The Northern Territory (NT) Government in Australia has signed two significant memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with the Japan Organisation for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) to strengthen collaboration in critical minerals and energy sectors.

The first MOU establishes a cooperative framework across various energy sectors, including natural gas, carbon capture and storage and hydrogen production. The second MOU focuses on advancing collaboration within critical mineral supply chains, promoting joint efforts in the exploration, extraction, processing, and supply of essential minerals such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, graphite and rare earth elements.

NT Chief Minister Eva Lawler emphasized the importance of these agreements: “My government is driving the Territory’s economy and strengthening our partnerships with Japan to implement more cost-of-living initiatives for Territorians. By enhancing our collaboration with key trading partners like Japan, we are boosting the Northern Territory’s emerging critical minerals sector and creating more job opportunities.”

The agreements highlight the NT’s strategic role in the global shift towards renewable energy and critical mineral supply chains. NT Mining Minister Mark Monaghan noted, “The Northern Territory is rich in critical minerals essential for the global energy transition. This agreement with JOGMEC will enhance our capacity to develop these resources responsibly and efficiently, benefiting both our economies. The NT is well-positioned with a strong pipeline of emerging mining projects to be a reliable partner to Japan long into the future.”

This partnership builds on previous collaborations, such as the MOU signed last year between FPX Nickel, JOGMEC, and Prime Planet Energy & Solutions (PPES) to improve the battery metal supply chain with a reduced environmental footprint.
