Through dialogue with participating companies and organizations, MESJ aims to develop these activities into a full-scale consortium in the future.
